Thank you for the suggestions, but this isn't quite what I am looking for. Moving the NAS to another room isn't an option, bedroom and bathroom are even less suitable for a NAS :D
I don't wish to modify the appearance of it either. For one, I've spent quite a lot of time designing and building the enclosure from scratch (it's a unique and original design from my creation). Then, it sits in my TV cabinet and space is an additional concern.
Ah, gotcha. Depending upon the design and how much space it has, that might actually bring up another possibility. Some of the issue with drive noise comes up as it's mechanically-transmitted to the case. If you haven't already, two ways to reduce transmission of drive noise I've seen used is to either mount the drive on silicone or rubber gaskets or -- and this requires more space on a per-drive basis -- suspend it by elastic bands.
I don't know if that's something that would be trivial or a lot of work to add to your custom NAS, but I've done both and found that it was helpful with drive noise transmission to metal cases.
If I were to rework the drive mounting solution, I would probably redo the whole case from scratch. Currently the drives are slotted inside 5.25" bays and theses are assembled together with 3D printed brackets. I have the impression vibration are not transferring too much to the case and outside.
Maybe I can find some rubber damper that would fit around the drives inside the 5.25" bays.
