Is it seated correctly in the mount? I could be that a screw has become loose. If your HDD clicks, get that shit backed up and RMA'D 

I just got a new case for my pc and put everything on the new case (Motherboard, psu, gpu and hdd) I screwed everything in place and it doesnt even move. I am 100% sure that my hdd is seated correctly and I also got some rubber feet under it so it doesnt vibrate too much.

Also what is RMA'd and how do I do it? I have a 10tb backup server for my house so everything backs up every 3 hours there so i think i am safe.

This is what it sounds like. Is this the clicking noise you were saying???

That continous sound was under a medium load. When it is idle it does it every 10 seconds or so.

If its underload it is moving the head across a disk. Try defragmenting it, I did that with an old HDD and It wasn't so loud because it didn't have to travel a lot across the disk
