Solved What does this noise from my HDD mean?

If you want to try this way to see if you can resurrect the HDD.. This has a 50/50 chance of working.. Take the HDD in a freezer bag (get all the air out as possible) and place it on a towel inside a freezer,it has to be a deep freeze kind. Leave it there for 3 days. Have your setup ready and is best if you use it as an externally drive hook up. I would suggest you have a fan blowing on it to help dry the condensation and have a towel for that as well. Give the HHD time to loosen up a bit about 10 minutes and then try to power up the HDD connected to another pc. I have done this on a HDD that wouldn't start and it worked and got the files and data i wanted off of it. Still works btw,but i would not trust it for anything of major importance.
