Your hard drive is getting old. Hard drive is a huge cd with in your pc that holds all your data, when the get old they start making sounds. It happens. Replace your hard drive and the sound should go away, also your pc fans might be doing it, but if it sounds really loud its your hard drive.

1.CD is in the tray.
2.Hard rive is overworked or ready to die.
3.Fan is dirty.

If it's none of these obvious one's it's time to heave.

1. Open PC
2. Listen to where the sound is coming from
3. ???
4. Profit!

FWIW, the bearings in a fan(s) are probably going bad. Replace fan(s). Or, your PC could just be loud.

Oh, I'd investigate that. With my last PC I had a sound that sounded like a sick fan and in fact, it was a sick motherboard chipset fan. That little bast*rd was dying and dying fast. Problem was, it was a crappy MB and so finding a fan for it was not easy.

Anyway--I would not ignore sounds like that. If your MB goes you'll be in a for a bad day.
