Is it like a sort of "clicking" sound?
If so, then this is "normal" - I have an IBM Deskstar 60GB (2 years old and counting!) and apparently it's due to the glass disks heating up then expanding.
When this happens, the head will write the data to the wrong place and the click is when is goes back to write the data again.
