Weird sound from the PC

Hello,
about 2 weeks ago I started getting this weird, quiet sound coming from inside of my PC. It's barely unnoticeable and happens only several times a day, but I'm worried it may be my HDD failing.

I managed to record it my leaving my mic near the case for about 15 minutes. I messed around with Audacity to clear out the background noise and it sounds like this:

Can someone help me identify what part it's coming from?
 
You should take the cover off and listen.. Maybe get an idea of where it's coming from. That is a strange sound tho, almost like a bearing squeak.
 
yea, dont ask us, go and listen to your hd. If it is, then replace it, otherwise just a fan or components heating up.
