Drive Sounds?

[Tek720]

My Wii seems to make noise when reading GameCube disks. It is not the sound of the disk spinning, but the laser eye moving. Is this normal?

It does it a little on Wii games, but it is much more subtle. How much Wii drive noise is normal? None of it sounds extreme, but I am concerned none the less.


Once again, it is just the sound of the laser eye moving, not any spinning noise.

My wii makes similar sounds every once in a while

I tend to notice it during dialog. For example, in Battalion Wars when they are talking about the objectives. I don't notice it when I am playing.

I found an article online that says the Wii drive is the loudest of the three consoles. So my guess is these sounds are normal.

I remember my GameCube being loud when reading risks, guess this is similar...
