The noise you can hear is not a good one, it is a seek error which means the drive is dead, there are companies who can recover the data but it is not cheap.
The hard disk inside it doesn't responds to the controller - hardware failure, the disk has failed.
Nothing can fix that, your unit is truly dead and you need a new one.
The noise and the light may or may not be related. The noise may be the wear indicator on the brake pads touching the rotor (they are supposed to do that when brakes are worn) The abs light triggers off a wheel on the axle end. If you have a bad joint on the axle, it could be noisy and causing the wheel to not have the proper clearance to the abs sensor. You really need to take the wheel and brake assembly off and carefully inspect everything. Make sure all abs sensor wires are undamaged...it doesn't have to be at the same wheel that's chirping.
Is it LESS or MORE than one year old?
If LESS, then it can be replaced, under warranty.
Either the drive is faulty, or the USB-interface is faulty.
There exist "clean-room" data-recovery services;
for a _large_ fee, they disassemble the hard-drive in a "clean-room" environment, fix any problems, and "rescue" whatever files that can be rescued, writing them to a new disk-drive.
You may be able to remove the disk-drive from being inside the case, and try connecting the disk-drive "inside" your computer, to see if it can be detected.
