Just got the 800D today, but had the TV on most of the day, now the TV's off and it's past 1:00 and all is quiet.

I'de heard a weird noise, first i thought it was the dog trying to be sick (That kind of empty stomached noise they make)

Anyways, looked, and the dogs sound asleep... So back to the forums, typing away, and i heard it again... Kind of like, a hollow punching noise, as if someone has been punched in the stomach lightly, So i'm looking out the windows to identify it.. then i hear it again... And it's coming from my harddrive. the head moving across the disk is normally pretty quiet, but the obsidian is amplifying it, anyone else had this problem? or have any ideas on how to stop it? I don't fancy putting the drive in the bottom of the case in the fixed units, i kinda like the fact that theys only one power cable going to the satas, that would mean adding another sata power connector to my PSU which are quite lengthy cables unfortunatly :(
 
Yes noticed it on mine from the storae drives.

You can get rubber sets that dampen the vibration that is transmitted. Never used myself but should help.
