Apparently me and one other person online have this problem, but if anyone else experiences their PS5's disc drive making a persistent, incredibly high pitched, loud whining noise: the only thing you can do is contact Sony and ask for a repair.
Just trying to save y'all a few hours I spent trying to troubleshoot what isn't even a known-issue at this moment.
Update: And just like that...it vanished...I have never been more tense about good news. I left the thing in "Rest" mode for a few hours and came back to glorious silence, I don't know if that's what fixed it, if something just slid into place, or if it reacted badly to my trying to still use it while it downloaded all of my PS4's data. I'll update again if anything changes.
