Question HDD Seagate Barracuda weird sound

[Gawels]

Hi everyone!

Just 2 days ago I bought new Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive (ST2000DM008). I plugged it in, set it up and everything was fine till I found out that this disk make weird noise while under load (for example launching and playing a game which is installed on this disk). It makes some kind of bubbling noise? It sound a little bit like boiling water in the kettle. I am sure this noise comes from hdd as I took it out of the computer case to listen to it.

I uploaded this noise to the SoundCloud.

Should I be worried?

I used to hear this noise on older HDD while running disk defrag tool, especially when the HDD is nearly full.

If your HDD is new then yes you should be worried.
