One way to check which it is, is to reboot the box, and listen for when the sound starts. If it starts right away, then its probably a fan, and not as worrisome. If it takes a couple seconds, then its probably a hard drive, which means your DVR might die soon. Which means you would lose everything you have recorded, so FYI, might want to catch up on anything you have recorded before you have to swap.
