New WD Red plus ticking! (wd60efzx)

I just received a 6TB red (wd60efzx) and it’s giving weird ticking sounds, it’s like something scratching (louder on writing and reading than idle)
Should I return it and get a new one or do all WD Red have the same issues? (it’s my first WD HDD)

Dead community! Where should I contact WD on then
