Default OPPO BDP-103 not loud during playback?

I recently purchased a Panasonic DMP-BDT330 but returned it because while playing blu-rays the drive would be too loud in my opinion for around the first 20 minutes into a blu-ray movie. There was also a high pitched whine to it. After 20 minutes the disc spinning got quieter, 30 minutes later it got quieter again, to a level I could tolerate, and about 1 hour into a movie the disc spinning was very quiet. It was like this for every blu-ray disc I watched (2 blu-rays) on it. I didn't bother watching more blu-rays on it and returned it. I also had a Sony BDP-S5100 before this one and returned it because sometimes the casing would make a buzzing vibration noise when started to play a blu-ray until I touched the top of the player, which I'm convinced that it was the casing of that player that was vibrating, causing that buzzing noise. I still found that player too loud in my opinion as well.

I"m now resorting to using my PC connected to my TV through my receiver for playing blu-rays. The blu-ray drive in my PC is quiet during a whole movie on blu-ray with no high pitched spinning noises either.

Giving up on watching blu-rays is not the answer I"m looking for because I have a growing collection of blu-rays and I prefer the image quality over streaming.

Now I've been considering purchasing an OPPO BDP-103 because it looks like it's built with quality construction in mind. Does the casing on it sometimes vibrate during playback? Is it loud for the first 20 minutes of playing a blu-ray movie? Does it have a high pitched whine while spinning a blu-ray?
