Hi,
i got my new computer with a 4 GB WD Gold (WDC WD4003FRYZ-01F0DB0) and
observe a strange behavior with a provisory Debian 10 LXDE installation.
If the drive has power then i makes a plonking noise every 3 to 5
seconds.
That amount of time looks suspiciously familiar.
Have you tried to disable drive heads parking via hdparm?
What about smartctl long test, does it show anything suspicious?

Does the drive make the same noise when the computer is running other
operating systems, such as Windows?
