‘Disquiet’ means to make someone uneasy. Example: “I was disquieted by the thunder outside.”
‘Disturb’ has a stronger meaning. Example: “Seeing him yell at his child was disturbing to me.”
‘Disturb’ can also mean to break someone’s concentration. Example: “Please don’t disturb me while I’m studying.”
