If these are regular purchased CDs then I would say that the problem lies in the equipment that you are connecting the CD players and laptop for playback.
If they are burned CDs then you may be getting clipping on them that will cause massive distortion. You can check for this by ripping a track into your PC as a wav file and then opening it with Audacity. There will be red lines showing the spots where clipping is if there is any. When the signal gets louder than the CD can handle the signal is clipped and the distortion occurs. Doesn't matter how low or loud you play it back in this case. If clipping is caused by an amplifier not being powerful enough then you can get rid of it by turning the volume down.
