What are the reasons for frequent head parking on a laptop?

Hard drive: Toshiba MQ01ABD100
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Tried disabling APM using the hdparm utility - it doesn't help (specifically in my problem), and it's not really necessary. During the day, a little more than a hundred parking lots ran up, which I think is not so much.
The problem itself is that the heads are often parked during active work, I understand if the hard drive is idle, but parking during active work worries me.
It manifests itself something like this: I’m doing some business on my laptop, a torrent is running in the background or something is just swinging, the hard drive is loudly banging its heads, after which the Load / Unload Cycle Count parameter in the SMART hard drive grows, this does not interfere with work, but this is disturbing.

This is a feature of all modern laptop screws. Settle down already. Better he will park the heads than make scratches on impact.
If annoying - put ssd.

There may be a problem with the power settings. Try to go into the power settings and there find the power of the hard drive and turn off the power off when not using the hard drive. Check.
