yesterday out of no where i began to hear what sounds like something constantly spinning under my AL 15" keyboard. I know it is not the fan because the sound was completely different. When i put the PB to sleep i can definately hear what ever is causing the noise "spin down". the noise is quite loud and at a very annoying frequency. After i wake it from sleep it is fine for a few hours. the sound eventually comes back and stays on until i put it back to sleep or power it off. i am not doing any hardrive intensive task either, in fact the only things open are mail and ichat. any ideas of what it could be?

It's probably your hard drive.
