I have the older version MacBook and on startup, it makes whirring noise.

Is there anyway I can stop this or at least make it quieter?

It's very normal, your MacBook should be using a Hard Drive that most Macs use or even all Macs use.
There is no way to make it quieter though,the only way is to purchase Solid State Drive for your Mac that is silent to stop the noise.
