How loud is your NEC 3500a ?

[5cupa]

I have 2 3500a DVD DL drives. both new and they are pretty damn loud when burning or playing.


my m8 reckons his is silent when in operation and he bought it 3 weeks after mine from a different store


anyone else have one and if so is it loud?

mine is almost silent when playing stuff. when burning it makes a noticable amount of noise but nothing ear blistering.
