Has it increased in sound from when you first bought it?

I am the hero this forum needs, but not the one it deserves.

Has anybody else noticed their disc drive to be a little on the loud side? It seems anytime a disc is inserted it is spinning regardless if you're playing a game or not. Let me be clear, it is not making any strange loud noises, clicking, snap-crackle-popping, but you'd think the disc would spin up when first inserted then sit idle until you actually start up a game. I have a feeling this is normal, but thought I'd check. Do you think this is something that could be resolved by a software fix? Something in the software that would tell the disc drive to remain in "hibernation" until a command is sent to the system to play a game off the disc and then spin up the drive.
I agree - the disc loading can be pretty loud at times...I don't notice it all the times, but with the long load times on games..especially Zombi U for instance..its very noticeable
How do you know it's the disc drive and not the fan?

It would be pretty hard to confuse those two, I know what he means.

When a foreign media such as a blu ray movie is inserted, the disc drive stops spinning once the console deems it unrecognized.
I'm sure Nintendo will address this with a firmware update ASAP. There is no need for the disc to be spinning until infinity like this.
For now I guess I would advise everyone to eject all discs when not in use to save from unnecessary wear and tear on the drive.
Since apparently we as consumers are the Beta testers, please contact Nintendo about this issue. They of course can't resolve a problem that they aren't aware of without our feedback.

Usually, I only put a disc in when I want to play a game, and then eject it once I'm done playing.

does it randomly start making a hissing noise? my wii u just did that
Not as far as I can tell. I don't think the noise I was describing is related to your issue.
I thought that was a normal thing that happens. Heck, the wii has done the same thing for years.

You're probably right about the Wii. I suppose I could pop a disc into my Wii and see what happens with it as well. I just didn't think about it. To be honest, it's been quite a while since I actually felt compelled to play something on the Wii. The last time I turned it on was to do the system migration and there was no disc in the drive. Prior to that, I'm sure it had been at least a couple months since I used the Wii.
