Since no one posted this... I just checked software update.
APparently it'll eliminate the startup noise that you hear from the DVD drive.
Very happy to see this.

Strange... It doesn't do anything.

Even though it states it will after applying the Superdrive Firmware update as well.. -
nvm, i need to read more
-
I updated, but never had the problem it was suppose to fix anyways.
-
Yes you did, Seshan. Everyone with a MacBook Pro did/does. Anyway, you have to run the update, and then you have to do ANOTHER Update, so make sure you do a second Software Update after the first one. I thought the update didn't work either till I did the second one.
Although this update only works on sleep/wake, not power ON DVD-drive sounds, apparently. -
I thought the problem was a munching sound on start up. The only thing I hear on start up is a little zip zip sound, Witch I assume is the optical going back and forth checking for a disk.

Well I still have a zip zip sound even after a full update, Apple says it should stop it from making the sound from start up and wake. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3744

Isn't that the same as saying it'll stop the noise during start up (after a full shut down) or wake (after sleeping it).. -
It stops the noise from happening when resuming from sleep, but I still get it upon startup.
-
Well I never put my computer into sleep, so what a useless update XD
-
I don't put mine to sleep either........I had to literally force it to test what this update did! lol

I just updated my mbp and it actually updated to 1.8? Or did I read it wrong?
EDIT:
So the latest EFI version for Macbook is 1.4 and for Macbook.Pro; it's 1.8.
