didn't sound like a single source at all.  But I guess could have been
mistaken.  I have been really curious about this "beeping" issue since
it is so bizarre.  Anyway like I said only 2 of those original 6 (they
were seagate ST2000DM001) remain.

A quick google search shows the ST2000DM001 (which I have 2 of) *do*
make "chirping" or "beeping" noises. Additionally, it seems there are
firmware updates available. Sadly, I bought two of these drives some
months ago (current firmware: CC26) and so far so good. However,
should I be worried about these drives?

They don't support ERC.  You *must* use a 2-3 minute driver timeout for
these if you use them in a raid array.
