Is this a laptop? I guess it is.
The firmware in your harddisk is parking it's head and you hear it click (or maybe it clicks when it is waking up).
You can set the APM level for the disk with hdparm or smartctl
try to get the current value like that
# smartctl -g apm /dev/sda
or with
# hdparm -I /dev/sda
it is probably at 128 or lower
set it to a higher value
192 or even 254, this is hard disk vendor dependent, unfortunately.
google for load cycle count and you will find plenty results.
This seems to be a problem with a lot of disks.
