Install CrystalDiskInfo and see if it says your drive is any other status other than Good.

Now beeping is weird. In the 20 to 30 years I have used hard drives I have never ever heard one beep. Click, chirp, motor stop start are common but not beeps. Is this an external drive?
 
no internal for my laptop.

is that program okay to use over long periods of time or just a trial?
 
As odd as it sounds, HDs can beep.
I got a few seagates that beep on shutdown.
Seagate claims it isn't a issue.
 
On a laptop at work I have dual Momentus XL drives. These make a strange noise when spinning back up. Probably when unparking the heads. However I would not call it a beep.
