This clicking happens when I update library or when I update specific folder.
It never appears when I play music.
...I didn't even suspect that this clicking could be disabled by software until I used Max2Play app...I noticed one interesting function that disables clicking of HDDs
Strange that you still haven't bothered to say what this "interesting function" is.
To me, lots of clicking sounds from a hard disk drive suggests lots of disk seeks (a mechanical movement to position the disk head on the correct track) which would be natural when the file system is being indexed. Indeed, you mention you only get the noise when you update the library.
I don't see us reverse-engineering Max2Play's disk management system and then rewriting moOde to match it (and I expect the same is true for the developers of the other players you mention).
It looks like you have three choices:
1) change to an SSD so there's no mechanical movement involved, or
2) don't update the library when you have to be in the same room as the disk drive, or
3) change to Max2Play.
