I have a Western Digital WD40EZAZ 4TB hard drive...

I have a Western Digital WD40EZAZ 4TB hard drive that has started making repetitive clicking/ticking sounds. The drive is still detected in BIOS, but it is not accessible in the operating system. I have important data on this drive that I need to recover. I have heard about the "freezing trick" where you place the hard drive in a freezer for several hours to temporarily contract the components and potentially allow data recovery. My question is: Is freezing the WD40EZAZ drive a viable last resort option to attempt data recovery at home, or is professional clean-room recovery the only safe option to avoid further damage and data loss? What are the risks of attempting the freezing method on this specific drive model, and would it potentially make the situation worse?
