My Hard Drive is making noises

Hi. My HDD is making irritating noises in every minutes.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5AmfEjdYOA&feature=youtu.be

You can hear it at 0:20

Do you have any idea what could it be?

Sounds like its internal discs catching something. Time for replacement before loss of data!

Maybe I missheard the place where it's coming from and it's my dvd player.

Disconnect the DVD and see if it still happens.

Yes. I disconnected it and the noise is gone. I think I'm just gonna leave it that way, cause I'm not using it anyways.

This is not a HDD platter noise, probably your DVD have broken gear or a disk broken inside, You can check this by dismantling your DVD, same video how to perform this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfbMmoojFkA, remember this could be happen in any moving parts of computer. So check also the other moving parts, like airblock

Oh no. DVD player is disconnected and it's still doing the sound, but not that often. I hear it from the hdd, but it's not that bad now.

If the DVD is disconnected, then it's not the DVD.
Is there anything else it might be? A piece of paper, rolled up and held to your ear, might help localize the source.

I disconnected the HDD and now I'm waiting if I will hear anything. I will wait for 30 minutes.

btw when I first started to hear these sounds was when I got my SSD. But it's not the SSD cause the sound is not near to it.

Now I'm 100% sure it's the HDD, because it's been 20 minutes and nothing happened. I first heard the sound 1 year ago when I changed my motherboard, CPU and bought a new SSD. It was annoying first but a few days later it was not that often and I could hear it in every 1 hours. But today it started to do it more often again. When I had my old computer without the SSD and the new CPU, Motherboard there was no annoying sound.

Observe and check all the moving parts, especially the cooler if either airblock or water cooler. Even the PSU exhaust fan, and the electronic parts like the diode and caps. That water cooler could be the suspect also because there are parts inside that causes also annoying sounds if it will failed.
