One a bit 'noisy' one is updatedb, which updates the locate database. Other
candidates might include logrotate and other stuff in /etc/cron.*
Then there's swap possibly and a ton of other stuff. My very low end PC makes

With 'sudo lsof' you'll get a list of open files.
Maybe someone else is able to give you more detailed information.
