Grinding if its from the hard drive then its failing .
Otherwise you disturbed something on the install . Really only fans that can make a noise .

I've found that some cases seem to amplify the noise from a hard drive. If you can attach some rubber between the case and the drive that may isolate the vibrations and reduce the noise significantly.

Something like these might help:

Why don't you ask the person who installed the hard drive?

If it's constant grinding noise, then it's more likely to be a faulty drive. Ask whoever checked the harddrive to show you the SMART data to prove it's health and to check that they have installed it correcntly.
