is this normal?
it only sounds like the machinery inside getting into gear, and it doesn't sound like anything's broken, but i wanted to make sure nonetheless instead of whining about it to apple and have them look at me like i'm crazy.

thanks for your help in advance. 🙂
 
yeah for some reason the optical drives apple chooses to use seem to be louder than any others iv experienced.
 
thank you so much, guys.
it's my first time with a mac so i want to be cautious, and get the most the most out of it.

I nearly choked on my beer when I read the thread title. I was expecting the Mac start up chime to be the culprit. 😀
