My PC is making sounds (Windows XP)

There are 2 type of sound that Hard Disk Drives will make. There is a difference from my experience. If you are familiar with the internal connections, some casing comes with internal speakers that produce beeping sound when start up. Most connectors from the motherboard to this speak includes harddisk drive (HDD). The sound is usually sync with the HDD led indication of the front panel which is unusally identified by a cylinder icon near the power LED. Some casing manufacturer use red LED for the HDD and green for power. This kind of sound is annoying but tells the user that the HDD is busy in storing and retrieving data. The sound alternates in a faster rate. The other sound does not come from the physical drive sounds more like a jammed tape similar to jerking...This is a bad sign for the harddisk and prone to failure. I suggest that you back up your files and conduct an analysis using the tools provided by your HDD manufacturer. All the best ya...

looks like your hard disk is going to reach the end of it's life. make sure you back up all your data so that you won't regret it later.

So is my computer! It is like some people's voice. Suddenly, I can hear that "Oh my god, yaowei!" I don't even know where the sounds come from!

i had a similar problem of noises coming from the pc. i checked my hard disk connections but it still gave the noise. then i found that my cooling fan was making the sound as the connection wires of SMPS were getting in touch with the fan. so i had to keep the wires away from the fan. check your wires in the CPU also. happy mylotting!!!

reinstall the XP or change the PC

Pc make sound,maybe generated by the cooling fan.

Mine is doing the same noise, but i am used to it. I didn't do anything and it is still working fine...

try checking your cable, whether it is connected properly to harddisk or not. If it continues pls take it to the service center.

Treat the disk as if it may fail at any time. This means the contents should be backed up, and no new re. Keep a careful eye on the drive. Contact the manufacturer's technical support department. You may be told not to worry about this sympton. I suppose its possible that some hard disks are supposed to make these sorts of noises, but I won't use any that do. (Note that some drives do make an audible "clunk"but only when the PC is booting up). If the drive is new or under warranty, you may be able to get a replacement.
