Is it a continuous noise? Does it go up/down depending on what applications you are running? Could be a chassis fan being obstructed by a cable.
Well, it could be from anywhere, my first guess would be the hard drive (but that really is a guess), sometimes they're just noisy, but if you could try and find out where the noise is coming from it would be useful (take the side off the case and see if you can work out where its coming from)

The noise has lasted a maximum of 5 minutes. sometimes it's 2 clunk then it keeps doing it. I just started it up and it made the nosies, so applications shouldn't be a issue. I'll check tomorrow if it's being obstructed
Thank you, I'll do that tomorrow as I've just came in from work and need to do some things

It sounds like it's coming from the harddrive.
It happens when I start games up sometimes, and when I install things.

It's most definitely the hard drive if this is the sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw488C_VN2o&feature=player_detailpage#t=24s
If your hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda then it's normal so i wouldn't worry.

I have a SSD and a caviar black 1 TB
I know my Caviar Black is definitely not quiet, it gets pretty noisy at times - normally loudest when booting up.
The SSD should be virtually silent.
