How do I get my freakin' CD player to STFU????

[Broohaha]

Stupid thing always sounds like an aircraft engine. Even when I just stick a CD in and have no plans to use it, it goes on and on and on for like FIFTEEN MINUTES.

[FoBoT]

replace it

Broohaha, if you're talking about your CD-Rom drive, some are louder than others, just a fact of life. For example, my Tosh drive is loud as h*ll, but I still love it for it's features

 

[CarpeDeo]

Could always take out the CD.

Lite ons are pretty damn loud too.

Teac Drives are pretty silent.
Look into a Teac Replacement.

Shoot it, then set it on fire.

 

[Nocturnal]

Smash it with a hammer.

Go Office Space on it. Make sure to play Damn it feels good to be a gangsta while you own it also.

My purty new black Plextor 52x has this silent feature where it slows everything down internally so it doesn't make a sound. Kinda nice for burning CD's in church but other than that kinda pointless.

Uncheck auto insert notification in cd players properties.

I remember in an old PC Magazine or Boot (Maximum PC), they figured out that sticking and index card into the crack between the drive and the case would quiet down their CD-ROM drive.... that was a few years ago, with a different CD-ROM drive though...

 

[bootymac]

pwn it

 

[ethebubbeth]

it's just like with case fans.... you can't make things any quieter if the revolutions per minute get really high. Some drives are quieter than others but no 52x drive will be very quiet

 

[Evadman]

switch the 5v and ground on the molex connector so it runs on 7v like a fan.

 

[Pilsnerpete]

yet another useful tip: unplug it! no more noise!

 

[deerslayer]

Get a different one. I don't think there's much else you can do.

My $120 40x TDK burner is loud as hell

My $20 AMR Generic 48x Burner is faster and VERY quiet

 

[PCMarine]

Doh... Double Post
