This is about an Medion Akoya P5338i, a tower Computer.
The computer is brand new, bought yesterday.
There are no issues with performance as far as I can tell, but there is a weird clicking sound coming from inside the tower. It always comes twice to four times in a row every five to thirty seconds.
It does not sound like your typical HDD failing sound. It actually sounds very much like the clicking sound of a mouse.
Before the clicking, the HDD makes a subtle sound of spinning, which leads me to believe that it is in fact the HDD having some problems.
I searched for anyone else having this issue but to no avail. It's a quiet sound, subtle, but comes very often.
So is this normal? Should I worry?

It's possible that the WD blue might be making these sounds due to improper mounting inside the PC case, but since it's brand new I'd definitely not advise you to tamper with it physically. Instead, I'd strongly recommend running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from
