WD Black loud

I just bought a WD Black AZEX 500GB hard drive. I haven't had any black drives before so I didn't know what to expect, but that thing is LOUD! It's a constant low pitched buzz, even when it's not doing anything, I can tell it's because of the vibrations. If I put my hand on the drive cage, it stops, but I have to push on it to transfer the vibrations to my hand. Even when mounted in a Define R4 with all it's sound deadening, it doesn't help. Is this normal or should I replace it?
