    Xbox 360 Disc Drive Making Loud Noise


    I got an Xbox 360 two years ago, and it has recently, when I play a game, on startup the disc drive will be VERY loud, then it will quiet down a bit, then it will get VERY loud again. I'm not sure why, but I don't really want to open it up. I don't think
    it has a warranty left on it either. My console is an Xbox 360 slim.

    :)

  2. Buying used Xbox one

    Oh yeah make sure to test out the disk drive before you buy it. Some of the launch xbox ones (including mines) had issue with the disc drive no reading and making a loud buzzing noise.

    Xbox 360 Disc Drive Making Loud Noise

    It might help if you install your disc-based games to the hard drive. This will prevent the need for the disc drive to spin up and should reduce the noise you hear.

    When you put the disc in, instead of pressing A to play, there's an option to install the disc (I think it's the Y button now but it'll be listed at the bottom of the screen). You'll still hear the disc drive spin up when you first start a game, but that's
    just to verify that you have the disc in the drive. You shouldn't hear it anymore after that.

    Xbox making loud buzzing noise

    My Xbox 360 Slim is making a loud buzzing noise with and without a disc in it. If anyone knows how to fix this, or why it is happening please let me know.

    Infuriating

    Is it only loud when you put in the dead rising disc? Or is it always making the loud noise?

    Disc drive loud noise

    Mine is making a grinding, weird noise it also stops but then comes back. Now it hasn't gone away. No scratches on the games, everything works fine, sept the constant loud noise that sounds like a fan, or disc drive. I don't let anyone play it so it doesn't
    get worse and screw something up. Is this something I need to send in for repair? Mine is an Xbox 360.
