Depending on the console type(360, 360 elite, 360 slim) it varies but mostly this only happens in the 360 and 360 elite. If you have a slim it is that the disk tray is somehow broken( like mine was) and all you need to do is to send back to microsoft and they will fix it. If it's the 360 or 360 elite then you most likely have some how collected dust bunnies in part of your Xbox. All you need to do there is just lightly blow into the back of the disk tray while it's open. It also depends on if it is standing or on it;s side. If it is on it side then dust bunnies and if it is standing theit's either dust bunnies or a functioning problem. All in all it's probably just dust. Good luck with your xbox, hope it's not broken!

Sounds like the drive is very dirty, or going out. Try cleaning it, or just replace it.

SOURCE: 360 grinding noise and unplayable disc

Crack open the DVD case and see whats going on and try fixing it yourself. OR Buy a new drive off of eBay and transfer the firmware key over from the old drive too the new one.

SOURCE: My xbox 360 wont load any games.

It has happened to me twice and unfortunately the only way to solve it is sending the device to msoft. You can do this either through the phone or using the xbox.com site.

The second time it happened to me the machine was out the warranty, they offer me to pay 87 € to fix it and extended the warranty for an extra year after it.

At the end when I send it the second time they just sent me a refurbished one to avoid the problem to happen in the future.

Xbox 360 model 1439

There's a number of YouTube videos about replacing laser lenses on Xbox 360s.
Probably a good idea to watch a few of them - only you can determine if it's something you can do yourself.

My Xbox 360 makes a loud humming noise while i play

The Xbox 360 does not like to be moved when playing a disk some of the mechanics may have misaligned or slightly out of sync this may be reason the DVD drive is making those sounds.

I strongly recommend you remove any visible dust from the 360 especially the sides and air vent holes using a vacuum cleaner. Once youve cleaned it place it horizontal (never on carpet) on a flat surface well ventilated away from other devices that generate a lot of heat.

As for the 'shredding sound', place in **** game into the 360 when it starts to make those sounds again gently tap the 360 on top (where the DVD drive is) until it stops making that sound. This doesnt always work but has for me and many others.

My experience tells me that dust can build up not only inside the 360 but also the drive itself which can lead disc read errors and the sounds and you mentioned.

Remember DUST and HEAT is the 360's biggest enemy and can cause RROD, 1 Red Light Problem, and disk errors.

Hope this helps..good luck!

My xbox keeps saying unreadable disk when i put in saints row 2

Well the disc driver obviously works on most of your games except saints row 2. Saints row 2 is in mint condition well i have this problem too with my 360 it reads some games and it doesn't read my other ones well theirs a few ways one is by leaving the game inside of the console and shut it down wait like 5 seconds and turn it back on.
Another is to make sure the laser its self doesn't have dust on it.
And when you put in a disc listen to it as it spins if makes any weird scratching noise its probably the laser hitting the disc a lot of 360s disc have been getting scratched recently due to the fact in microsoft's original design of the disc drive the laser keeps on hitting the disc and scratching it so if thats the case you have to replace the disc drive.
If solutions don't help let me know i might be able to help you more.
