Hard Drive Making Noise?

I noticed my hard drive been making noise, it sounds like a thin buzzing noise but high pitched, like mosquitoes in a way, I thought I might of heard a bang but sure if it was the hard drive. Does that sound like the hard drive is going to die soon ?

    Never good when hard drives make noise - I would buy an external drive (50-100$) - attach it and clone your hard drive - then keep using old hard drive

    if/when it fails - you can buy a new hard drive (50-100$) and install your cloned disk from the external drive
