my hdd is doing weird noises

[bomboy 2121]

i recentlly got a new pc with ssd and hdd, i didnt thougt it was a problem because i was used for a really messed up pc before but a friend pointed it out for me.
my hdd makes weird noises (kinda sound like a cd drive trying to read a new disc) every 5 secs-1 min.
is it normal? should i send it for a check (i got full warranty on it)

hmmm, run Resource Monitor and click on the Disk tab and look at what's accessing the disk. all the programs using it will show up there.

Can you record the sound?

Also check health of your drives with HDtune health. Post screenshots.

and this is the sound http://www.mediafire.com/file/f2yn9jjt8aso9ck/Record-001.aac/file (go to around 2:20, this is where i started downloading a game from steam and it became constant. uselly you can hear it for 0.5-1 secs every 5 secs-1min at random time when not under any kind of load)

run hdd diagnostics on it. get it from the drive manufacturer.

bomboy 2121, get in touch with Seagate support here so you can confirm the with them the state in which the HDD is in.

i got it from a website that sells built pc and they are the ones who should be checking it or sending it to seagate in case of malfuctions...i dont think seagate offers support in my country so that my only option

you cant really hear THAT sound well there, i only have my phone to record it and its hard to hear it there

I heard it 2:20 - 2:25. Sounds normal - usual head positioning sound.

thats normal? even if i leave the pc like that and do nothing in the background? my old pc didnt made those noises

i downloaded the seagate progrem and run all the (quick) test and anything seems fine

You can watch it here - same normal sound of HDD operating.

Just don't do, what this guy did. Opening HDD in non-clean room environment kills it.

yes this is indeed the sound it makes, is it also normal when its not under-load?

You can't really know, when it's under load.
There are multiple windows services, that can cause HDD utilization without even asking you anything - search indexer, windows defender, disk defragmenter, windows updates.

i still think its way to constant sudden and annoying that it would be counted as normal....

Have to say - nothing from your collected data supports that.
