I think something is wrong with my macbook pro

[kathrodr]

I bought my first ever MacBook Pro for Christmas and I love it! But, I think something is wrong with it and I don't know if I should be concerned.

Every time my mac starts up, I hear a noise coming from the bottom right side of the computer. The sound is not long...maybe 2 or 3 seconds in duration. It also sounds to be mechanical. Do all macs make that noise at while starting? Is this normal? Is my mac damaged? Is this something I am going to have to get fixed ASAP?

I would guess that it's the CD drive. At boot time, the boot manager checks whether there is a bootable CD in the drive... that's the sound you are hearing.

And before you ask, the disc check cannot be disabled as there is no tray on the optical drive.
