Before I bought my Xbox 360, I was slightly reluctant because I heard that it was really loud. Then I heard the updated HDMI models were less likely to have hardware failure and were also quieter. So, I bought an Xbox 360 on August 16. I opened it up and realized it did not have HDMI. Then I turned it on and expected it to be loud. But it wasn't. Sure, it makes a tiny bit of noise but I can hear it only when the volume is muted. So, did I get a 360 that is halfway in between a launch model and an HDMI model, or have people just exagerrated the noise that the original model makes?
