I have encountered a very annoying chirping sound. It reduced significantly after running a v scan. Only one v found. it stops every time I run a v scan and then starts after a few mins - intermittently.
It’s difficult to say but seems related to hardware (HDD) and not software… :
Yes I do agree with Tech that this is probably the hard drives
(Mine does the same, but now I’m used to it ) ;D

Thanks. Will have the Dell folks ckeck it out!
Normally I don’t submit “me too” posts, but this may be of help…
I had a “chirping” sound a while back, and thought it was the hard drive too.
In my case however, it wasn’t the hard drive. It turned out to be a dry bearing in the CPU fan. I had it replaced along with the heat sink for $12.50 at a local computer repair shop.
