The recordings aren't perfect. You can adjust the tone of the seek actually quite a bit by adjusting the step rate variable of the FDC's Specify command. With only one set of samples, you're not going to hear a difference.

If we say there's 40 possible seeks, in two directions, and 16 different step rate times, that's 1,280 unique samples, just for stepping. You start to wonder if synthesizing a stepper motor might be more reasonable. But I hate programming anything sound related and I don't have the foggiest idea of how i'd synthesize a stepper motor sound.
