problem with oldest tower

I have 3 computer towers at home, one dead( second oldest/my previous computer tower.) A new one ( works fine Windows 7, Intel I5) , and a very old Aopen computer tower, that runs on a intel cpu ( I do not know which one, but I think it is a Intel DX2 cpu) it runs on windows 98, and it still runs.
I am having a problem after I am turning it on after 3 years since the last time I turned it on. Since the first time my dad got this used computer that the office my dad used to work in was throwing it away (around 2000-2004), every time it read its hard drive, or was thinking it made small banging noises. Now the noise is even louder. Does anyone know what the noise is?
 
update to question, the very old computer also has a 1/10 network card only, no usb only parallel ports, and two telephone inputs. It has a floppy disk reader and writer too.
 
If the computer is set to perform a floppy seek on startup, and there is no disk in the drive, that could possibly be described as a "banging" noise.
