Very loud as in the fan or the hard drive clicking?
Is this a desktop or laptop?

While hard drives can last many years they do degrade in performance over time and some just suddenly give out. It sounds like it's going out...
I'm going to move these last few posts into the Drives & Removable Media forum so you don't need to start a new topic and so others with more experience with clicking HD's will reply with suggestions. This does not appear to be a malware issue. Edit: Topic moved. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. EF

Well, it shouldn't be making too much noise regardless at idle. Perhaps something is accessing it during the night - virus scan or something? Open the resource manager and take a look. I'd still replace it though if it's really noisy, that usually is a sign of failure.
