Periodic Noise from Head Movement WD Black 4TB

I’m having the same issue with a brand new WD4004FZWX drive. Every 5 seconds of idle, it clicks.

I’ve owned lots of WD drives before, and I’ve never had anything like this (at least not as frequent as every 5 seconds!).

Is there any way to disable it, or change the interval to something a little more sanity-preserving, like 5 minutes?
