How to prevent the CD drive from making too much noise.





If your drive is making too much noise lately while reading a CD that has just been inserted in the drive and even shacks you CPU at times, it might be due to a hardware malfunction or because the CDs that you have inserted are not recognized by the drive due to some scratches on the CD.

However, some advanced CD writers have this problem because they burn CDs very quickly. Hence, the noise done can be quite loud. There are two simple ways to solve this issue:

Solution 1: Reduce the speed of the burning process.


Depending on the burning software that you have installed on your computer, you can set the speed below 52x. I would advice older computers to use a writing speed of 20x-40x to avoid any problems while burning your CDs.

Solution 2: Download Nero Drive Speed


You can also choose to download the Nero Drive Speed software that can handle this issue for you.

Hence, after downloading and installing the software properly, choose the reading speed of your drive by selecting Silent mode from the given list.
