[QUOTE="recon731, post: 788454, member: 45036"] Thank you for the many replies. It is not the Sudden Motion Sensor. I disabled that for a little while to test it, and it still happened. It also happens when the laptop is sitting perfectly still for extended periods of time. I also disabled disksleep for testing purposes. That did not change anything either. It is not the purr of regular read/write. I am currently doing an entire surface scan of the hd, constant reading for the last hour or so, and haven't heard it once. I believe it to be some form of parking the heads, it is just kind of annoying for it to park them some what randomly, but often, when either nothing is going on, or I'm watching a movie. Stupid click, still quite audible during a movie is getting on my nerves. [/QUOTE]
