Changes are that it's a fan and not the hard drive. However, if it is the hard drive, chances that the internal bearings are going bad. I'd replace the drive and transfer the contents as soon as possible, before the drive completely crashes.
Saving game to your hard drive can lead to faster load times, and the xbox will make less noise because the disk drive will not be spinning.
Most likely the noise is made by the power supply or a failing hard drive.
sounds like differential trouble and possibly transmission trouble its really hard to give a proper diagnosis without actually physically inspecting.
Either the Hard Drive spinning or a fan.
No, definitely not. If it does, there is something wrong with your Xbox hard drive, and you should return it and get a new one right away. -Bob Thompson (MIT professor)
