My PS3 makes grinding noises when it sometimes loads a game but never a clicking noise.

hmm, could be the hard drive...Sirilius

aye could be. though hearing it also from a HD telly? hmm. ure telly is not a CRT by any chance, is it? CRTs click when they change resolution.

its also unlikely that the HDD in both his PS3 and 360 are on the way out.

still keep an eye on it and back up data on ure PS3 if u have some. could be nothing, could be a HDD going to meet its maker. no idea why ure telly would click really.

If your close enough or you have some really really good hearing what you may be hearing is thremal expansion/retraction. Just a thought.

It's the hard drive activity. you usually hear it most when you turn the PS3 on.

You guys need to check your system out. My PS3 is whisper quiet. My 360 on the other hand, sound like a 747 on take off.
