    I noticed that when I set the HDD Acoustic level to Performance (Bypass by default), I would, on occasion here some sort of clicking sound on my Vostro 1500 on the left side of the laptop.

    But when I use NHC and set the acoustic to loud (254) and max performance, the sound goes away. I was just wondering if it would be possible to make any other fixes besides using the NHC program to stop all clicking?
