If create weird sound, it's a good warning sign. You can prepare new hard disk.

There's no fixing whenever HDD starts making abnormal noise. Don't blindly trust SMART or result from whatever diagnostic tool. It's time to transfer stuff to new HDD / SSD

Fast hdd will generate some noise, usually 7200rpm HDD is noisier than 5400rpm hdd such as lappy and portable hdd, if you still can access it means it's still working,
usually "click of death" means it's really dead. just google the keyword and see if the click sound is matching the click of death.

You can't fix unless you could find the exact same brand/model/version of the specific spare-part to replace it.

pc or notebook? if pc, then try another sata power cable. If the problem still persist, u may try that hdd on other pc again, or just simply replace with a new hdd .

When heard sound from HDD, its time to backup all important data. Its an inevitable doom. Anytime the HDD can go KO. Doesn't matter whats the software result are either. What you facing is MECHANICAL problem not SOFTWARE problem, and its normal if software can detect any problem.
SO i suggest backup it now, and get a replacement HDD.
