Hey, before I begin, let me make some things clear.This is a laptop hard drive.This laptop is only a few months old.The sound doesn't happen at start up.

This sound lasts less than a second.It lasts long enough for you to notice, but not long enough to tell what it was.This happens at a random, and in a big period (1-2 per week).Just wondering if my Hard Drive is at a danger.

The full Hard Drive name: WDC WD10JPVX-60JC3T0
The Windows Disk Management shows all partitions as "Healthy".
CrystalDiskInfo shows drive as "Good".

Here's it's report:

Hey there, Boops De Dooper!

The grinding noises are never a good sign! :( I'd strongly advise you to backup any important data from the HDD ASAP! The sounds could be indicating an internal physical damage on the HDD. Unfortunately, sometimes even HDD diagnostic utility cannot detect such an issue. I'd second what the guys above said and recommend you to contact the laptop manufacturer's customer support. Your laptop is rather new, so it should still be covered by the warranty. The OEM support should be able to provide you with a repair and replacement of the failed hardware.

Good luck!
