Will this Xbox 360 die too!

haha it won't be any quieter than your last one. That's for sure.
Turn up the volume and after the first 60 seconds you will forget about the sound anyway.

My 360 is from 2006 as well. Died 2 times so far, but it's very easy to repair, o no worries, even if your warranty runs out.
