Hard drive Making Buzzing noise

[chris36202]

My hard drive has been making noises similar to https://clyp.it/1mpwxk5j it's like a low pitched buzzing noise like in that audio clip, I'm just wondering if my drive is dying or not
The info for the drive "including the smart status" is here https://termbin.com/dhge
It doesn't make the sound in windows. but in linux it does make it
Thanks -Chris

Edit: I unplugged my laptop and it started making this noise https://vocaroo.com/i/s0tjwbUkrTtx

I am on linux, and i did a short smart test and it said this

chris@Linuxtop ~ $ sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-38-generic] (local build)

Looks good but I would like to run some more test download hiren boot CD

Alright Here's the full log of the smart test. This time i did an Extended Offline Test

Everything looks good did you run any test using hiren boot CD.?
What is the current temperature of the computer?

Did you clean any fans in the computer before?

[chris36202]

Actually it doesn't look good. On the bottom of the log it said
"SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 40% 1783 623199216 "
I ran that thru parted magic which you can tell by the kernel "i686-linux-3.5.6-pmagic"
The fans are clean on this laptop and the temperatures run at about 49C

Good eye good chris36202 sorry I should have taken my time to look through the log
just got home from the supermarket

also, the read element of the test failed
I would start backing up your data on the hard drive

[chris36202]

Way Ahead of you . replacing the drive with another one and i also have my "important" data stored on another drive.. So i'm fine for now
Thanks Compton

Funny thing about it is the date code on the drive is from Dec 2014

Glad you got everything sorted I am happy that you backup your important data
keep it up not too many people backup their data
