DVD Spinning noise normal?


I had a cheap Toshiba DVD which had spinning platter noise noticeable on quiet passages. I bought a used Sony DVD S7000 high end player which does the same thing but not on all disc's.The original owner stated he noticed it also but only on some DVD's. Any reasons why DVD players are super quiet like high end CD players? Thanks

I have experienced with three DVD players: Sony, Mitsu, and a Panasonic all about 150.00.

The Panasonic appears to have the best built tranport and case - it does a better job of keeping the spinning noise from being too loud.

The Mitsu is very loud. You can hear the disks spin.

The Sony is in between.

My guess, it has to do with the trasport and and case. I end up putting some sound insulation inside my equipment cabinet and small piece of terry cloth under the mitsu..and it soaked up a lot of the noise.
