When on, the hard drive in my computer makes a buzzing noise. It's not consistent, sometimes is louder, sometimes quieter and sometimes it can barely be heard, but it has been going on for some time (years). The feeling I have is it's getting worse, or at least more consistent.
It's a secondary drive so isn't running all the time.
The case I have is a Coolermaster CM-690 Dominator Case from 2010 and it has been fine all this time apart from the quick release drive holders. I'm convinced it's these causing the problem as I have had the computer open next to me and when the noise starts I could push the holder a little bit and it would stop and touching it lightly with my finger I could feel the vibration.
I'm fairly certain its not the actual hard drive as the current one was brought less than a year ago to replace the previous drive which also buzzed, turns out the old drive was probably fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix the noise? I would prefer not getting a new case, but I wouldn't rule it out.
