Hello all, I got my HDD today, and stupid me, i wanted to see the model number and i turned the external HDD upside down to see it. I turned it back over after reading te model number, and i heard a small noise when i did so. Im a bit paranoid about if my HDD is ok. SMART reads the drive is OK. The G-sense error rate due to impact is 2. Could someone make my mind at peace please.

i mean i turned over my hard drive TONS of times when I build PC's. In some cases I even dropped them. But no damage is done. Plus, what make and model is your HDD?

I meant while the HDD is spinning. I got a 1 TB Seagate expansion drive Model SRD0NF1, 5400 rpm, around 30mbps r/w excellent on my RPi 3b+.

Either while your HDD was spinning it got loose and knocked the Platter out or made it loose, or the spindle is loose. It's either a delivery mistake. Anyways what I'd recommend doing is either send your HDD to a trusted repair centre (like a hard drive recovery centre) or either use your warranty (idk if HDDS or seagate has warrantys) and get a new one. Or either backup all your data to a external HDD.
