Sounds like something hitting the fan blade.

 I tried to stop the fan, but the noise was still there.

OK, then it is from the hard drive?

Could be a lot of things, try your psu fan too. If the hard drive isn't your boot drive try unplugging it and put your computer under a load and see what happens.

Try disconnect power to the hard drive to see if you can stop the noise.

If it stop, then the drive is either failing or being defective.

If not, then you might have to look elsewhere.

The sounds only come, when the computer is under heavy load.

It makes sense now. Seems like it is similar to this case.

Okay everybody

 I just opened my pc, flipped the PSU, stopped the fan with a tooth stick, and the sound didn't disappear!

I guess that the sound is coming from something inside the PSU itself.
