Loudly spinning discs

When I insert a disc, it sometimes spinns noticably faster than it probably should. It makes a strange noise

and when I put my hand on the system it vibrates. From time to time it goes quiet and then

loud again as it reads data from the disc.

I tried to put the disc several times and sometimes it"s quiet I can"t even hear it and

sometimes it"s much louder because of the spinning.

I have 80gb with 2 USBs and no compatibility - the newest model.

Is it normal or is something wrong? Thanks for replies.

Well it might be your disc drive getting alittle weird.I don't think that it is a big deal,but if you just bought it ask if you can get a replacement.K1LLR3175

Since day one? To me, it's a faulty drive or the disc since you weren't clear regarding which or how many discs you were using but given the length, I would go with many. Mine never made any noise.Afylan

Any chance you could make a video or something? These days it's hard telling whether someone's hardware issue(s) are normal or not without actually hearing/seeinig it. It doesn't exactly sound normal the way you described it but yeah. I'm not too sure.

OK I"ll try to record the sound. But I"ve never done this before so - how can I upload mp3 file here?

And one more thing - when it makes that noise it vibrates, sometimes quite a lot. No idea how to describe what is a lot for me though. But I can

feel it vibrating even when I put my hand next to the system. It sits on wood.

Or I can use Youtube of course

this happened to me too but then gave it more ventallation and made it horizantal instead and its fine now

I have it horizontal and there"s a lot space around it.

Well I still hope there"s nothing to be fixed:)

So I tried to record it but I couldn"t hear it after that. So I suppose we can"t do anything more about it. I"ll just hope it"s normal and nothing unplesant will happen...

my ps3 only does that when its loading
