Hello,
Thanks for providing a great description of your drive and sounds. It sounds like your drive is suffering from the dreaded click of death. This happens for a few reasons the most common of which is a head failure. This would seem most likely as heads can easily crash if the drive is bumped or dropped while running.
To fix this issue you will require a professional lab with a clean room to open the drive and transplant a new head assembly into the device. This procedure generally runs anywhere from $1200-$1500 depending on the model of hard drive inside the LaCie enclosure.
I am a data recovery technician and can recommend a lab near you if you decide the data on the drive is worth the cost of recovery, if not I would simply recommend purchasing a new drive and always keeping your data on a minimum of 2 places/drives preferably 3 places so failures like this never cost you more than the price of a new drive.
If you decide to attempt a recovery, simply reply to this answer with your lacie model information and location(Country, State, City) and I will refer you to a nearby facility with a clean room.
Hope this helps FixYa,
Chris
