To go along with Andrew, Vista is a resource hog. The sound is your processor working harder to process the strings and in turn, causes your fan to power up. Fans have several different speeds, and the faster they go, the harder it's working.

time for a new computer at 5 years old. yes it does sound like the hard drive. which you could replace. not that difficult to do. depending on what you have on your computer, getting a new one would probably be better. most places will transfer stuff from your old computer if you need them to.
