Are the bizarre noises a sort of clicking sound? If it's clicking in a way then you're right. If not, some HDDs have a drop feature to secure itself, only makes loading things out of it slower.

Don't listen to him verb, its time to upgrade to SSD anyway, and I can assure you that HDD is on its last leg if its making any sort of abnormal noise, especially coupled with slow load times. You may want to invest in a new fan too if your HDD has become, in any way, damaged.
I'm not advocating for HDDs, I fully support SSDs over HDDs, but there are some HDDs out there that'll make a weird drop noise when securing itself. Although they're more usually found in Laptops, my 2011 Toshiba has this feature.

no idea what happened to it
As stated before in this thread, HDDs are incredibly unreliable; At least, in comparison to SSDs. Yeah SSDs are significantly more expensive (at least, large capacity ones are) but that extra money is more of an investment than just buying a replacement. The funny thing is, my Samsung SSD says they have a 1000 year guarantee, I wonder who's gonna be around to test that claim.
i've had this thing for 3 years too, so maybe that has something to do with it
