Sounds like something my monitor does occasionally. Barring that, it could be your HD's thermal calibration sequence, but the timing doesn't seem right. I've never actually heard an HD do that so I can't say what it should sound like.
I'd suggest opening up the case (if it's not the monitor) to track down the source of the noise. Power supplies sometimes make odd noises, so don't rule anything out.
