MBP 15" loud optical drive sounds when inserting and ejecting DVD's

[DRGN89]

Whenever I insert a DVD or a CD it makes the loud roarish sound same thing when I eject. Does this happen to anyone else? I have the i7 15" 2.0GHz model.

The superdrive is pretty loud when loading or ejecting a disc, so I'd say that's normal.

It's either a faulty drive, or you have a warped disc.

Sounds like a stripped gear or something like that. I'd take it to apple, and they should replace the drive for free.

inserted another disc and it sound like a spinning disc slightly hitting a surface.

would apple exchange it even if i don't have a receipt? it's still within 14 days.

They almost certainly would just replace your superdrive, rather than give you a new computer.

It may be. I haven't had to deal with that myself though
