Hello, yesterday i put my  PC in sleep mode and when i woke it back up it was frozen, the hard disk was dead.
Now i cannot see my hard drive in bios.
It makes this continuous specific sound that I recorded for you guys in case you have any idea what’s the problem.

Yes, not a lot you can do here, replace it if you can.

What could be the problem? Damaged head, damaged plates or both?

If there is absolutely no sound, no matter how soft, then the PCB is most likely faulty. That’s a relatively cheap fix. Otherwise, if you do hear a soft sound, then the drive may have a stiction fault or seized spindle motor.
