ok.....my wii has been set up since xmas day. Not been moved, not been knocked. Noticed last night when putting monkeyball in drive a strange chugging sound....seems to settle down after a while and not really noticed it when using other discs...altho i will now listen out. Anyone else had any similar strange noises from their wii's. All is working ok
 
ive heard it before. i dont know what its about but maybe its being used too much. but i did stop making that noise after 5 minutes.

To be honest ours isnt used that much....hour a day at the msot during the week...a bit more at weekends when the jkids are at home....just wondered if it was something that i should be worrying about....

The Wii is design to be used for years. A couple months of use should not be considered being used "too much", even if you're playing all days long and swapping discs a lot. It could be an early sign that something in the disc loading mechanism is starting to fail.
 
LMFAO!!!! Good one:lol:
 
ive heard some wierd noises too. when games boot up it has some disc noises for a while. i dont notice it go away cause im too immersed in the games after 5 minutes lol. but it happends so often i dont think it does go away.

should this be happening? its not bad, games work, but its a wierd chuggin sound.
 
i have an odd noise as well, but mine is only when you boot up the system

The warning screen pops up and tells you to press the "a" button. I do that and just before it loads the wii menu interface, a small clicking noise is heard. Almost comparable to that of snapping your fingers faintly. Has anyone else had something happen along these lines???
 
I think just about everyone gets that clicking noise, I think thats the disk being spun up initially... I dont really know. Two questions: how loud would you say the fan is (about as loud as X) and how much/often do you get loading noises during gameplay... and what do they sound like?
 
As long as it only happens for a short period, it will be ok. If the sound happens throughout all of the gameplay it might be something to be concerned about.
My Wii makes a little sound when reading discs and starting up.

Same here. I think it's just normal though.
