Drives always will seek in use, but I understand you want the noise back.
You could always listen to a recording of it, but you could also put something like a WD400 (the largest drives I own that still make the noise loud enough to be heard) and throw it in a modern computer and put some games or large files on it.
You could also get a SCSI adapter and put 14 drives on the chain and goof around with those, but the bearing noise is ridiculous.
Pre-2004 I've found, mostly lower capacity.
Activity LED to visually check, and splice an 8 ohm speaker to it and listen to the ticks when the LED comes on and off.

Can't put an MFM drive in a modern computer, all the MFM and RLL controllers I've seen are ISA (be it 8 or 16 bit) or EISA in one case.

Connect amplifier to activity indicator's pins.

Still got the 3.5 on the front of my PC... Ever put Windows 10 on a computer with a 5.25 drive? Always fun.
EGA should work.
I know, Parallel is much faster than Serial data transfers.
I know! He doesn't even have B:!
