noisy hard drive?

[jesse@spine.com (jesse montrose)]

Yikes, had a long night for the thinkpad last night, was running it until
5am.. turned it on this afternoon, and the drive is exceptionally noisy..
not the drive accessing noise, but just a constant noise while it's spinning..

Is this common?  Do I need to have IBM fix it?

Much thanks..
