The drive is the only mechanical part of the iPod, and drives that make noise are FUBAR. So yes, unfortunately, my outlook on your iPod is not too optimistic.

Well, drives always make noise. Even when it was new, I remember my old 3G 15GB iPod's hard drive being audible (not too audible, you'd have to hold it close to your ears) when it spun up to fill its read buffer, and then you could hear its drive arms lock with a scratchy click.

But if the noise is fairly loud, like, you can hear it at arm's length, then that's bad.
