You can buy a HDD today and have it bad tomorrow. There is no set time, but if the noise sounds like a click and with a clonk, then it's probably the HDD. In that case if you still want to continue using this PC (but my recommendation is replace it) then get another HDD, make it a slave and image the existing HDD to the slave.
