Help please my new PS3 Slim 160GB makes Loud noise when reading the game disks.

I need to know if this is normal, since the console is brand new.

Whichever game I slide in, starts reading it making a pretty loud noise. It is very annoying!. The only way to play is to raise the volume of the tv.

Is this normal in this models?. Should I try to change it at the store for anotherone? Will I encounter the same issue in a new unit of the same model?

While I have no way of knowing what a "loud sound" is to you, personally, it should not impede your ability to hear game sound at normal volumes... I would get it exchanged. Disc activity in a PS3 slim is no more disturbing than any other device, on the whole.

The loud noise is the reading of the drive (when it reads the disks). If it would be 10 times silent it would be normal. But when it reads the disks its loud, the spining I mean.

Again it's a tough call at a distance. PS3s aren't whisper-quiet by any stretch of the imagination. Loading of information doesn't sound like grinding gears, though. If you are concerned, take the game and the console back to point-of-purchase and have a salesman put it through it's paces. Generally, they can tell you if something sounds right, or if it needs replacing.

It's not mis-reading or otherwise F-ing up on the load, right? No error codes or frozen screens?

I had a 60 Gb and the slim is much louder wehn reading the disc

It should stop being loud after a while of reading the disc.
