Today I though my HDD is going to die, but then I acknowledged that HDD was fine, its just vibration of caused such weird noise, because on my hands it was like normal HDD and when connected to case it was making sounds . Now I have a question how to DIY remove that vibration?

Foam..maybe some soft foam to be exact. Or have it attached to something solid and tighten down.

I had a refurbished 1TB Seagate drive that vibrated more than some adult toys. I don't think it's necessarily a sign of failure, but it sure was imbalanced. My guess, some screws on the spindle motor were torqued more than others. Personally, I didn't end up trusting that drive since some other ones I had laying around barely vibrated at all, and that specific Seagate was ridiculously noisy in any environment I tried using it in.
