HDD is the noisiest thing in my system?

Hallo
ive been trying to make my pc quiet.
I have:
a case with NMB30 120mm fans front and back
enermax FMA 431 powersupply (turned right down)
asus a7nx8 m/b
amd 2500 barton
zalman cu CPU cooler with NMB 92mm fan
sapphire 9800 pro ultimate 128 with panaflo L1A 80mm fan on zalman bracket
zalman multi fan controller for cpu, graphics and 120mm case fan control.
westren digital 40gb SE hd
LG dvd player
i have a high pitched sound coming from the case.
i think its from the hdd.
the 92 mm fan does give out a slight click or ticking noise
but the noise that annoys me is kinda whiney yet cycles too...
almost as if something wasnt centred correctly.
i disconnected the HDD and it seemed to go away
so is this an exceptionally noisy hd?
if so - what new SATA one (seeing as i have the capability on the MB) should i get in the UK?
i got it for speed without knowing that it may be noisy
