Or it could <shudder> be the hard drive. Do you hear the noise all of the
time or when accessing the hard drive?

It might also be the grounding strap. I remember having a Seagate drive that
would occasionally emit a squeal and the tech I was working with at the time
told me that the grounding strap on the hard drive responsible for
discharging static could produce the noise.

You do have back-ups, right? :->
