Every few minutes I can hear a mechanical sounding click coming from my computer. It only happens once at any given time and sounds sort robotic. I can't pinpoint where the sound is coming from because its so fast. Should I be worried? My PC seems to be working fine and I only just started hearing the sound recently.

Edit: It sounds very similar to a camera shutter.
 
Solution
Clicking is usually the hard drive or a fan. If you can determine it is coming from the HDD, I would immediately back up my data and replace it. The clicking usually signifies impending failure.

I thought this was a possibility, but I looked up some videos of hard drive failures and the sounds they make and the noise im hearing sounds completely different.
