Hard drive failure would be my guess.

They click around when dying.

Freezing could be because it reaches a part it cannot read anymore, so it halts.

That would suck.

If any of that sounds familar.. might as well back up your hard drive and get a new one.

I'd also clean out the inside of your computer. Dust does build up in there and can cause issues as well.

Yeah but if you can recreate this, open the case and look for the source of the sound first.

If it is only when you start/shut down /suspend  then this is the noise when the disks in the hdd stop/start spinning (saves you electricity/money)

Jup, pretty sure its hard drive. They generally do the clicking sound. Dunno if its failure thou. Mine has been clicking for 2 years now and not even once has it shown signs of breaking.

Maybe back up any important files first

I'd open up the PC and clean it up. Take the pieces apart and get rid of dust, especially behind fans and on heatsinks. Check there are no cables near fans too. You can damage stuff if you do it wrong btw or are unlucky (static etc)

something in fan air cooler ? Sometimes a wire touch the shit and it makes tactactactactactactac..... just remove the wire a little bit further

Maybe your hard drive has energy saving system that causes it to spin down. Mine did this which made the pc stutter every so often. Dunno about the noise though
