I've observed these noises and believe it has something to do with the Predictive Failure Analysis that the drive does. According to IBM's web site at: http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/ipl/oem/tech/pfa.htm: "A (sic) periodic intervals, PFA's Generalized Error Measurement (GEM) automatically performs a suite of self-diagnostic tests which measure changes in the disk drive's component characteristics."
