A new Western Digital WD2004FBYZ HDD makes a strange noise after shut down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpsdrIa4wjM
It could be related to this topic http://wdstagingsplit.staged-by-discourse.com/t/wd2002faex-2tb-black-6-gb-s-strange-noise-after-shut-down-system/14362 .
The drive works perfectly in Windows and shows no SMART warnings.
I have already checked the drive with Quick Test in WinDlg.
Any ideas what could be the source of this noise? I have never heard a HDD making a noise like this.

Hi there,
I would suggest replacing the drive, this is not a common sound for an internal hard drive although the test pass that sound is not good. please refer to the following link for help with the replacement:
Find detailed answers to your support questions for your Western Digital, SanDisk, WD_BLACK, or WD storage product.

I hoped maybe this noise could be normal because there are no other signs of failing, perhaps due drive feature I don’t know.
But indeed I also considered that this is no normal noise and I don’t want to risk a data loss in the future.
I will follow your advice and get a RMA.
Thank you for your help.
