Right my laptop randomly and sometimes frequently makes a quite horrid high pitched screech sound im not going to say i dont know what it is because i have just had a new hard drive shipped to me because the old one died, the hdd my 6625 came with was a hitachi 7200rpm 120gb, the new hdd i was sent is exactly the same except for it is a Toshiba.
Now i noticed my laptop used to make a quiet chirping type sound almost constantly like there was a cricket in my laptop before my hdd died i didnt think much of it.
I got this new Toshiba and that chirping went away, i though great but now i get this random and quite violent sounding screech and the only thing that is different is the hdd.
I have no idea what this is, should i be worried?

That would account for the 'chirping' sound which are the load/unload cycle sounds.
A violent sounding high pitched screech sounds worse though and would certainly make me worried.
Are you sure these aren't BIOS beep codes?; link. (I hope not...).
I'd contact Zepto about it anyway.
Good luck. -
from wich part of the laptop does it come (when its open). the HDD is in the bottom right corner.

Its not BIOS beep codes, its like a screech that lasts for a second or less it seems completely random however im not sure. Sometimes it wont happen at all while i am using my laptop for a 4 hours session maybe and others it happens more frequent. I cant quite tell where it is coming from, except for it seems like the right hand side when my laptop is open, its hard to tell as i cant make it do it myself.
I'll give zepto a ring, just thought it may be something normal...i guess not. -
Screeches and beeps are never normal cept if you produce it yourself or the ticking of the hdd
