Apparatus and method for reducing the generation of acoustic noise in a disc drive. A seek is carried out to move a head from an initial track to a destination track on a corresponding disc surface using a servo circuit which outputs a series of current command values indicative of successive magnitudes of current to be applied to an actuator motor. A velocity profile provides a sequence of demand velocities indicative of the desired velocity as the head is decelerated to the destination track. During the seek, open loop current is applied to the actuator motor to accelerate the head away from the initial track, the current command values defining a rising portion wherein the current is successively increased to a first level and a subsequent falling portion wherein the current is successively decreased to a second level, the rising and falling portions each preferably characterized as a one quarter sine wave at a selected frequency. The head is subsequently decelerated to the destination track by applying current in relation to velocity error determined as the difference between the velocity profile and the actual velocity of the head.
