Default IS this the normal shut down sound a Seagate Barracuda HD makes

I finally received a response back from Seagate. They say the drive has failed (which it hasn't) and they want me to RMA the drives even though they're only a few weeks old (in my possession) but made in June.

It only happens when I shut down Windows. Should I go into the bios and shut down from there, it's not present. However, I had the same harsh sound about 6 years ago with another Seagate connected via a dock.

I have drives that do that. I assume it's simply the heads being parked.
