Seagate barracuda clicking

[homelessfreak]

My brand new seagate barracuda 200gb SATA hard drive is making quite a loud clicking sound. i am just wondering if it is my hard drive or wather they all do it. My old (very old) hard drive didnt make any noice compared to this.

I was hoping i wouldnt get that response but should it be running pritty much silently?

yes, when my old hd failed it started making a really annoying clicking sound that made me angry. then failed
