PS3 slim its not as loud as the fat PS3.....thats wrong!

I have a ps3 slim, i do love it, but when i brought it people alwats told me the ps3 slim was better in everyway then the fats. But i went to a friends house the other day and it was loading up the blacks op campaign from the start, and no noise at all from the disc drive, fan as louder but apart from that not as near enough as annyoing the disc drive sound.
So i went home that evening and did the same started the black ops campaign from start and i could hear the disc drive going click click click for ages, and i though is my ps3 slim defect i mean the slims are suippose to be quieter right lol.
So everytime i play a game im always looking out for the loading nosies. its at its worst when loading a saved game off resistance 2, i asked my mate to look out for it on his resistance game and nope no constant click click click, its a night mare during late night gaming on the slims.
Whats your opinions on this?

The later gen fat PS3's are as quiet as any slim. fact.

I find that the Slim is quieter than my original PS3 but it also runs much hotter too. Must be something to do with the fans.

The clicking noise that everyone is talking about is the sound of the metal inside the slim expanding because of the heat. After the console is off the plates will often click back to their original state. I have a slim and it does get somewhat loud. It isn't extremely quiet either, as while playing a game you can still hear noise coming from it, but I guess that's normal.

When it is loading a game pick it up and shake it around a bit, that will make the disc spin faster and load a lot quicker. When the fan is really picking up speed it's just because a wire has gotten loose from the air and it can't detect the internal temp. Smack it really hard on the top of the system. That will make the wire settle in and the fans should stop...Nuck81

And when it starts to emit too much heat, place a thermal ice pack near the back of the console to keep it cool

Mine is quiet when im about 12 inches away from it. But when i go beside it i can hear the disc dive noise. but when playing open world free roam games and everytime a game loads.
