That sounds kind of like Mac App Store checking for updates - it does that, in OS versions where the Recovery partition exists (and probably where the Mac App Store also handles OS X updates). I think I've seen Parallels do that too, when starting a VM. If you have Parallels set up to run Windows from the Boot Camp partition, it will also unmount that before starting the VM, and remount it in a different way while the VM is running, and reverse that when the VM is shut down. And Chrome (and probably others) that check for updates themselves will download and mount a .dmg file containing the updates, and unmount it and clean up when they're done.
All these mounts and unmounts were happening already - HardwareGrowler is just letting you know they're happening. All I have found about Mac App Store update check frequency suggests that the default is once every seven days, and past Lion, no longer has an obvious preference to set it. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/02/23/change-how-often-mac-checks-software-updates/ provides some more detail; but it shows the granularity in whole days, not something shorter. So it does seem strange to me why it should be checking hourly. Could that be a retry interval if it fails? That is, have you tried running the App Store app on them by hand to see what happens, and attempt to install any pending updates?
