If it spins for ten seconds and is quiet for thirty seconds, that totals
forty seconds, the size of the buffer. I don't see how you calculated 1:30.
It's also possible that you notice the mechanical noise only when a track is
fragmented or when the playing sequence requires significant shifts across
the disc surface. When the next forty seconds' worth physically follow imme-
diately where the current forty seconds' worth end, there is no head position
shift to go with the spin-up, so it's harder to hear.
