It's been 6 months since I last owned a 360. Since then I've played nothing but PS2 and PS3 (both very quiet consoles). Today I bought another 360, which has the latest BENQ disc drive, but after booting up Lost Odyssey it sounded like an airplane was getting ready for take off. Is this seriously the quietest disc drive available?

It's funny, but when I play something like Mass Effect my 360 sounds like the flight deck of an aircraft carrier... but when playing Oblivion it runs quietly... but yeah, if you're used to playing on other consoles, 360 is loud...

Some of the drives make less noise on when placed on their side, then upright. I mean a fair amount less. Should try it.

It is too loud. I will pla on the ps3, then the 360 and I will be like 'wha???!!!'

But if you play it for a while you dont notice it, it takes time for your ears to block out such a sound.

But yeah, its as loud as a tornado (plane kind).
