do you hear your hard drive churning away during shutdown?

What exactly does it mean when a hard drive makes a lot of noise? My old computer - WIN98 - sounds like it is grinding when booting up, and even during the course of the day - nothing new, it has always been really loud so I am not concerned. I actually had a tech support person working with me once on an issue and he couldn't believe how loud it was - he could hear it on his end!
