Scary and loud clicking sound coming from my Macbook (youtube video)

Hi to everybody,

recently, my macbook pro started to make this weird sound that you can hear in the video (4th second and 18th second). I can live with that, but its getting worse and worse. Dont you know what causes this? Thanks. (i know that i should go to apple store, but i want to know if there is any possibility to fix it on my own - for example replacing hinges?)

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

An evaluation at an Apple store genius bar is FREE. Make an appointment and then you will know exactly what the problem is and what you can do about it.

Ciao.

Something touches the hinges inside.

On the back there are screws: open the back and the hinge is easily accessible: check.

See on iFixit.com for the video and description how to open and close (for example the video of how to replace the disk).
