I hear the same strange noise on poweroff (2.6.20 vanilla). This is what I
get on my system with ATA_DEBUG and ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG both defined. The
system will *not* poweroff with "halt -f" so there was no noise!

System halted.
If I do a sysrq-o right after this, the above message repeate once more and
the system turns off w/o the disturbing noise.
For the next messages, I booted the system completely (no init=/bin/sh) and
did a "poweroff" at the console prompt after the boot was completed. This
time the noise was there.
From these traces you can clearly see that no STANDBY IMMEDIATE
(command code 0xE0) was issued before the power-off, which is what would
prevent this problem.
If you wait long enough after halting before you power down, you may not
get the noise, since many laptop drives unload the heads after a fairly
short period of inactivity, and so the heads are already unloaded when
the power is shut off.
