The CD pickup arm has just begun to push down too
Here is a blog about a similar sounding problem from churchproduction.com:
Many disc manufacturers put a clear plastic pseudo-disc on the top of the stack when they package their product, which I know to look for and discard. Memorex, however, also puts a black pseudo-disc on the bottom of their stack, which I've never run into before, and unknowingly loaded into the middle of the input bin. The robot arm picked up this black disc. Since it's a different thickness and also may have a slightly different hole diameter than a real disc, the disc fell off the robot arm while it was moving to load it into the burner, dropped on its side between the burner and the input bin, and promptly created an obstacle to the robot arm. When the arm tried to traverse back to the input bin, it smashed against the disc, knocking the input bin askew (now I know why the input bins aren't securely fastened to the publisher!), made a horrendous noise, and stopped.
Much to Primera's credit, once I cleared out the problem disc and set things right, the publisher functioned perfectly normal with no damage. And this user made a mental note to look more carefully at what I'm loading into the input bin.
I guess something in the loading mechanism could be making the sound, but my guess would be the gears that drive the laser lens are at the root of the problem, since the disc is spun and finalized at the end of a recording. Not an easy problem to figure out, or fix. Check to make sure no foreign objects have gotten inside, and are obstructing the mechanism. Aside from that, the unit will have to be disassembled to determine what's going on.
Maybe you're having a similar problem as first described, and can fix it easily. Good luck, and hope this helps.
