The grinding noise came when the console was turned on, with our without a DVD in the tray. The box runs at it's normal volume 80 percent of the time, but every once in a while it is obnoxiously loud. I have the shipping box here but since it sounds ok right now I am going to wait a bit to ship it out. I spoke with a "resolution specialist" who is supposed to call me back on Monday. I am requesting a new console, but I requested a new one the last two times as well. My console is out of it's original warranty but I have a 90 day warranty that came With the refurbed xbox.
