    this should be fixed but it's obviously hard to identify the problem.

    It's unlikely it will help, but perhaps answering the following
    questions might pin it down:

    What is the purpose of the machine (client, fileserver,...)?
    Which Linux distribution is on the machine?
    Any special/unusual software?
    What was running at the time of the freezes (e.g. untar'ing a kernel
    source or watching a movie)?
    What hardware (e.g. exact motherboard, graphics card,...) is in the
    computer?

Moreover, those sounds do not seem to be related to the problem I reported (I think I hear them once a day on average, and nothing bad happens to the system in that moment, it works flawlessly, while the system freezes happen once a week on average), and if you Google a bit you will see that many users are hearing a similar sort of sound from various notebook HD models. ...
