Weird Grinding Noises From My Seagate Disk Drive

I bought one of these Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB hybrid drives last November, because I needed more disk space.  It has worked very well.  But I have been getting a weird noise that isn't quite the grinding noise of metal on metal, but it is continuous for several days.  The Seagate SeaTools for Windows diagnostic program says that the drive is working just perfectly -- but I find myself wondering if there is some virus working the drive.  Even with all programs closed, it does this.

I turned off automatic indexing.  No change.  I did a defragment.  No change.  I heard this behavior one before, and it was indeed a virus, probably trying to turn my computer into an international porn distribution network or something equally dangerous.  But AVG 2013 finds no virus.  SpyBot S&D finds nothing.  MalwareBytes finds nothing.  Any suggestions what to try next?
