Hard drive grinding noise?

[johngaspar]

Hi, I just installed my new 2TB WD Black HDD and while I was transferring files over it started making a grinding noise. It's not constant, but happens frequent for like a second whenever it does make the noise I was wondering if this was normal? My old WD Blue HDD never made that noise so I'm a bit worried. Thanks.

EDIT: This is what it sounds like when I'm playing

I swapped over to SSD's and WDC red(storage since speed is not an issue) or laptop drives(some of these will park the heads often and you may hear it park/unpark). Much less noise for me now.
