Question Strange hard drive sound

[Planhigyn]

Hi, I’ve just noticed this strange electrical noise coming from my pc after upgrading. I’ve narrowed it down to the hard drive making the noise and need to know if it’s something I need to be worried about. I’m still able to access everything on there (it’s only a few steam games) and transfer data fine. Is this noise something I need to be worried about?

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B850 Elite Wifi 7 Ice
PSU: Corsair RM 850W gold, new and recently purchased
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: RTX 3060ti (soon upgrading to 9070 XT)
RAM: 32gb Corsair vengeance 6000MHz CL30
SSD: WD blue SN550 1TB NVMe
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 800GB used - No important data on it
AIO: Lian Li Galahad 2 Trinity + 3 IFSL fans
Fans: 7x Lian Li Sl120 wireless
Monitor: LG ultra gear 27GS75Q, 27 inch, 1440p, 180Hz
Peripherals: ND65 Keyboard and Logitech g502 hero mouse (both wired)



Thanks

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, used, refurbished)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

All attached peripherals?

Monitor(s): make, model, connectivity?

= = = =

Is all important data backed up at least 2 x to locations away from the system in question? Verify that all backups are recoverable and readable.

Disk drives can and do fail and can do so at any time without warning.

The noise is a warning....
