I bought a Teac 24x drive and while it didn't have a loud vibration problem,
every time it accessed a cd there was an extremely high pitched noise(I
gather that it was from the laser moving back and forth).  It was very
annoying and personally I would rather hear the low rattling sound of a
vibrating cd than the high pitched squeal of the laser accessing a cd.
Needless to say it was returned the next day and I'm still searching for a
quiet cd-rom.
