Dec 3, 2018 at 22:42 comment added Acccumulation If the HD were wobbling, I would expect there to be a rather conspicuous symptom of, at best, files being corrupted, and at worst your computer going boom.

Dec 3, 2018 at 11:38 comment added Baldrickk @kasperd loading a live disk off USB should be enough to have the PC running with no disk access - or even just enter the bios - though if it's only evident at higher fan RPMs it might not cause enough heating to produce the issue. a OS will allow the CPU (and thus fans) to be stressed. The HDD can also then be mounted and accessed, to see if that causes the sounds to begin.
Dec 3, 2018 at 9:43 comment added DevSolar Generally speaking, if your hard disk drive is making loud noises it hadn't made before, it's in the last stages of dying, and you'll notice other effects than just the noise (like, the laptop not booting). ;-)
Dec 2, 2018 at 22:39 comment added kasperd Is it possible for you to disconnect the harddisk and power on the machine without the disk?
