So i got 2 new wd blue hdd's,one of those sounds pretty weird and loud,louder than the other other one,the sound is almost like a fan spinning,the weird thing is that it passes all tests like smart,bad sector testing and reads and writes are normal.Should i rma it?

What @Netivitystated, or you could return it to the place you purchased it from, exchange and get a new one. It'd be quicker than official RMA through WD.
