In my experience the average gaming PC and XBox 360 (often compared to a jet engine taking off by users) produce more noise than a PS3. Of course you can built a low-spec passively cooled PC or invest in some expense liquid cooling system. The average Mac in my experience produces less noise than the average PC as well.
My Blu-Ray drive is far more silent spinning and the PS3 harddrive seems to be well isolated within my PS3 as I hear it even less than the one in my laptop sitting next to it.
