Is it humming or whining?
If it's humming check the screws, I used to have 2 on mine and it hummed like hell, although putting another 2 in stopped it from humming.
Whining is another thing, if it has done it ever since you bought it but hasn't played up then it's most likely a "non-silent" hard drive. Although, if it was silent to start with then gradually started to whine then the bearings must be wearing out so then you should be able to take it back and get it replaced.
