Same thing happened to me. I thought it was my HD also after a google search and asking around.

What you should have done was leave the pc on as the noise was still there and open it up and listen and find out exactly what was making the noise. When I did that I found it to be my network card and i felt alot better.

Check the manufacturer's website for your HDD's.

I have western digital and they have software for my HDD's that will check the health of the drives.
