This is an enterprise drive, likely was part of some RAID config. If so, then maybe you have the other drives, which will allow some more comparison tests between a working drive and the failed one.

Also, do you just want to fix it? Or need data recovery from it? If need data recovery, then it may complex or impossible.

No problem - send it to warranty and get a replacement...

I have attached pictures of the PCB and a recording of the sound its generating. Please let me know if you've heard this one before and if it is something that can be repaired.
