You'll need to describe the noise further. Rattle/squeak/click/groan/etc.

well i could describe it as a click, but like a few clicks in a time
 
It's probably just normal seek noise. You can download the AMSET utility
from Maxtor's web site and use it to activate quiet mode. It will slow down
seeks a bit, but I doubt you'll notice any performance loss.

I have the same model drive, but the control board burned out on it.
If anyone has this model drive with a mechanical failure and would
like to let me tinker with the control board from it, please contact
me at (e-mail address removed)
