WD1002FAEX making strange buzzing sounds

Lately, my caviar black drive has been making some very strange noises under heavy load, such as during a virus scan.

I’ve made a recording of the noises and uploaded it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-L7lJGhABM

What’s going on?

Not sure dude

try testing with HDTune or Data Lifeguard Diagnostics

I’ve run them, and they both come back fine. I’m just worried about these noises.

Yeah…sounds funky tough

you can replace it if you want

yeah I’m wondering the same thing the sounds coming out of mine aren’t nearly as funky but I wouldn’t expect any sound to come out of the hard drive
