My hard drive does single clicks every once in a while. Is this considered the click of death

clicking-soundhard drive

I've watched a few youtube videos demonstrating the so called click of death and they all show a hard drive that 'clicks' nonstop. My hard drive will occasionally make a clicking sound, but it happens sporadically and it's usually just one click. Does this indicate imminent failure as well?

No, some HDDs click. This however does not mean that you should not have any backup.
