What sort of noise? Is it a beep, or something more ominous?

Actually, any sound there is fairly ominous. I don't think GRUB does
beep: the documentation (info grub or pinfo grub) suggests that it tries
to print error messages if there's something wrong.

I suspect that there's something pretty wrong with your hardware. Can
you set your system to boot from floppy, USB, or CD-ROM? If so, can you
try that?
