Hi there...when you insert a DVD/CD into the drive it will make a series of clicks and whine noises during loading.  These are quite normal.  It will also make a similar sound when ejecting discs as well.

sounds like maybe the video card.

Try using a lense cleaner. I had an HP cd-rw drive that did the same crap. It would never recognize a bured cd. Well, turns out, this particular CD Burner was made for HP by Samsung. I did a firmware and driver update, that helped alot. But I noticed that if the drive wasn't cleaned freaquently, it would not read burned cd's, or recognise blank ones. So first things, first, try just cleaning it.\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, I highly recomend replacing it!\nI've never had that great of luck with Samsung drives of any kind in a computer. \n\nI highly recomend drives made by LiteOn. They make a fantastic drives and they're very afordable.\n\nIf You want slightly better performance however, Toshiba makes a realy good drive as well. I highly recomend one of their DVD multi drives!\n\nFinaly, Pioneer! A little pricey, but not too bad. I've had a couple of their DVD rom drives. One thing I can say about the Pioneer drives is that they do much better with dirty and scratched Optical disks than most drives I've used. I don't know what their DVD burners cost now adays, but a strait up DVD-Rom shouldn't be more than 30 bucks!

Sounds  strange.  Try right formatting the drive by right clicking on it.  This should work.

Try cleaning it with special CD Rom cleaning kits.  They are a CD that you insert and just push play.  This fixes my CD problems most of the time.  If this does not work take it to a technician.

Any sound that starts to come out of computer case that wasn't there before is a bad sign.  Especially if your friend was right and its coming from your hard drive.  Often with old drives the boom gets worn down and actually begins to drag on the hard drive platter.  The correct action would be to first and immediately backup any important data.  Then find out if your hard drive supports S.M.A.R.T. which is a feature in modern HDD's that allow the user to diagnose problems.  I would advise just googling it, but i use a program called "speedfan" to monitor my S.M.A.R.T. enabled drives.  Also you may want to run "check disk" from the control panel in windows.  It could be the sound of fans spinning up especially if its a laptop but its probably not caused by overheating.  Lastly you should double check to make sure nothing is touching the fan blades inside your case.  Any rubbing here will cause a sound.

Try opening it with an unfolded paper clip: There is a small hole just under the CD tray. Insert the unfolded clip until the tray pops out.\nYou probably have a mechanical problem. Check if any foreign objects are in the drive. Although I'm almost sure it will be unusable.

Reinstall your drivers go to start button, then click run and write devmgmt.msc in text box and then click Ok now check your dvd drive if it has any problems or if it even shows up if not the plug inside is probably loose.

First, are you using on-board sound or an add on PCI card(Sound Blaster etc.)?? Check your volume settings. You may have several. The program that you use to play the DVD in like Power DVD etc. has its own volume level control it may be a little hard to find on their control panel, usually a slider of some type. Windows has 2 possibilities in it, the main volume control and the wave. Try adjusting them till it sounds OK to you. Then there is the volume control on your speakers(if they are amplified). Also check the volume settings in control panel. Looking for all of this stuff is what made go bald by pulling my hair out!!

Noisey drives often have bad bearings. They spin very rapidly and wear out over time.\nThe fact that the light is on with no disk indicates a malfunction. Try erasing and reinstalling the driver.\nIt may be time to install a new drive. See a tecnician.

Clicking noise is the first sign of corrupted sectors on the hdd, however I recommend you to update your drivers. Also you can reformat and therefore get report about its corrupted sectors. If your pc is able to recognize this hdd it should appear here: start>>settings>>control panel>>administrative tools>>computer management>>storage>>disk management. If it is there I strongly recommend you to reformat it.

There are two different lasers in the drive, one that reads CDs, and one that reads DVDs. You'll have to replace the drive if you want CDs to work, as the laser that reads the CDs has given out it sounds like.

Bad disk, cheap media, cd disk inserted when dvd settings selected or vice versa.  These are the usual reasons, check out the drive manufacturers website and see what they recommend.\n\nRegards EDD
