I have a very noisy external 500 GB drive which I use mostly for synchronizing local files.
In OS X I used to eject the drive, and mount it later when I need it with the Disk Utility.
Is there a GUI for doing so in Ubuntu?

Try gparted:
sudo apt-get install gparted
The other question is about "auto mount" features. My question was specifically about the ability to mount a drive that I ejected myself in the same session, via GUI.
This can be done in the Disks program, as Mitch pointed out in the comments:
I feel this question is relevant, because in Windows 7 I never found a way to do this. If I ejected my (very noisy) Seagate USB hardrive, I would be unable to mount it again short of restarting Windows or pulling and plugging the cable again.
Disk Utility
application which serves this functionality.
