Hi Marcus,
Are you sure the noise is coming off the Harddrive? Does the sound sound like a shredder (a clicking, churnning type of loud noise). If the HD is making this type of noise or any abnormal noise the chances are it is on the way out. I would do a complete backup of your system ASAP. If it is the HD it won't last much longer.
Thanks,
bill
