My old Hitachi hard drive was dying so I bought a new Toshiba drive and replaced it, while the old one was in bad shape I never heard any sounds coming from it but I just started using this one and I can hear a whirring/scratching noise I never heard before (by the way I'm certain it is hard drive and not the fan or any other part of my laptop) it doesn't sound constantly, I can only hear it sometimes and it's not very loud I tried to record it but it's not audible on a device. Edit: I was able to record it. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0o8s79nqPNd

it only sounds once and not very often, I did hear this one in my other hard drive as well.
I tested the drive with several tools and they all say it's working perfectly, and I haven't had any problems while running Windows, I'm just wondering is if it's normal to be hearing this because the hard drive is very new.
