Well now I hear some head movements, but very, very quiet.

Well I think I can hear the unload, but its difficult to tell, since=20
pressing the return key to enter the command also makes some noise.

Well, lets see:

shambhala:~> sleep 5 ; hdparm --idle-unload /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 issuing idle_immediate_unload command

Yes! I heard it. ;)
