Is my HDD dying?

[Torchi12]

I've had this HDD for a while, 1-3 yeard, I'd say.
I recently got a new computer and I noticed
(it may of been there before, I'm not sure, but I noticed it after I got a new computer)
that it would make a lot of noise when it has to read a lot, say, I open a folder with 30 images or I go to d:/ and search for something.

I recorded how it sounds:
When it reads a lot (for example a folder with lots of images):

This only happends when it has to read *a lot*, like when I go to D:/ and search the whole thing for a or b.
Not when I open a folder with 4 files, or even 30 images(if I have opened it before)

The clicking:

The HDD is a Seagate. Barracuda 7200.10

I downloaded Seagate tools for Windows and ran the following tests

* Fix all long
* S.M.A.R.T check
* Short drive self test

all of which passed.

I ran the last test aswell; generic long.
Still nothing.

Anyone who can help me?
This surely isn't a perfectly fine HDD noises?

What are the noises..?
The head-thing?

You mentioned that you heard a clicking sound.
Any noisy clicking sounds are NOT a good sign and usually mean that a HDD is dying.

Could you put those sounds on the youtube rather then having us download anything?

If you have any important data on that HDD,back it up IMMEDIATELY!

I cant upload them to youtube, youtube wants video files.
They're audio files, .m4a, why are you afraid of downloading it
