    Try downloading the professional version of HD Tune. You can set the AAM value. Post back here to tell if it made any difference.

    If after that HDD still producing a clicking noise what I recommend is to contact sony support (888-476-6972) to get your hdd replace. you're hdd will not last long there will be a point that it will stop working any more.
