Yes, it does that. Yes, it is normal. The R90 runs through a cycle of
winding up the motor, reading ~30 seconds worth of data from the disc,
winding down the motor to a lower power state, and playing back from the
buffer. This cycle repeats itself every 30 seconds or so. The "grinding"
noise you hear is the motor speeding up.
