If these things have spinning disks, as opposed to SSD, that's my first thought... disk going bad.  Or maybe a fan?

All DTV HR receivers have spinning hard drives and I believe beginning with the HR44 there is only an emergency fan.

Mine does that also and it’s fairly new. For months I thought I was hearing my neighbors TV or stereo.  It wasn’t until I unplugged everything in my HEC and started plugging each device in one at a time until I identified the DVR box was the culprit.  I repositioned it and it’s much better now. 

I wonder if this thing is going to stop working soon.
