Hi there!
I am running a laptop with a SATA hdd an Arch installed on it. Nearly evertime I shut down the system there is this noise. I already found a bugreport on the ubuntu launchpad, i hope that archlinux devs will take care about that too.

How can noise be silent?

yes, I also meet with this problem, it is said that only some brand of harddisk would suffer this, can anyone help?

I do have the same problem here with my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop (Core duo, 120Gb harddisk)
Kernel 2.6.20.6-ck
@lionlee;
I have read the topic IsSue mentioned, and found this workaround, but did not test it already;
In your rc.local.shutdown add:
for disk in /sys/class/scsi_disk/* ; do
echo 1 > $disk/stop_on_shutdown
done

I'm having the same problem here with my Acer Aspire 5053WXMi (AMD Turion 64x2, SATA 80GB).
I'm using the stock kernel.

Oh by the way, I've found this
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=27592
In that thread, someone mentions that that's supposedly "perfectly normal"... I personally prefer a workaround the "click issue".

Hm, when I add the code Lontronics posted to my rc.local.shutdown I get the message "error in rc.local.shutdown - /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:0/stop_on_shutdown: Permission denied".
When I try the stuff lionlee posted (at least what I understand of it ), the system just halts with the message "System halted." without shutting down. Could you give a translation of the important part, lionlee? Maybe I missed something ...

Replace the line in rc.shutdown
/sbin/poweroff -d -f -h -i
with these three lines
/sbin/halt -d -h -i
sleep 8
/sbin/poweroff -f
If the things not being better, try to increase the number of seconds to sleep.
However I don't think it is an ideal solution though, since an upgrade of initscripts will overwrite the changes.

That is exactly what I did -- and as I said, the system halts without shutting down, so I have to press the power button of my notebook several seconds to shut it down. But then it shuts down without the click, which is kind of a workaround I guess ...

Thanks for the workaround!

I'm having the same problem.
Relpacing the line as henryouly stated change the behaviour of shutdown a litle bit. At the end of shutdown, I get a new string (Power halted or something similar...) but the laptop doesn't poweroff. I need to manually power-it off.
I found a bug on the kernel's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7838
That patch add the files Lontronics is talking about (/sys/class/scsi_disk/*/stop_on_shutdown)
The patch submited should be included in 2.6.22-rc1. In the meantime, I could be nice to have it in arch... I'm patching it write now to test. I will report back.
EDIT: It does work!
1) Patch the kernel with http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7838
2) Put :
for disk in /sys/class/scsi_disk/* ; do
echo 1 > $disk/stop_on_shutdown
done
in /etc/rc.local.shutdown

Someone on the original forum also reported the similar problem with this modification. And I even wondered if the lines pending to "halt" command can guarantee to be executed. But incredibly, the work around did poweroff my laptop automatically.
And I agree the kernel patching is the best way of doing so.

It didn't executed on mine. After "/sbin/halt -d -h -i" nothing was executed.
The only way I got it working was with the patch.
