    How loud is you harddrive? I have my Lapcooler3, ps2, and the laptop's fan itself all turned on beside me and I can still hear it.

    ticking can also mean the read and write head is crashing on the disks. This just start happening recently?

    I already had that problem two weeks ago when I first got my MX7515, the sound is getting annoying so I want to know if this is my HD problem or happening to many people as well.
