Does the controller box make noise?

of course it does, it's a miniature compressor, but my 91 year old, nearly deaf mom watches TV while she uses it, and has been known to fall asleep also.

The packaging claims it does but I have yet to experience it. I even make sure that the "rumble" option on the games I play is set to 'ON'. Doesn't bother me though.

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

Yes is has a low buzz when sound is absent. Not noticeable during game play though. Personally doesn't bother me.

I don't notice any noise. I have had mine for about a month and I'm very satisfied.

No. I have used mine a lot in the last 6 months since I got it and have not heard any sound like that.

No, my unit does NOT make such a sound. I DO think it is faulty. Please return it, ASAP, but be sure you tell them why.

Mine works just fine in my ps3 I have not heard any odd noises coming from the unit. I've been using it for a few months without any issues. This may be something with your drive. Possibly defective but I can't say for sure.

The deck and motor are very quiet, but there is an audible beep when you interact with the console, or if it shuts itself down due to a timeout (if you get off, etc.). I haven't investigated to see if there's a way to adjust the beep volume or silence it.

No, m'am/sir. I should not make any kind of noise at all. You should contact the seller or manufacturer.

I haven't noticed any extra noise. My computer is very quiet most of the time. Only every so often does it make a surging sound for a few seconds, and that's usually only when I'm doing something like rendering a big CG animation.

No. No noise at all. 100% happy/satisfied with this purchase. Product meets or exceeds all expectations. Good luck!

Mine made the same sound. I replaced the actuator and it fixed the problem.

Mine really doesn't make noise, and when it's empty, it automatically shuts off, but doesn't give a warning.

Mine will make an audible clicking noise whenever the system starts up or shuts down. I'm guessing it is something inside completing the circuit allowing the system to run.

Mine makes a noise that I was initially concerned about but after reading JcrusR2's answer I can verify that in my case, he is right (The only thing that might be loose is the plastic On Button. The inside should be solid.) Try shaking it and checking to see if the noise is coming from the power button. You can also jiggle the button lightly with your finger and produce the same sound.
