macbook superdrive question

[ShaneR]

So I recently purchased a new Macbook (black 250GB 2.4Ghz etc.) and when I insert a cd into the super-drive, there are several clicking and clunking noises. I just want to make sure this is normal and not something I should be worried about.

Here's some reading & listening material on the subject, sounds normal to me

The slot loading drives tend to make a few weird noises when a disc is inserted into the machine. Whirring and light clunk, typically. Much the same occurs when you eject the disc.

Unless it sounds pretty horrible, like it's grinding your disc into bits, i wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better
