Having looked over the layout I can't think what would be making that noise.
If you disable all sounds in Windows - are you still getting that sound?
That would suggest it's coming from the speakers and it's not mechanical issue with the laptop.

I am not locked out it happens about 60 % of the time when logging into computer. How do I go about removing the hard disc drive?
