    As I'm typing on my laptop right now, I keep hearing this clicking noise. It's been going on for 15 minutes. I got a 1720, and this is the first time I've heard anything like it. I'm only web browsing atm, and just curious as what the hell it could be. It's quite annoying.

    More likely your hard drive.

    It's your hard drive's read/write pin "docking".

    It's normal--but on the annoying side.
