With nearly 20 hard drives running in my office 24/7 I feel that any out of the ordinary noises are reason to panic a bit. The last drive failure actually resulted in an ear piercing shreek that made me want to leave the building immediately. But there are so many other ways for them to fail.
Via Gizmodo, these are some audio recordings of different hard drive failures (at the bottom of the page). Each and every one of them sent a shiver up my spine.
They are wav files, so the particularly evil individuals out there could probably think of someone who needs these sounds set up for different actions on their computer.
I am thinking Exclamation, Device Connect, and shutdown as a few choice options.
