Noisy DVD DriveIs it normal that the DVD drive in a MacBook Pro is very noisy?
When I put a disc in, everyone in my office cringes as the machine fires it up.
It's quite difficult to describe the sound, but it sounds like the reader head moving around (a motor sound) and a couple of clicks. It all works fine, just sounds horrible when inserting and ejecting discs.
Thanks
Mark

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

Had the same problem. Check out this site and listen to sample 1 and 2 next to inserting disc.
