Do PS1 games play quietly on a PS2?

Question

I've got a slim silver PS2 and wanted to buy some PS1 games. I've noticed that the PS2 games that come on CDs instead of DVDs (blue disc vs normal silver) spin loudly - it's like I left a hairdryer in my game cabinet! Just like how CDs spin up noisily in a PC or laptop DVD drive - I always found it an obnoxious design flaw.

Well my question is do you know if PS1 games are like this in the PS2? If so I'll probably spend the extra few $$$ to get a PS1 to catch up on my vintage gamez.

Thanks

Answer

I don't recall any PS1 games being particularly noisy in my PS2. Generally the drive speed is slower for PS1 games unless you change the settings in the menu.
