WD Blue HDD makes REALLY loud and annoying noise

[Skybbles]

And i tell you what, this sound is even more annoying than coil while. It sounds like someone dragging a rock very audibly. Or you might say it sounds like a bubbling noise in a box. My phone only recorded air, but i could hear it from 3 meters away! Probably seek noise? How do i fix it?

Use headphones or put something between you and the pc.

WD blue are not as great as what some people on this forum claim them to be. I had older ones die a month after warranty ended. Do a smart test and back up your data. WD are a bit noisier than other drive when they are working properly. Is it making loud tapping noises or is it more to do with the drives spin?
