I'd like to stop the SuperDrive from spinning up after coming out of sleep since the noise it makes is quite loud. The SuperDrive was 'fixed' at an authorized retailer a while back and it's made a lot of noise ever since. This is a 3 year old white MacBook, so it's out of warranty.
Is there a way to not have it check for disks after opening the lid?

You can disable the Superdrive if you set your account up under parental controls.
Under Preferences > Accounts (Users under Lion) > Enable parental controls > other > check limit cd and dvd burning
This should do the trick.
