Noisy drive while running games.

Hello everyone. This is sorta of a continuation of my previous thread about the squeaky hdd. In the previous thread, the issue resolved when I replaced the drive but now the new drive is making a repetitive noise along with clicking too.  This issue only occurs if I am playing a graphically intense game, other games while they do make noise, it eventually calms down. I don't know if the disk is just spinning fast to read the data or if it is defective. This is my first time using a Seagate drive so I am not too familiar with how it normally sounds.

Sorry but is that constant noise in the background you fans or does the drive make that noise?

 

That click is weird. Usually the heads don't make a consistent clicking sound. Sometimes there might be sounds when the drive spins up or ramps down and the head parks but yours doesn't seem like that.

Both really, the grinding noise in the background usually starts before the clicking begins.
