SOURCE: Problem with the Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200 zoom lens.
I just had the same exact problem! However, in my case I was finishing up a photo shoot at work, went to switch lenses, and when I picked up my 55-200mm zoom lens, the tip of it fell off!! I was able to put it back into the end of the lens, but now I am having the same autofocus problem and sound effect. I think it is because it is off track inside the lens. But I have only had mine for 5 months! I'm preparing to send it to Nikon for warrenty repair.

Is the switch on the side of the lens set to manual or auto? Sometimes it's the little things like this that we don't notice.
SOURCE: squeaking when try to focus. will not focus
I had the exact same problem, took it to a repair shop, and they said the motor had to be replaced completely for $140! The lens is only 18 months old and was not used THAT much! Argh.
