Hi There,
It all depends on what type of noise it sounds like, Clicking noise or is more like scratching noise (pitching)
* If it’s clicking noise, than there may be an easy solution to retrieve the data, as it most likely is a lack of power issue:
1- If you’re using a different usb cable, not the original short one that came with it, try the short cable
2- If connected to a usb hub, connect it directly to a usb port ( desktop pc, usb port in the back is preffered )
3- In case of power problem in the drive’s enclosure, you may need to try the power booster cable ( Y cable )
* If it’s scratching noise, than the problem is hard to fix, may not be a usb cable issue, has to be the drive itself :
1- You may need to try another usb cable anyways
2- You will need to send it to a data recovery company to have your data recovered
