Squeak from HDDs on power off (video)

WD Internal Drives Desktop & Mobile Drives
1

Hello,
Sometimes I hear this squeak sound from inside my drives when shutdown (normal or forced shutdown).
You can view the videos online on this website:

Video 1 the squeak happens at 00:15 seconds.

Video 2 the squeak happens at 00:10 seconds.

I checked and I’m sure the sound is from the hard drives.

Should I RMA the drives? I have a total of 6 WD RED 6TB.
