Strange sounds when running

[pasha-19]

I am running OPNsense 21.1.2-amd64 on a ProtectLI Vault FW4B.  The startup and reboot sounds are clear.  When the device is running I occasionally (fairly frequently) several times an hour get a scratchy/clicky sound.  Is this probably hardware or software?  If software is there a workaround.  I just got the device and set it up today.  I am a newbie.

If your hard disk is not solid sate it is probably the sound of it dying.

I have also a Protectli Vault FW4B and do not recognize any strange sound.
I cannot share the assumption of franco because the FW4B has only a msata drive.

Maybe your fan or some energy flowing sounds from the storage or power supply

It is a circuit breaker attached to a hair dryer causing (inducing? the) speakers to pop. Sorry for not properly detecting the source of the issue.
