Resource on web for describing hard disk crash?

Does anyone know of any resources on the web that describe the various
sounds hard drives will make before they start to crash?

Like, I know from experience that when I hear a hard drive occasionally
buzz or give out a momentary high pitched squeal, it means the bearings
are failing and it will probably eventually crash (maybe not soon, but
eventually).

Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks!
