- wabbiteh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Listen to Head_damage3.wav while thinking of the three stooges, and just *try* not laughing.
- Radian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, straight from "Maxtor's Greatest Hits" album.
- SoulMaster2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3These sounds are just begging to be made into a techno song...
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is it bad that I recognized all of these without looking at the titles?
- outerspaceapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OMG that popping one literally made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I've encountered at least 3 of these before.
you sick bastards. - TheGalacticFork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone else listen very closely to their harddrive when listening to the .wav's, just in case?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't understand. Head_3 made me laugh hilariously, but I don't know why and I don't get the Three Stooges reference to it?
- ThePerchik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have high quality speakers and I got really scared, LOL.
- mookieXL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1cbdgr: http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~ken/crash/ is massive but it's probably not common error. Never seen blue goo going out of drive before. And yea. remix complete: http://mookiesweb.host.sk/files/crashdrive.mp3
- dimplemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow! Like the equivalent of nails scratching on a chalkboard! The look on my face was akin to receiving a suppository. (Yes, I said 'akin'!)
- mistercoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used to get an "extra game of pinball" soundrn
- madjo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope not to hear these sounds from my IBM Deskstar harddrive.
So far it still works - kkaabboomm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1in my years working in IT i have heard all of these noises at one point or another....now i will be going to bed with a sad feeling in my heart
- phobet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can you say..."Shrivel"?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Straight from a nightmare! ouch!
- SuperCujo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, very bad trogdoor.
It means you have spent way too much time indoors. At least skin cancer is the least of your worries :) - h4lofourt33n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Terrible for a hdd, but good enough for some songs I'm working on. Nice. Good reference too in the event of the inevitable.
- airdoo0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0head stuck to platter made me cry. i lost my first computer to that, i opened it up and there was shavings of metal everwhere
- personx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Umm I don't see any sounds on that site at all. Maybe they took them off?
- aussiehuw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg for the pain.
- digitaldivider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dugg because I want to know when I have to sink money into a new hard drive.
- metalfingers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is worse than the scariest horror movie!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that last wav is like the brown noise for nerds...
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This actually made me cringe... no lies...
I feel the pain =( - pmcall221, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My car makes these sounds. I guess it needs a new hard drive.
- nads, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@lukas88, cheers buddy :)
- Tracon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0anyone else getting flash backs?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0T_T
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it was like head damge #3 but a little different
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have never heard those, my REAALLLY old hd in a p1 computer would makea knocking sound.
- oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have never heard any of those noises with a microphone taped to the drive. I'm sure thats exactly what they sound like tho'. The head1.wav turned down, and filtered like a case filters the noise, sounds exactly like what I am used to. That tell tale click, click...........click, click............. is the one for me.
Yes, it is a horrifying sound, and no, I didn't need to hear it to see if thats what it sounded like.......
Cyborg
close,but no cigar - theantidote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Head Failure #1 Sounds like my old iPod
I've experienced many a head failure in my day, luckily they weren't my hard drives so I didn't really care as much. - superal1394, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ahh yes, i remember my first dead hard drive... *spins up.... CLUNK.... spins down.... repeats*
the the head damage 4 made me cringe, if my hard drive made that sound.... - DrEbola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the artistic fadeout on slow spindle motor.
- Mushroonaut, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0***** UGLY!
;-# - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol... sound like space invaders on atari 2600
- MasterDwarf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0number 3 rocks. Thats when you take the drive and just slam it on a counter top hoping you get one more boot.
I couldnt help but laugh when I hear these. - trickmcsneak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it's like one of those old radio shows when you hear a sound and have to guess what's going on
- blubolt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the stooges!!!!! GO MOE HOWARD!!!!!
- personx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry yeah I see them now... it's an early monday morning ;)
- ohcoaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0would any of these drive failures benefit from being put in the freezer? I have a drive with head damage 1 (click of death) that didn't respond to the freezer treatment.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm laughing my ass off and crying at the same time. This has to be one of the funniest posts ever.
- mookieXL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i only had head damage 4 so far. but others sound scary too, especially "phaser noise"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0there are on the bottom...
- EnzanBlues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've used Seagate Barracuda's for the past 6 years I've been in IT and have never had and HD problems, I consider myself lucky.
- jagchamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds are at the bottom - they made me cringe.
- dossy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0These sounds used to haunt my nightmares. Yikes!
Radian: ROFL - we didn't call 'em "Quantum Fireballs" for a reason ... toasty!
personx: Look at the very BOTTOM of the page, below the footer. There's icons/links to the WAV files. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ain't this a bitch?
- neonsocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0These should be fun for april, 1. Thank you Windows startup folder.
- Sippi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have never had a harddrive fail on me before, thank God, but these still made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end!
