I am getting this annoying low base humming noise from my harddisks which cycles from quiet to loud every ~5 seconds.
It almost sound as if something is wrong with the motor suspension. There are no strange clicking noise or data loss.....yet
I have 3 harddisks and 2 of them are making this noise. The loudest one is a 200gb seagate and it causes my entire case to rattle. The second one is a 750GB hitachi which is quieter but still annoying.
I tried testing them with harddisk diagnostic tools and so far they have all checked out. I tried everything from cushioning the drives to surrounding it with sound proofing tiles, but the damn noise seems to penetrate everything.
Is this normal ?? Has anyone encountered this problem before ??
