Noise can come from any "moving part".
Any type of fan -- in the power supply, on the CPU chip, in the case,
on the video card, on the NorthBridge chipset, etc...
I would try to see if you can open "the computer" and see if you
can localize the noise more specifically.
As always, if you have a problem that you think "might be" the hard drive,
I would be very careful to back up or store outside the computer
(or at least on a different physical hard drive) any data I could
NOT afford to use... When a hard drive fails, they sometimes do so
in a way that everything is lost on all their partitions, etc...
