@FinnKitten123 I replaced my whinning hard drive with a 500GB M2 drive, as my MoBo had a second slot for M2 (M2 Pcie only, not M2 SSD). Cost me $80-, but huge reduction in noise, and faster speed, especially boot up. My noisest component now is my stock AMD CPU cooler, but with the PC under my desk I'm ok with that, its quiet and lower pitch hum compared to that horrible high pitch spinning hard drive. So I'll leave the CPU cooler untiI I feel like upgrading to dedicated CPU cooler to achieve a totally silent PC. Note my graphics card, a second hand EVGE 980 Ti has the fan stop mode, for total silence when in office work mode of low spec gaming. I think most cards have the fan stop mode now but worth checking if you are buying a GPU and a silient PC is what you want, at least in 'office/browsing mode'.
I have that kind of hdd in my old pentium 2 pc. There it's a 2gb quantum fireball. I didn't know that it was the hdd that was making these sounds until I watched this video)
@@ericp4573 Let it rest over foam. I did it and I tought during some years that the sound of my HDD was the sound that actually is the sound of the PC fans. I never hear my HDD working! :P

5:50 my 500gb seagate 7200.12 from 2009 isn't loud at all. i bought a new 1tb barracuda this 2021, it sounds like a popcorn machine all the time so i bought 1tb western wd10ezex, it vibrates so loud that it rocks my whole case. i even put in it bubble wrap and on the 2 cords of front panel jumpers. the thing is still loud on idle. can it harm other pc parts if it vibrates the whole case?
Sameee , just with me i touched the edge of pc, like drag the case then noise stop but seconds later it comes back. Pc dosent freeze tho, thats unfortunate.
I've been thinking about making a fileserver since a very long time. A NAS could be cool but it's quite expensive and doesn't usually reach the full gigabit brandwidth. A homemade PC does, and it could also have other server's functions.
I have that problem (but a little less noisy) with the Avolusion Pro X 8TB White of Amazon for my Ps5, but the intermittent blue light is REALLY ANNOYING.
Those Quantum 8.4 GB drives are about the loudest you could pick, and they're about 20 years old. Not a fair comparison, most harddrives are not anywhere that loud. Also the 10k and 15k harddrives aren't meant for consumer PCs, so no wonder whey were developed with something else in mind rather than noise reduction. Good modern harddrives are barely audible...even my WD Caviar Black 2 TB drive.
Thank you and bless you. That quantum sounds like a motorcycle lol. I regret buying Enermax , i have no were to place HDD in a cabinet wich is annoying ending me to put it simply down beside PSU. When i touch pc is stops the noise, but then makes noise seconds later. Next time going to get better case. Noise and warm is simply the core thing that makes pc enjoyment lower especially in gaming. Guess gotta take hdd somewhere. I hope there exist a place where you can store data without drives, that be dope.
although this is an old video, i'd like to point out, that modern hard drives got rid of AAM, because fuck consumers. also modern decent harddrives like let's say the 8 TB wd gold drives are enterprise drives, so sound levels are not cared about at all. so today, u don't get a tiny piece of software (AAM) to silence your drive or even get a decent silent drive, great world we're living in.... u gotta find old unicorns like the hgst megascale cold storage enterprise drives, that are dead silent 4 TB drives, but they are out of production for a while. the tech world really sucks and ssds still cost an arm and a leg. and of course i'm already using ssds for my games and operating systems, but my media can not fit on ssds....
I thought my hdd was loud until I watched this video
yes. I feel better now about my HD.

Mine does and I hate it
@@ericp4573 Try to move problematic HDD on the bottom place in cage, that resolved problem by 50% in my case

Couldn't stop laughing at 3:26. It sounds like a muffled machine gun XD
Charl Meyers lmao
watching this video made it quieter i think i’m immune to hard drive noise now that was so loud!

imagine finding the hard drive sounds cause it's so satifying, the sound of copy and paste
Thank you!
No offense meant by the following line

Solution 4 doesn't work on my WD 1to :(
6:15 HDD with PTSD: executing Charlie.exe
When ever I kick my pc on the side it shuts the sound up. But it freezes my pc
That’s because your damaging the hard drive
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funnier than being informative. Bir still informative

is the noise a 3:28 normal? my hardrive does this, and vibrates my desk too.

weird but my old CMR WD Blue 500GB makes way less noise than new CMR WD Blue 1TB and they both have same 7200 RPM

Does the sponge increase risk of fire??
After two years and minimal use. Last night the hard drive got louder. Sounds like a slow grinding noise.
Back up data and replace it before its too late
NewEgg.com has Sandisk SSD drives starting at $49. for 120 GB and $79. for 240 GB
John Durham wow, you can now get an ssd 120gb for $19.99
3:27 Gun is loaded. Fire!

Resonance cascade time
My left ear likes this video...
Dude you're high af
06:14 what?!
Hdd goes brrrrt
2:50 I have been using computers for almost 20 years and I have never heard an HDD making such loud noises, is it possessed!? XD
6:04 sound is normla sound or need to change HDD ????
Wait.. so my hdd drive makes this grinding sound.. like the sound of like uhh ... Loud as heck is this why?? Well i think i am getting a new ssd
Oh blimey, the noice!
6:04 literally my HDD from my old pc
Is that sound denotes the HDD is good condition or bad?
hmm can i put my os from hdd to ssd i mean if i have activated key on that hdd ?
Emgeton DSO you need to reinstall
NO you Don't.....
i know this is 3 years ago but cloning exists...
3:25 Call an exorcist
He sounds like he didn't brush his teeth in a long time
u told to get newer hdd well i have 500gb wd blue and its still loud
I may have found the solution, place some bubble wrap around the hard drive where it is touching the case, this greatly reduces vibration!
ill get ssd and use only as storage
although this is an old video,
i'd like to point out, that modern hard drives got rid of AAM, because fuck consumers.
also modern decent harddrives like let's say the 8 TB wd gold drives are enterprise drives, so sound levels are not cared about at all.
so today, u don't get a tiny piece of software (AAM) to silence your drive or even get a decent silent drive, great world we're living in....
u gotta find old unicorns like the hgst megascale cold storage enterprise drives, that are dead silent 4 TB drives, but they are out of production for a while.

2.50 jet engine was start
Just buy a laptop hard drive this is just obvious
