It happens to me, too. It's fine as long as it isn't turning off your computer.

It's just working.

hae you tryied leaing the dvd tray open or leaving a cd/dvd insinde?... i did and in both cases the sound stopped... so it must be a software " problem" there is o program that makes the dvd rom check if it has anything inside... but which is the program???

Kevlar, look on the bottom right of the screen on your tool bar. There will be a picture of a disc. Right click and make sure the acoustic silencer is turned on.

It may just be the fan. My laptop does the same thing when it's fan goes on.

It is not of concern. But I would've gone for a Macintosh.
Of course, if the sound is linked to a prime error/malfunction, set by the factory, you best get out of the room now. Imminent explosion, death, doom, yadi yadi yada

You should call Toshiba and have them send you a replacement while your warranty is still good.

ok i seen that some of you didn't understand.... the weird sound comes from the dvd rom 100% ...when you start your computer the dvd rom emits a sound the sound rezembels the fact that it is checking for a dvd/cd inside.... it;s the same sound it happens only when i don't have a vd/dvd inside... it.s not the fan ...is in the upper left corner while the sound comes from the upper right corner (dvd rom)... i m more than sure that this is a software seting that i can't find... becaus it is checking if there is a cd/dvd...

English my child, please. I can't understand what you are trying to say here, so I can't help you. I don't think that it is just a particular software setting, perhaps check the driver for the DVD drive to make sure it's up to date? It doesn't sound like a major issue though, it could just be normal.

I'm &quotretty" sure that you don't have your acoustic silencer on. I have a Toshiba Satellite 305A so it's probably similar, and my laptop makes that noise when I don't have it on. For me, to turn it off and on, on the toolbar there's a picture of a CD and if you right click it it gives you the option to turn it off/on.

Do you happen to have a disc in your DVD player? Sometimes it will run the disc every now and then if you leave it in there.
