Noise when Aluminum macbook start up

[polarflour]

Hi, can anyone clarify this for me, is it normal when I press the power button to start up the new aluminum macbook, it has a machinery noise? It is normal right?

thanks

Mine does, its the CD drive checking if there is any cd in the drive to boot from.

I'd be more worried if any of my computers weren't making noise when I turn them on.
