Is this Normal?

I keep hearing loud noises from my 2 day old WD Raptor. Doesn't happen when I'm not accessing the disk, only when I am, so that leads me to beleive that it's something to do with the moving heads, maybe the motor getting messed up or something. It's just agrivating to spend 200 then have it sound like an old 6 GB HD from 5 years ago churning away. Anyways, is it normal to hear much noise except the whine of the spinning/ maybe a bit of rattling of the case when using a raptor?

Thanks
