WD Scorpio Blue 500GB noisier than stock Toshiba 250GB, why?

So I bought a new WD, did a 1:1 backup with a Carbon Copy Cloner, put it in my 2010 MBP13.

It runs faster, but is also noisier. With this I mean the operating noise, not clicks or anything like that. I'm 100% sure I fastened every screw tightly. And before anyone asks: Yes, I also moved the torx screws from the original drive to the WD.

I thought it shouldn't be louder?

It shouldn't be much louder, if at all, especially since it is the same speed. My scorpio black is barely louder than my stock Fujitsu drive, so you may have gotten an unusually loud drive.

Yeah, guess so :/.

Couldn't hurt to reseat the hard drive... maybe you snagged something you shouldn't have.

Seated correctly, checked twice. WD is also noisier when put in the docking station.

Is it possible that if I re-format it and do another 1:1 copy with a different sw (SuperDuper for example), it will be better?
