Just loose mounting.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help here. Just now I woke my computer from sleep and noticed a buzzing noise. I restarted and it was still there so I popped off the side panel and took the video below. The sound is definitely caused by hard drive vibrations because it stops or gets quiter when I put my finger on it. I'm wondering if this is a sign that something is wrong and how I would go about fixing it if it is. Also the hard drive in question is the Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 2tb which I've had vibration problems with in the past.

 

*You may need to turn your volume up to hear the noise, my microphone isn't that good.

Well, getting a cannot play video error (no supported format/mime type)

 

Either way, might want to look into backing up whatever is there and moving to a newer HDD or and SSD

I remounted it and tightened the cage. No sound as of booting back up, so I guess this is solved. Thanks!
