Is this a NEW noise from your HDD? If so, the drive is about to fail completely. Get your files and operating system transferred to a new drive ASAP!

If it's really the hard drive, then there's not much you can do about it. They're sealed units and opening one will destroy it.
If what you mean is there's a noise coming from the big box that contains your hard drive as well as the motherboard, CPU, memory etc, then it's probably one of the fans - either the one at the back of the box or the one on top of the CPU. You can try to clean it by blowing the dust off it and lubricating it with a drop of sewing machine oil.
