It's pretty hard to describe. I've had harddrive failures before (several years ago). It wasn't quite the click of death, but it sounded like the initial click you get when inserting a floppy -- only more accute.

The "click" I got last night was actually not that clicky at all. It sounded like a raving engine's vroom but without the pops, so I suspect it could be the fan as well. It was loud enough to wake me, though, and it changed pitched halfway. So, like I said, it's hard to describe.

I tried to open up the notebook but without success so far; didn't want to do anything rough. Is there some kind of guide out there for notebook disections?
