Noise from the Firewire HardDrive

My Seagate firewire drive is making a barely audible steady click about once every 1-2 seconds. Its getting onto my recordings. Does anyone know what this could be and how to stop it?

Thanks.

I had the same problem except that it was not getting to my recordings and I found that the cause for the noise had to do with the fact that my house had no ground. When I went to other locations with good power it went away. Try testing your power. Hope this helps.

I'll try that. Thanks.

That worked.

However, my outlets do not show lack of ground or a problem in the wiring.

It may be that the problem resolved when I tried it in an outlet not shared with any of my music equipment.
