[SOLVED] 1TB Barracuda HDD is making a weird gurgling noise

[Galooney]

Exactly as the title states, the sound that my HDD is making is like gurgling. I went close and it is like a low grumble every few seconds. It is super annoying when I hear it on my side. I just bought this HDD and I was wondering if it could be faulty. I have booted up Windows and tested and everything seems to be fine. Is this a cause for concern?

try running the short and long tests and see what it says - https://www.seagate.com/au/en/support/downloads/seatools/seatools-win-master/

Both the short and long tests turned passed. So I'm guessing that the noise is just normal and I have nothing to worry about?

New noises are usually not good.
Did it do this before?

The noise was there the entire time. I booted up Windows Installation on a usb and installed it into the hard drive and has been making the noise the entire time.

Yea it has just arrived yesterday and I immediately opened it up and installed a new Windows 10 into it.

OK then... Normal for that particular device.

Use it until it dies.
