I never heard such a noise on my harddisk (Maxtor 6L200M0). You should
check SMART status of your drive, if there are problems on the harddisk
it will surely show up in the SMART attributes or even the SMART log (if
it's in the log, it's time to backup your harddrive and replace it).
P.S. Perhaps the acoustic management is set to loud (check with hdparm
or similar program).
