Hard drive clicks

[jaxst]

Just got a refurbished laptop, hard drive makes clicking noise when being used, ran test with different programs, all test rated the hard drive good... what could be the problem?

2100 hours on it, its a light clicking when i read and write, not all the time, it's quiet for the most part, but i can definitely hear it it is a HGST 7200 RPM '

any help appreciated

That is very likely a dying drive. It happens.

well this sucks, i've been out of a laptop for 5 weeks now, the first had a screen problem, now this one a hard drive problem, sigh..

well after reading more and listening to sound clips between failing hard drives and normal hard drive noises, it just sounds like activity noise, it's not really a click but of a static kind of noise, i looked up the same model and looked at reviews, people complain about the noise but it isn't something to worry about, i checked for bad sectors and all of them came up good
