HDD making noise.Normal?

FenrirLF

Hello guys.
So i got a new HDD Western Digital Blue 1TB and when i open a file or a game/program that's installed on the HDD it makes a small grinding noise? you can say and then when i quit the program etc it stops or its not that "Consistent".
I dowloaded HD Sentinel to check the Health of the Drives and it seems completely fine.
What do you think guys?

It's pretty normal for HDDs to make some amount of noise when reading data-- if it doesn't report errors, it's more than likely fine.

No its not appearing any errors.I double checked and the disk hasn't shown any errors when i open something, it just makes a sound when for example i play an Open World game,its like a grinding but more "light" i guess you can call it fluttering.
The HDD is brand new i got it today.

You mean i should wait and see if it dies or not?
