Does your Xbox 360 Slim make a loud humming noise while running certain games? Mine does.

Only when the disc spins at certain parts like the initial load as you start the game or when the system loads up a big level, but the sound should be more of a soft hum rather than the super loud one (rawrrrr) with the old 360.

It's probably loud because it's hungry. I don't have one because I don't support anorexia.

@Renee: I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes bad jokes on here. I still feel bad about my tuna taco joke.

It's really quiet on most games until I play Halo 3 or Gears of War 2.

Halo 3 has huge stages though. You are talking about when it loads in between stages right? Gear of War 2 has to spin the disc constantly too to stream in the extra textures because Gears of War 2 uses  ALOT of texture and to make up for its 60fps, the disc needs to spin faster.

@Cypher's Gambit: No it's constant on those games. Maybe it's what you said. I changed the position from vertical to horizontal too to see if that helped but it made no difference. It sounds like the disk drive. The games play perfect otherwise.

I bought the slim with a 250gb HDD this past Dec and I absolutely love it.  I haven't had any noise problem so far.
