Sounds like a bad scratch to the outer edge. Remove the silver inspection sticker on the bottom and look toward the outer edge of the platter with a good light. I bet your gonna find a lot of damage.

When i enter in the udma it give-me N40P SAFE MODE detected

Maybe can be FW, but i hear this disk just have one SA, no backup off the SA.

I have had PCB cause this sound too, but more likely to be bad heads/platter damage.

I'm 99% sure this is head problem and 80% sure of platter damage. No need to swap heads, only platter for this model.
