Its making like a constant loading noise, kind of like a printer, but it only seems to happen when I play Modern Warfare 2. (single player and multiplayer) It plays fine but I'm concerned about the noise.
The disc for MW2 is in mint condition, I bought it new and I don't think its ever been dropped or anything, there isn't any scrathces.

I popped in LittleBigPlanet, Prince of Persia and Resident Evil 5 and I didn't have any problems. Should I be concerned? or do you think its just the game?

I think it's probably just the game. Some games seem to do that. Drake's Fortune always did that for me. Probably because there was no install so it was constantly loading from the disc.

mine does it at random times when a disc is in, sounds exactly like a printer. it's just the BD drive working hard to read data. don't sweat it.

The thing that worries me is that it never did it before. At least I don't think so, I play with headphones on.

Its a constant noise, its not every once in a while. Is it safe to play?

It might be your disc. Similar thing happens with my GTA4 and Killzone 2.

all PS3s make that noise with MW2. Some people don't notice it until they turn there TV sound low. The noise happenes cuz MW2 uses a net 'trick' to constantly stream textures during gameplay. Since MW2 doesn't have install option for PS3s, the textures are streamed directly from the Blue-Ray disk .. constantly making the noise. I'm sure this wears down your BR-Disk drive. Since i am planning on keeping my PS3 for many years, i am going to sell my copy of MW2 and get Battlefield Bad Company 2 instead. hopefully BF2 didn't learn this silly trick to stream textures from MW2.

It's just the game, Uncharted 1 seems to do that through out the whole game for me.

My Ps3 starts to make strange noises too. I never had any problems but since yesterday it started to make all that noise, but it's not about the game i supose cause it happened first while i played Final Fantasy. Then I tried different Games and the noise stayed if it was Cod, Pes or any other game. The games all work fine but the sound really is annoying and i don't want that anything gets damaged
