It's NOT normal. Take it back to your dealer.

Mine makes a clicking sound from the CD drive. It clicks continuously a little faster than once/sec. It starts anywhere from a minute to 30 minutes after waking/starting up. It only happens when there is no CD in the drive and will stop if press the eject key (or sleep then wake the computer).

My new 800 combo makes a ticking sound occasionally, that I've decided is coming from the hard drive, but I guess it isn't necessarily. It really just sounds like it's trying to run a clock in there with really random seconds - I've taken to ignoring it, and it's good to hear I'm not alone, but I got a bit worried looking at the 'hard drive clicking' thread in the PowerMac forum.
Anyway, my previous 600 combo had no such issue.

I've got it...on my new 800...don't think it's a problem (seems to coincide with hard drive access). Doesn't sound abnormal to me, but I'm going to keep my eye on it, just in case.
