Do you have any sources to back what you're saying??

I always wondered what is it that manufacturers do to dead hard drives to convert them into refurbished ones.

And how long ago did that happen?

My harddrive has never made funny noises. Well...

If I go to www.runescape.com, then the processor/harddrive/etc (one of them :P) starts to beep.  And it won't stop until I logg off and on again...
And that beeping noice is really loud... Maybe it doesn't like runescape?

If you're talking to me, yes maybe, but why only when I'm at runescape... :S Anyways, I'm not there anymore, so..
