My Vaio laptop hard drive is constantly clicking whilst I am sitting on a
web page which has flash graphics. Is this normal behaviour? If it is,
are there quiet 2.5" drives available that anyone can recommend?

Are you sure it is the hard drive? I get strange noises on such web-pages
and I think they are coming from capacitors on the mainboard or graphics
card.
 
If it has a lot of access, yes. Maybe it just needs
defragged?

Capacitors are silent, though some nearby mainboard or video
card inductors might make a high pitched squealing noise.

Kony,

I use Disckeeper so the drives are always fully defragged.

Dave,

My drive access light is flashing a the same rate as the clicking.
