Default is my seagate barracuda abnormal?

i just got my 80 gig seagate barracuda IV today!
its great except for a weird noise i have never heard from a hard drive.
i havent put anything on it yet... just made sure i could post, but while it did post, it was making these quiet buzzing noizes... much like a small piezio was inside it, it wasnt a grinding noise... it really sounded like a speaker or something being that it was a moderately higher pitched noise.

for all of you that have the same hard drive... does yours do that to? and if so is it just durring boot?


btw its an oem that i got from unityelectronics here: http://store.yahoo.com/unityelectron...2seagbara.html

after listening to it for a while its almos the sound of a pin scratchin some plexy glass, or maybe a mosquito... and it is NOT constant.. just goes in little burst... almost like when the arms are unseated or something... cause it happens every few seconds durring boot.
