David,

Not all drives are created equal. Many 32x drives benchmark worse than my plextor 12/20x. Good access time and throughput are both required to get truely excellent performance. The Noise is common with most drives above 6/8x although there is defintely a wide range in the noise produced by various drives. Dell used to sell a Teac 12X which is still the loudest CD I've ever heard.
