Noisy Powerbook Hard drive

[smharmon]

I have a 1ghz powerbook, that has a very noisy hard drive. None of my friends sound anything like mine, you can hear it perform every task, and it is very annoying (seems like it is slowing the system down). Please let me know if anyone thinks this is a problem with my unit only, as I have till Wed. to initiate a return with apple.

1 GHz AluBook has the same problem (see the PB review thread in this section for another person who has it). Personally, it drives me *crazy* in a quiet room, and I'm thinking about talking to the Geniuses about it. Anyone had any success with this?
