My PS3 slim has also been making that same disc noise including the vibrating, started within the past few months. No fan noise, but my ps3 runs hot, very hot to the touch even. The ps3 makes the noise not all the time but around 25% of the time, the system is mostly used to play movies.



Throw it on the ground! It wont make noise anymore!
Sorry - not helping.

First thing I would do is check troubleshooting on Playstation website.
Also make sure the console has plenty of room to ventilate.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash
