My Sony D-7 makes no noise at all. Of course, I'm listening to
my headphones, but once it spins up it's pretty quiet when I hook
it up to my friend's stereo, too.
One roommate's Yamaha only makes noise when opening or closing
the drawer.
Another roommate's Denon doesn't even make that noise.

| 950.2 | Problem with your NEC? | ARMORY::MIKELISJ | Just browsing through time... | Tue Nov 03 1987 08:12 | 15 |
| Bart,
It must be your machine. The noise my Yamaha CD37
makes is negligable as with just about all other
machines i've heard. How close to the player do
you sit when you listen to CDs? :-).
> Why is it that most CD players that I've listen to make so much
> noise while playing. I'm talking about the drives mechanics? If
Most? Really? What kind of noise are you referring to? It must
be quite loud if you can hear it during quiet musical passages.

| 950.3 | No Noise For Me | CELICA::CLEARY | I want snow and lots of it!!! | Tue Nov 03 1987 12:31 | 8 |
| I have a middle of the road Fisher unit and get zero noise while
playing CD's. When I first close the door I get a little noise,
but nothing bothersome.
You might try a service call.

| 950.4 | Yup, you can hear it.... | BETHE::LICEA_KANE | | Tue Nov 03 1987 13:14 | 18 |
| I also have a NEC 650 about the same vintage. There is a definate
increase in servo-mechanism "noise" between tracks. During music,
the servo is quieter, but in between, it's definately audible.
(No, the music isn't masking the noise, even if I shut off the
amplifier, I can tell when the player is tracking music and when
it is tracking the in-betweens.)
I had a couple other CD players home for a month each, and both were
substantially noisier. I've also been most impressed how much noise
some high end equipment can make. And it still amazes me that you can
hear the memory of a 780 with your ears.
Always wondered if S/N should be a measure of just what's coming
down the line, or if the noise the equipment makes should be added
in.

| I too have a Fisher. The door makes a noise, and I can hear the
lens-carrier when it's moving long distances, but other mechanical
noise is barely audible even with my ear close to the unit.
I did hear a Maggie once that was very mechanically noisy, and could
be heard accross the room even with moderate volume from the speakers.
It got replaced.
That mechanical noise is something "up with which you should not
put".

| Here's yet another quiet Fisher. The *only* times my player makes
audible noise is when the door closes and when the lens has to traverse
long distances.

| 950.7 | And now for something completely different! | PARITY::SZABO | the Mad Hungarian | Tue Nov 03 1987 14:31 | 11 |
| Oh no, please don't say.......too late!
I never heard 'noisy' discs until I read it here.
Now, I'm afraid, I'll forever notice the 'noise' my player makes!
That settles it, I'm going DAT all the way!

| 950.8 | Early Maggies are Noisy | TELCOM::ROSENBERG | Dick Rosenberg VRO5-2/C7 | Wed Nov 04 1987 10:28 | 11 |
| Maggies (at least earlier ones) are known for being noisy. I own
a 1040 and noticed that I could hear a high-pitched whine, especially
on the earlier tracks (the ones nearer the center of the disk).
I called up North American Phillips and they said the noise was
normal.
It really doesn't bother me unless I am sitting close (2-4') from
my system while playing a quiet disc and at that point I am really
closer to the CD player than I am to the fronts of the speakers.
