sound distorts

every sense this morning the sound has been distorting on my pc. Its not to bad on mp3s but my games sound pathetic. Its sounds almost like a cd player with no anti shock when shaken. Another thing, you wouldn't happen to know why my hard drive makes so much noise, not really loud noise but it sure is annoying? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

My advice is go to housecalls & run the free online virus scanner.
