How does a light make a noise? It's more likely to be your harddrive you can
hear, getting a "thrashing".

the light isn't making the noise. it's the hard drive or some other
mechanical device which exxcludes light bulbs..

As others have already said the noise is probably coming from the hard disk
drive rather than the HDD light. This noise could be the first warning that
it's time to get another hard disk and do a complete software rebuild
(install Windows and all your other software and transfer your data) before
it goes terminally dead. The noise could also be coming from the way in
which it is mounted. I've come cross hard disk drives which are mounted in
such a way to allow a reverberation (it is a spinning object) to be
amplified by the chassis etc. Just tightening a retaining screw a quarter
turn or using a fibrous washer may be all that is necessary.
If you really want to turn off the hard disk light, unplug the computer,
take the top / side panel off and trace the wires from the light to a small
connector on the motherboard and slide the connectors off.
Regards.

Your HDD light is an LED, and *CANNOT* possibly make any noise.
Your HDD is bad, new computer or not.
If you will not accept the answers provided here, why did you bother to ask?
Your HDD will crash at any moment, and you'll find yourself wishing you had
heeded the
advice given to you here.

Perhaps a BadDog and a MadDog telling him that he has a hard drive problem
will shake him up.

I have heard some dumb things in my time, but fixing a noisy hard drive by
unplugging the HDD LED takes the prize, biscuit, cake, whatever.. you get no
cigar either..

15 days old!!??? Simply take it back and demand a new one.....at the very
least, you can let the vendor "listen to your LED."
Heirloom, old and think my USB port is
making noise

Uh.......my hearing isn't that good, but, from the 'delicate bouquet', I
would say it is a rear port.
