Built this computer about 2 weeks ago and ever since it’s been making this odd noise. I’m pretty sure it’s the harddrive since when I removed it the sound stopped.

 

Sound only happens sometimes, its not rhythmic. On some boots it doesnt even happen or very rarely happens.

 

Harddrive is a Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM

That's standard hard drive noise. Whenever the read head is moving around or parking, you'll hear it for sure. Same when the disk spins up.
