• Hard drives typically make noise unless they are solid state hard drives. Normal hard drive sounds include: Whining noise during drive spin-up Occasional clicks during data access Hard clicks during a head park operation (shutdown or sleep mode) Abnormal drive sounds include: High-pitched whining sound Vibration sounds due to either vibration in the mounting hardware or in rare cases, a drive failure Clicking or clunking sounds that occur repeatedly Grinding sounds I hope this helps.
