I have worked with these drives in the past and have noticed that there is 
a small copper contact on the circuit board side of the drive.  This
contact grounds the hard drive motor shaft.  The rattling or squealing
that the drive makes can be suppressed by using a graphite based lubricant
between the contact and the shaft.
