new ps3 owner, need somethings cleared up.

i noticed that while i play some games, while the orange light is flashing, it makes some noise, kinda like the noise a computer would make while it is running a program. is this normal?

i also noticed that the disc drive makes several reading noises, but i assume this is normal.

last but not least, i also noticed that sometimes makes a squeaking kind of noise, its not very noticable, just in the quiet part of games. my friends said he has heard this too. is this normal?

are these things normal?

sorry for being a pain,i am paranoid, since i recently made the change from microsoft to sony. also my ps3 is the new 80gb.

you mean the orange light by the USB ports right? I think thats the wifi light, if not i have no idea what your talking about there.

yah mine makes reading noises when it first starts up or when loading certain parts of a game

not sure about the squeak i have surround sound cant hear that,

Yeah it usually is, mine makes a noise every now and then that I can only describe as what ice sounds like when it cracks (wierd analogy I know) but it's fine.

The orange light (and noise) means the HDD is being accessed (just as it would on a computer). Reading noises are normal on any optical disc drive. I don't know what squeeking noise you're talking about.

My PS3 does not make any audible noise.

Or maybe that is just because I sit about 20+ feet away from my PS3, and turn it own using my controller so I never really hear the disk reading part.

I guess my PS3 is different. I don't hear much of anything from mine. My OTHER console is a different story.

If it get's out of hand, I would call support.
