Hard Drive Noise

So my secondary internal HDD has started making this low kind of rattling vibrating noise noise when data or games are being loaded from it.
Its not super loud or anything but it is noticeable when the room is quiet, usually only lasts about 2 seconds when starting a game from the drive or accessing files on that dive.
Is this a normal noise or could it be the HDD going bad already? I ran dskchk and error checking and no errors were found and is branded as "healthy"

Only bought this Hard drive maybe 2 months ago tops, thankfully its just a secondary I use to store some of my games and not my system files so IF I do end up having to replace it it will only be inconvenient and not a major problem.
HDD is a Toshiba P300 2tb 7200 drive.
 

Thanks for the reply, yea I took it out and re-seated it into the bay and that helped the vibrating sound the noise now seems fairly normal so I'll just keep an eye.. well ear on it for a bit to make sure :)
