What Exactly does the "Click Of Death" Sound Like?

I am the happy owner of a 60GXP, however there is always the chance that it will go bad. I've seen this term used many times around the boards and elsewhere but I still don't know what it sounds like. Is it the same volume level as seeks? Is it repetetive? I remember someone mentioning a place on IBM's site where you could download such sounds, however I was unable to find it. Input? As always, thanks.
 
Trust me, once you hear it you will know. It is the worst seeking sound you can possibly imagine. When I was trying to recover data off my dead drive, it sounded like it scratched the disk surface so hard that it made a beep sound just like a pc speaker. Stupid 75GXP only lasted me about 1.5 yrs....
 
Whoa.. you made it 5x as far as most people.. I haven't even had either of my Maxtor drives a year and I consider them to be very reliable.. heh
