However, if you start hearing noises occasionally or sound that you haven't heard before like clicking, beeping, vibration or grinding, there might be something wrong. Some of you have complained about hard drives are making noises during operations such as connecting to your computers, transferring files, etc. Reportedly, hard drive noise issue often happens on the Seagate external hard drive.
Additionally, hard disk noise can also occur if you are using other brands of external hard drives like HGST, My Passport, Transcend, etc. An internal hard drive could also be beeping sometimes. If your hard drive is making abnormal noises, the next thing to do is to determine if the hard drive is really faulty. If it is, continue reading to follow the instructions below to protect your disk data. When your hard drive is making clicking or beeping noise, you can try the following five ways to troubleshoot this issue.
Just follow the clear instructions below. Sometimes, the Seagate hard drive beeps if its port is dusty. Follow the guide below on how to clear the dust. Step 4: Reconnect the hard drive to the PC via the same cable and check whether the hard drive beeping issue still happens. Sometimes the hard drive clicking or beeping noise disappears when the power cable is plugged in but returns when you attach the data cable to the hard disk.
In this case, perhaps the problem is caused by a damaged data cable. You can try using a different cable to connect your external hard drive to the computer.
After that, see if the beeping or clicking sound is gone. Another cause of your Seagate hard drive beeping may be a faulty port. So try connecting it to a different USB port, then see if hard drive noise is gone afterward. Your Seagate external hard drive might beep when there isn't enough power to support it. Therefore, you can try using a USB Y-cable - a cable with two connectors - to get rid of beeping sound. You should make sure the two connectors are plugged to your computer tightly.
Alternatively, you can use a USB hub to connect your hard drive to your PC instead of connecting it directly. Now see if the hard drive is still making the same beeping noise.

Many of us have mini usb chords and like me, trade them for different peripherals. Well, the Iomega external hard drive I had a problem with came with a pigtail "Y" on the computer side. It needs full power to operate. Whew and I was about to open it up and troubleshoot or make it really broke.
