According to the failure ID you're getting,
Your notebook hard drive is failing or has failed and you need to replace it with new one. This may also be the reason for buzzing sound.

Your notebook is HP ENVY Notebook - m6-p114dx (Touch) (ENERGY STAR)

Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04686890

I understand that you're no longer within warranty,

Any good branded 2.5 inch SATA HDD or solid state drive is good enough

Is there any data to be salvaged from failed hard drive?

You can back up necessary data if you desire:
You can use LiveCD to boot into in this notebook and salvage all the necessary files from failed HDD to external drive:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

Or take out the HDD, use SATA to USB adapter and connect to another working computer, use explorer to copy the files to external drive

Use HP recovery USB to factory reset OS after replacement of HDD.

...You can instead try the below suggestion also,

Follow option 1 here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2376-create-bootable-usb-flash-drive-install-windows-10-a.html

This will allow you create bootable Windows 10 (build 1709) USB using Microsoft windows media creation tool from another working computer

Next disable secure boot from BIOS, plug in the installation USB, change boot order to USB ,then proceed with clean installation of Windows 10

Disable secure boot:

Change boot order to USB: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01443326

Clean install:

Windows will be AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED on installation while connected to internet
