The 360 sounds like a jet plane, but that's mostly because of the DVD drive. If you play a game from the HDD, it's not nearly as noisy.

I now have two 360s (I gave the older one to my son), and the newer unit is dramatically quieter.  It would appear they've found a way to significantly reduce the DVD drive noise.

As an aside, the heat produced by the new unit is also a lot less.

I don't think there's any question the PS3s have produced more heat than the 360s, it just seems that Sony has its act together when it comes to properly handling the heat.
