So I have this WD Blue and it's loud and annoying and I must make it quieter. I thought it was loud because I didn't screw it in but now that I screwed it in it's still loud! I got a SSD a while back and now the hard drive randomly turns on and that makes it even more annoying! Do any of you guys have advice for me?

Is it vibration? Or maybe it's dying. If it's vibration get some of that stuff they use to make fans not transfer vibrations it's like foam or rubber idk
