He indicated it is an Hitachi 500GB. Most likely the noise is from head movement. The longer the movement the louder the noise and if the disk is fragmented (especially the large files - I am presuming they are quite large in the order of 100's of MB) then there will most likely be quite a large amount of movement of the heads. So, depending upon the overall acoustic properties of the drive it is really quite conceivable that what would happen is exactly what he is describing. Has the disk been defragged? If, after defragging does the noise characteristics change?
