Hei, does anyone can check these sound files and see if the hard drive is supposed to act like this or is it failing?

I am confused when the drive starts it makes som scratching noise and when it i close it, it then also makes a scratch noise.

After the starting scratching noise the drive is producing very low noise since it still has not showed up on the computer, when it does it will start produsing noise and i also open some folders and i guess those sounds are normal however when i unmount it will make then scratch noise.

Recorded with smartphone, placed on top / beside.

Solution
This sounds like normal NAS/hard drive noises to me.
Just to be sure, run the Seagate tools diagnostic on the drive to make sure it reports clean health.
