Hi Joe
I had exactly this problem some months ago. It sounded as though the 
hard drive was constantly searching for something. The sound wasn't 
loud, but really irritating. I tried all sorts of things - optimizing 
included, but in the end I found an article in the Apple Knowledge Base 
that suggested using the power reset button (just above the audio 
jack). The procedure was, I think to turn off, remove the battery, 
press in the button for a few seconds then replace the battery and 
restart. It worked perfectly, the noise disappeared and hasn't returned.
