I have bougth this hard disk last week because i have no space left on my computer.
And today when my computer is turned on it creates a low frequency sinewave that uses a slow tremolo volume effect.
And it sounds forever. I can't stop it from sounding because it's comming from the motors that drives the hard disk.
No highpass filter can remove it. It's not an audio signal nor a waveform because it creates sounds that are naturally
occuring because it happens because of the cooperation between physics and acoustics including air which makes it
audible and can't be removed with a effects processor because it's pressures in the air that is not 01010101010 audio
cable adpcm waveform codes because it can't be removed within the software realm or hardware dsp modules.
So no good bye to that low frequency sinewave which continuously oscillates in volume up and down throughout the day.
And i can't live with a annoying sound because i can't remove it because i don't have full controll because i have no
authority over it.

So now i am willing to throw it out throughout the window because i can't stand it anymore.

And here is the name of the hard disk:
ST2000DM001-1CH164.

And it's 1,81 TB in size.


And that is really a culprit.

 

actually, it sounds like you have a grounding problem. try to power the hard drive from a different PSU plug. If you are using outboard soundcard - check if the connection between the soundcard and the monitors is via balanced cables.

 

I have blown out all the dust in my computer with my mouth so it should not be my noctua computer fans that makes the noises.

 

or you have a grounding problem (which can happen between different disks or the number of disks), specially if your power supply in your computercase is not properly grounded.

or you're just picking up vibrations from the disk moving.. which can happen if you have a new one you suddenly notice it (different disks, different construction, suddenly something resonates and small vibrations come to life).

normally I'd ask in what you're hearing it and such, but your post is pretty much undecipherable from the way it is written which makes me think I can't help you anyway. ADPCM codes? You know what ADPCM is? It is _nowhere_ to be found in (Semi)pro audio.

 

I think the hard disk is faulty because it's completely new and unused.

 

wow. what? it's like you're just combining words together at random.

two people have already told you that it could be a grounding issue. instead of ignoring them and talking about blowing out your computer with your mouth (huh?), why not test their theory?

 

I can't solve this problem.

 

you even cant use a forum

 

You didn't mention the pitch of which it sounds, are you sure it's a sinewave? Try to listen for any harmonics

 

And you can't even help. :lfor:

 

Lay the hard drive on a soft / padded base.
eg. A folded piece of cloth or small towel.

 

Or have the antec computer box hovering in the air without touching the ground?

 

it may be the power adapter, try to put it directly in to a separate electric tap and see/hear if it continues... or, worst case scenario, it could be your audio box that isnt well isolated and it get the rotation sound of the disk, like when you record a GSM signal

magnets are always tedious

 

My audio box and or sound card outboard gear or not.
It's the sound blaster X-FI sound card that is within the computer.
I had that soundcard before the hard disk change. So i only think the new hard disk makes the low frequency hum.
And not that my power supply has to work harder because of that.

The only thing that was done to my computer was replacing the old 200gb hard disk with a new hard disk with the size of 2tb. And i even removed the dust from the computer.

And nothing else was done.

 

Sample it

Make a cover in paint and art from stolen google images

package it and sell it as

EDM DRONES VOLUME 38

Profit
P.S. Use money earned to buy a new hardrive

 

CHECK Your Power Supply if its on the way out the Door, to much power consumption driven from another disk could be the culprit ! I Don't believe its your HD at all try unplugging few devices such as usb drives ,camera etc.. that draws juice then try again Also yeh the comment on grounding issue is a seeker too

 

you bought a hdd with lfo omg lets give the guy a break its in a bad situation ...from my experience i can tell you that i bought a monitor lately that was making these kind of sinewave sounds till i discovered that the power was not stable ...u could try to power it from another source of your psu, change cables, or its faulty ...do u have an ups?? ...that could be in handy, its expensive but it saves a lot of troubles ...good luck

 

I even have a ilok usb dongle plugged into my computer all the time because i bought a few eastwest play sample libraries a few years ago.

 

Αha!

(What does that have to do with anything?)

Can't you get the disk back or replace it and see if it still happens? And continue from there?

Also, try to update the firmware: http://support.seagate.com/firmware/fts_drive_check_en.html / http://support.seagate.com/kbimg/utils/drivedetect.exe

Is the drive put firmly in place?
