Help on weird noise

[g30hd3]

I'm really sorry if this is not posted in the correct section!

I've just pieces together a new rig for crysis with everything working perfectly fine. However there is one little problem I cannot seem to figure out. Every time the HDD led goes red there is this noise that comes with it... which sounds like a rodent biting its teeth on a sheet of metal... I've not heard this noise since I had my first Pentium system. If i'm to guess I'd say that noise is sync'd with either my cpu or hard drive read/write processes... the question is... How do I get rid of it? I've tried removing the led.. speaker.. and all those front panel wires but still no luck. Anyone know a way or which component makes the noise? Thank you.

Remove the hard drive. I bet that would get rid of the noise.

Sorry but I have no idea of how this actually sounds..

IF the noise is related to your harddrive you could try different ways of mounting it. In my current PC all the harddrives are mounted on rubber feet which does a great job of muting the sound of the harddrives. In my old rig I got a similar result by stringing up the harddrives with nylon rubber string...

Sorry but currently this is the only idea I have on the issue...
