First I'd open the computer and stick my ear next to it to verify it's
actually the drive and not a fan or something. If it's the drive, verify
you have a current backup and replace it as soon as possible.
Disk Doctor and Scandisk will both mark off bad sectors if you do a
'thorough' or 'surface' test. But even if this was the case it would only
be another indication the drive needs replacement.
