Replace this HDD?

Go to solution Solved by Gibster,

Problem solved! So I opened the case to see what the problem was as Godlygamer23 suggested to touch the drive... The problem was in fact the latches the Corsair Carbide 500r uses in the expansion bays.

What was happening was the tip of that was jumping up and down so fast it was creating that loud noise you heard in the recording, a few pieces of paper sorted the problem right out! Thanks for the replies!

I've been dealing with this really loud noise in my PC since I've bought it, my primary driver other than my SSD makes this unbearable sound when writing in particular I think. I've recorded the sound do you guys think it's time to claim warranty?

Is the hard drive fully mounted in the location?

What happens if you push on it lightly when this noise occurs?

I hope you didn't mount the drive in a 5.25" rather than a 3.5". I doubt that would a caused problems though.
