No, the solution is games installing everything to the harddrive and only accessing the disc for copy protection. That's what most PC games do these days, after all... the CDs are just data storage the game dumps on your HDD... and it's also why install sizes are so ridiculous. If newer games accessed the CD in short bursts constantly like KQ5 does I bet that it'd also do that annoying 'spin up, spin down' thing that gets so loud. :) But it's mostly older games that do that.
And yes, now that you mention it I've noticed this (the CD spinning, not the choppy sound... that isn't normal...) in a few other games... not most, certainly, but a few. And it definitely get irritating.
