    The Xbox360 read the discs perfect but the cdrom is making a rattling noise, when I take the game out stops.

    When I put in a disc, it messes up the disc with loud rattling. When I turn it on normally, it's tray automatically opens. When I turn it off, it closes, but then opens again.

Is it doing this while the disc is in the drive? Also does it sound like a loud rattling sound?

SOURCE: weird noises

It could be the magnet which holds the disc in place. It might be loose and out of center. It is held in place by some adhessive/ glue. You can either open the box and glue it yourself, which voids your warranty, or take it to a support center. MS leaves one year extra warranty with each repair (if still?!). but you may be charged around 100$ for it :(

Xbox 360s makes a weird sound when it reads a disc and shuts down

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

Xbox 360 elite console makes 2 weird noises and says open tray when putting in any discs.how to fix it

I've fixed open tray errors before, and if you are sure the problem is with the 360 and not the disc, it means you need to open the dvd drive and slide the laser over once or twice (at least based on my experience). BE CAREFUL. The mechanism that allows the laser to move around and read the disc is probably jammed.
