The grinding noise is normal as PSP loads from the disc from time to time. I am not so sure about the humming noise, though.

thanks for the reply at least the grinding is normal. It by far sounds the worse but hopefully someone else can chime in on the humming

Usually on mine, when a game is loading up the UMD drive grinds it out loud, but during gameplay it's pretty silent, save for a few loading/checkpoints in games. Heh, the PSP is quite a noisy machine for a handheld.

When it reads from a UMD, it will make a low humming sound. I think it is normal and not a flaw.

I have a PSP e1000 and the grinding noise happens when it is loading in gran turismo. but I enabled a setting called UMD cache in system settings (i think!) and it limits the "grinding noise" you can find in system settings (i think!) if not then browse the settings and turn UMD cache ON
