Hi there,
yesterday I bought one of the new 160GB iPod Classic to replace my old iPod Photo. After loading some music I noticed that the harddrive is really loud and makes disturbing sounds (spinning, clicking and chattering, obviously HD sounds) whenever I switch to the main menu or start playing albums.
Ok, I know that Hard drives do make noises while operating but what disturbs me is the volume. You can hear it even when the iPod is lying on a table one meter away and it is considerably louder than my iMacs working volume for example. In comparison my 4 year old iPod Photo is really silent, I have to put the iPod to my ear to hear the HD sound - the only times I heard a HD sound of this kind is whenever my old iPod froze/the HD crashed and I had to reset it. So whenever my Classic starts to spin its HD I think it's gonna freeze/crash and it freaks me out.
I contacted Amazon (where I bought it) and they told me that HD drive noises are normal and that I should contact Apple.
So, is this normal or a case in which I should try to get a replacement from Apple?
