Could you record the noise it is making? Hard drives do make noise under normal operation, it's just a "click" that worries me.

1. I just realized i gave you the wrong HDD, its actually a WD black 4tb

 

2. I've compared the sounds to the WD ones below and its nothing similar, so hopefully its just a healthy noise?

It's quite possibly a normal operation sound, then. No problem!

Sounds normal to me. A few drive tools out there allow you to change the internal acoustic levels of the drive if supported. The head will move slower, and thus be quieter.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
