It sounds like a relay closing or opening, but is really my drive
head doing an emergency retract/park?
Most(?) disks' heads are spring-/power-based so that whenever
they lose power, the spring retracts the head back to the park zone.
Whether it is the disk head or something else.. take out the disk,
and retry. Might not be that easy with laptops, though.

It is definitely the disk drive. It is located in the right front corner
of my laptop so I put my ear
by it during shutdown and that is where the click is coming from. As I
said before I had this same
drive in another laptop that was strictly ide so it used the older ide
driver and it never did this.
