so i open the disc try and close it with no disc. the 360 attempts to read if there is a disc, and during this process of reading, i hear like a revving/motor/phone vibrating on the table type noise..2 small spurts of it. is there something wrong with my disc tray/drive? should i return and get a new one? its reading the games fine, its just that noise is bothering me cuz it doesnt sound normal? or is that how its supposed to sound when u dont put a disc in and it attempt to read it? PLEASE HELP

I never close my tray without a disk in it because if it does it's a hassle to get it open again...so I can't tell you sorry. If there's no troubles reading disks I wouldn't worry

The 360s drive makes alot of noises depending which you have, just make sure you dont knock the machine while a disk is in or youll end up with a 60$ coaster.

I just got it open again after checking, yeah it makes a sound but my 360 makes that sound all the time...happens a lot when I'm loading something in a game too. I wouldn't worry about it

Sounds like an average 360 at work to me. Perhaps you weren't lucky to get one of the quieter dvd drives. Then again, I can't recall ever closing the disc tray with no game in it...

well the manual says u shouldnt shut down the console with a game in there. so thats when i close the tray, and then shutdown. thats when i started noticing the noise. by all means it is a LOUD console, but the revving noise i mentioned scared me cuz i thought i got a bad 360=X so its normal then?

That's what happens when you buy a used console. ;)

Try and take it back if possible.

The sound of your average 360 is about the same as a jet engine taking off.
