Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

I only use my external CD player for loading music onto my mass storage device, so I have no experience on the noise level watching a movie. it is not quiet when reading a music CD.

Not exactly sure where the noise would be coming from. I've had mine for around 2 years and have had no problems. I know a lot about computers. I would check your modem. It may be going bad, and that's what is causing the noise.

No I have not noticed any strange noise in mine. Sounds like yours is defective.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

The drive is very quiet. I haven't had any issues with noise from my drive.

I can hear the Hard Drive running. If the CPU was under my desk, I would not notice. I have the CPU on my desk as it is easier to get to the DVD player ahd plug ins on the front. I enjoy the speed and features. Dennis

I don't find it noisy. Since the enclosure is fanless, the only noise is when the drive is spinning.

I've never heard a loud whirring with my unit. The only time the disc makes noise is when it is first loading. If it is a home made DVD, the player makes lots of "searching" noises, but when it finally starts to play, it is very quiet. I'd say your friend has a defective unit.

I do not find it to be noisy at all...when you plug it in, there is a startup noise similar to a computer starting...that is all. I love this machine!!!

I can't speak to "high pitch"; when I have a DVD playing, the sound is just not great overall, has to be turned way up. Adjusting the settings to "movie" doesn't help a whole lot. A case of getting what you pay for, I guess; external speakers might help?

I don't know but I will say that this has turned out to be a noisy unit. I like quiet drives.

My brand new Toshiba Satellite does it to when the DVD/CD rom spins up. Its obviously way to sensitive.
