My Book 8TB -- high frequency clicking noise when idle

I just bought WDBBGB0080HBK and I can hear this noise when there’s no active read/write operation:

Every 4-5 seconds a louder noise, but the more silent clicking in the background is what I’m worrying about… Should I return it?

Hi ddmb,

You can refer the links provided below to determine the normal drive operation noise of the drive.
