the PB noise is drivy.BiikeMike said:
Just ignore it-- it's fine. I thought mine was really noisy, but no. it's fine.
I've asked the genius bar on SEVERAL occasions (they laughed at me every time), and it's cool.
I've been repeatedly assured that it's ok.
Don't worry, it is. The drive is just real noisy.

I thought that was very apt, even before I read the edit. The noise the PB makes as the cd drive wakes up (whheee-clunk-schzszszs) is indeed "drivy".
Made sense to me! Either you're making more sense than you think, or we're both mental....

I think it's the latter...
it IS quite drivy, though.

strange but true
I found a funny sound too - but the thinggy is not drivy it's more like the speakers emit a little brushing sound when it wakes up from sleep ... it's like when you put a fizzy vitamin tablet in a glass of water and the last bit pops to the surface and fizzes out - or it's like a little man with a little brush sweeps everything clean right after i wake it from sleep! is that a normal quirk! it's is JUST weird
any ideas - i'm sure it's made by the speakerS!
