I tend to agree with you.
A friend HD died very soon after making clicking noises a that became a
little bit like a ping pong ball between the bat and table.
I think if it is getting worse then it might be wise to act rather than wait
and watch.
Well, I think my ass is covered: a) the system is backed-up regularly to an external Firewire drive via Backup, and b) I've got Apple Care. This last one is the key determinant, I think: if the drive fails Apple Care will replace it, but it won't cover me for a precautionary replacement. So I've probably got to wait until it actually goes.

Tom said recently:I think it is the HD, and it was quite a lot worse this morning, after the coldest night of the winter so far. Now that it's been awake for about 90 minutes or so the clicking has stopped.
Probably a bad sign, I'm thinking....
