I bought a new elite about 3 months ago and I noticed it was a bit louder then my launch day 360. I didn't really care as it was still pretty quiet but it has gotten louder and louder as time goes on.

I had to install BF2 onto the hard drive because it was so insanely loud I couldn't even hear the TV. (Imagine a plane taking off in your living room.) Even worse whenever the game loads (when it normally gets a bit louder) there's a terrible grinding sound.

This only happens when I am playing off a disk, when playing off the Hard Drive or streaming videos/in dashboard it sounds normal. Anyone have any experience with this? I am thinking of sending it back to Microsoft as they have a 1 year warranty.
