[comp.sys.apple] Apple disk 3.5 problem?

Recently my Apple 3.5 drive (I have a GS+, oops, I mean GS) has begun to
get a little louder.  Overall it is not loud, but now I can hear low level
'white noise' as the drive (it's not the disk causing the noise)
is spinning.  At times, as the drive slows down to a stop, this 
white noise will get a little louder and I can hear grinding, or 
vibrations right before the drive does stop spinning.

I am getting _no_ read/write errors.  I have a feeling it's all caused by
alot of dust in the drive.  Does/has anyone ever take their drives in to
be cleaned, and did it help?
