Clicking sound from Compaq Armada 1120, probably not the hard drive.

Hi, I have a Compaq Armada 1120 from the 90s with Microsoft Windows 95 installed.

It's making a strange clicking noise every now and then. I don't think it's the hard drive, because I can hear it running normally, but I don't know for sure. It also seems to make a similar sound when it's turned off.

Here are the two clicking sounds it makes, you will need to turn the volume up quite a bit as it's very quiet.

Ok, thanks. Is there any way to find out which one it is? Also, is it something that could break the laptop if it's used?
