looks like a faulty hard drive. get it RMA'd. let them do the hard work & troubleshooting. but do check it in your friend's PC & also with a different cable before sending it. as it maybe just a small problem.

As u said u brought it just some months ago as per my opinion there is some manufacture defects i mean that its a damaged it makes a weird noise because of stepper motor rotor problem or header having a friction with hdd plate its a hardware problem chkdisk cannot solve it..............
