Would you happen to know of a setting to adjust the CD-rom drive speed ?  My USB CD rom is a bit noisy.

I didn't know this until a few months ago. Look at the man page (or consult your favorite search engine) for the command-line command eject and how to use it. It has many options. Here are just two

Code:

      -x <speed>
           With this option the drive is given a CD-ROM  select  speed  com‐
           mand.   The  speed  argument  is  a number indicating the desired
           speed (e.g. 8 for 8X speed), or 0 for maximum data rate. Not  all
           devices support this command and you can only specify speeds that
           the drive is capable of. Every time the  media  is  changed  this
           option  is cleared. This option can be used alone, or with the -t
           and -c options.

      -X   With this option the CD-ROM drive will be probed  to  detect  the
           available  speeds.  The  output  is a list of speeds which can be
           used as an argument of the -x option. This only works with  Linux
           2.6.13  or  higher, on previous versions solely the maximum speed
           will be reported. Also note that some  drive  may  not  correctly
           report  the  speed  and  therefore this option does not work with
           them.
