Default new seagate hard drive is making terrible high pitched squeal!! help

anyone ever come accross this before?
I have compusa enclosure for using an internal drive as an external drive. I had a maxtor in it, but then the maxtor went on an airplane, and when it came off, it was dead.

As for the seagate, i have it in the external enclosure, and i have formatted it, and it emits a terrible high pitched squeal. It's not incredibly loud, but it is present. The old hard drive didn't do that.
The squeal goes away if i don't do anything with the harddrive for a while, but as soon as i open a file saved upon it, i get that squeal again.

Do you think this is just how this hard drive/enclosure combo will be, or does it sound like i got a bum drive and i could exchange it for one that doesn't do this.

Thanks
