New MacBook Pro making weird sound after sleep and startup

[Greenhoe]

Hi,
I just bought a MacBook Pro and a Weird sound such as a disc scratching is coming from it seems my Disc drive. This only happens when I start the computer up or wake it after the HD goes to sleep. The notebook is brand new and not sure if this is normal. Any advice would help. Thanks

Alright, good I was worried that something could be wrong with it already.

if there were a cd in the drive then the there would be a whirring sound. does that sound better to you?

There is no CD in the drive when it makes that sound, it doesn't really bother me just don't want there to be anything wrong as that sound just didn't seem normal.

The SuperDrive makes startup sound regardless there is media in it or not.

It's the sound of the drive checking it there is a disk or not in the drive. Much like a computer closing the drive tray (In fact that's exactly why it is).

same issue with start up drive sound

my husband and I both bought identical macbook pro's at the same time and while they both make the noise, it seems my computer is more noticeable. I can hardly hear the noise on his computer, anyone have any advice.

I like the sound. It assures me my computer is still working

Don't worry about it.

One thing bothers me...

The only thing that troubles me about the statup "disk checking" sound is that
on my machine, it is simultaneous with the startup tone, messing up its clarity.
