Ever since the last update my xbox has been making a really annoying grating noise whenever it spins the disk. Fortunately it hasn't damaged any of my games so far. I called up microsoft and all they suggested was renewing my warrenty that would cost over £80.

Anyone else experiencing this and can think of ways to overcome it?

Have you recently knocked your xBox over? If it's the noise I think it is -- then it isn't because of the update and, if it continues, it WILL damage your discs. Does your xbox stand upright or lay down? If it stands up, try laying it down. That stopped the noise in one of my brother's old xboxes. Unfortunately, that one ended up going back to the manufacturer for the red ring of death.

Are you sure that you haven't done anything to your xbox at all? I doubt it's from the update, probably just seems like that's what it is because of the timing of the problem. Compared to my ps3, the xbox tends to make more noise anyways and if you don't have the game properly in the slot then it can make more noise. Check your discs to make sure that it's not scratching up your games or anything too, because if it is you don't wanna compound the problem further by having broken games. I'm not sure what the 80 translates to in American dollars but that might be the best route to go and just get the problem solved.

A update wouldn't make your box generate more noise, I would suggest Installing all your games to your HDD to decrease the sound of the disk spinning.

Yeah mine's is doing that dumb shiit too!! i hate it because everytime i turn it on it sounds like its trying to read the disc but it can't...or something because its the same noise over and over again for like about 30 seconds after that it starts doing that loud spinning noise and finally reads it. idk if its the lens that is causing the xbox tostruggle to read the discs...idk any help would be usefull.
