Does this sound like a dying hard drive?

So I bought a used IMac on eBay and it's working great except the hard drive makes this weird noise that's noticeable. Here it is.

You can mostly hear it at the 10 and 23 second mark and I don't know if this is normal or a sign of a dying hard drive. Please let me know as I'm really stressing about. Thank you.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), Mid 2011, i5 3.1, 16 gigs, 1 6970
