Ps3 three months old

Ps3 works fine other than a loud himming noise (sounds like a fan) comes on intermittantly. The sound can come on 2 minutes or 20 minutes after I put a disk in. Can be annoying and distracting. Is this normal or should it be fairly quite while in use?

Thank you

    Ive had my PS3 for about a year and a half now and it just started making the loud noise a couple days ago. I seriously doubt that it is normal because it is way too loud and distracting.

I beleive it is normal because mine will come on at various times also. it is just cooling down the components inside the casing. if it didnt come on it would eventualy melt together. as for being distracting you aint got yours sounds pumped up enough. but otherwise dont panic....

True GDM-10 started making loud noise AFTER door was slammed after getting something inside; checked inside fan was running slow. Noise sound like something stuck in motor.

without knowing age of unit, I suggest replacing the motor. Sounds like the armature is worn the bearings and is moving inside the windings of the motor. I would do that first before moving forward with any other repairs.

CD stuck in ps3 horrible noise cant get out HELP!!!

I had the same symptoms. The reason to my problem was that my 2 year old has pushed *three* disks into the console. I got them out through the following, admittedly pretty weird, approach: I hit the eject button, while gently prodding with another disk into the slot (at a slight upward angle). I could feel the disks inside the console rotating or vibrating as I was *gently* touching them with the fourth disk and hitting eject repeatedly. Somehow, the gentle prodding made one of the disk come out a bit, so I could pull it out easily. (I was pretty surprised when a second disk came out, and then a third.)

Pitched noise coming from the fan

When I first got my PS3, It had the annoying high pitched fan sound as well, but went away after a week and has worked fine ever since, no problems at all. I have the 60 gig version, so. Maybe if yours is new you just need to break it in?
