An effective and new method of reducing the noise of a HDD by a structural modification of cover was investigated in this study. The correlation between the noise characteristics of the HDD and the vibration characteristics of the cover, which is the main source of the HDD noise, is found from experiments. A theoretical analysis is performed to find the modification method of the cover, and this modification method is applied to the real cover of the HDD. The modification reduces the vibration of the cover transferred from driving motor. The effect of the modification is verified through noise tests.
