Harddrive Humming Noise (Avio) Can't Post

I'm experiencing a humming noise when I turned on my Avio. This does not happen every time. When I turn it off and back on the noise stop.
Thanks

: I'm experiencing a humming noise when I turned on my Avio. This does not happen every time. When I turn it off and back on the noise stop.
Typically such noise is from the vibration of fans or hard drives, which are both constantly spinning during the Avio operation. Sometimes moving the unit slightly will eliminate it. Other things that might help include slightly tightening the screws under the center of the unit (hard drive mounting), blowing out excess dust from the fan vents, removing heavy items from on top of the Avio, or even adding a heavy item on top of it. If the unit is twisted from not being level, that could also cause binding leading to the noise. And finally, in rare cases, there's a little man inside the Avio that doesn't know the words, so he's just in there humming.

Hi,
When I get Hard drive spinning noises, I usually move it slightly or give it a little tap.
