Sounds like your HDD is noisy? It's hard to tell but it could be an AC actuator failing/attempting to drive. Can't think of any other moving parts behind there. I hope for your sake it is the actuator - you might be able to test them by checking the operation of all the vents.
Nice to see another RHD GS here
