  mine always produces zieng zieng zieng... when the surrounding is real silent...
  
  don't know what is wrong. It should be normal harddisk sound. Do you notice yours?

  Your hdd is telling you:
  
  "I'm running."
  "I'm running hard."
  "I'm going to stop running one day."

  sometimes it may also be the internal fan turning on when it's getting hot inside...

  If it's a high soft whining sound, it a sign of spindle motor wear.
  
  It should only be heard lightly, like some rapid small tapping sound when you click to open a file or program, or when transfering data.
  Read Write Chatter.
  
  If there is constant whining motor sound, it's a potential failure coming.
