Wd20earx doesn't detect

Hi everyone!
I’m trying to recover data from a old wd20earx 2tb hard drive.
I connected it to a SATA to USB converter, but the drive doesn’t detect in the bios.
I linked below the sound the hard drive makes when starting up, which might indicate what the problem is.

Could anyone identify what the problem is from the sound it makes?

Thank you!
