My dell inspiron 1525 keeps making this strange noise :( can anyone help?

So my computer keeps making this noise, it does it ALL the time and its really bugging the crap outta me.

If I could write out the noise it would be like this : dum...... and then after a while it goes da-dum.

Its like... the noise it would make if you plugged somthing in, and then took it out or somthing. But I am not doing anything except typing.

I know this isn't very detailed, i just don't know how to describe it.

can anyone help?

    looks like the hard drive failing If its like a clicking noise , surely the HD is failing! i in my view would positioned the workstation one a superb non static floor open it up , plug it lower back into the mains and initiate it as much as see the place the noise is coming from to rule out something. it ought to easily be some airborne dirt and dirt clogged up in one in all your followers.
