Why is my external hard drive making this weird noise & not showing up
Why does my external hard drive keep making this weird noise when it is plugged in either my laptop or PC, both are Windows.
It was working the other day now it won't
Please help.
Update (05/20/2019)
I have a recording of the noise if that would be better
Is dit een goede vraag?

You say "It was working the other day now it won't". Did you drop it?
I'm not entirely clear if your external drive still shows up in Windows, inspite of the noise.
If it does and files show up copy the important files from it immediately.

Drive mosty likely physically damaged. But there is always the possibilty that an application like "Spinrite" by Steve Gibson might recover it.
