Sure it is, when was the last time you had a dreamcast on? even the drive is louder than 360

I can turn mine on right now as I still play it too, And other than hearing the drive moving back and forth, Its nothing like the 360. But Hey, as you said maybe your dreamcast is faulty...

apparently the BenQ drives are quieter, but ive not experienced one so I cannot comment personally.

I'd advise against putting your xbox 360 in a cupboard, unless its air conditioned

My mate has a BenQ and its louder than my samsung!

Luck of the draw. Thats all there is to it.

Have to disagree

My 'quiet' xbox360 is annoyingly loud
Especially after playing on a silent PS3

Still love the bugger though

I've never had a loud 360, but I've got PC's around me 24/7. Even then, my 360's are both pretty quiet, even when spinning discs at full pelt. The drives are a bit louder than my PC's drives, but they'd be louder too if you took them out of their huge enclosure (compared to the 360)!

My mate has a release console and I have just bought my Xbox on Boxing day (2007). It came with the new falcon motherboard and HDMI socket but doesnt seem much quieter than my mates.

As people have already said, its luck of the draw!
