I "hear" what you're saying.
But this is definitely a new noise. Perhaps when DiskWarrior arrives it may shed more light.
Also, as I'm about to reply to jchuzi, it does not sound anywhere near as harsh as any of the (Toshiba) "Hard Drive Sounds", maybe a little similar to "stuck spindle", but again, not as loud.
Would/wouldn't a stuck spindle be exhibiting something more mechanical or obvious than what I'm experiencing and not just when the computer is moved?
Thanks for your advice and I look forward to any further you may have.
Regards. Mike
I forgot to add that it does not sound like any of the other manufacturers' noises either!
