I didn't notice a difference on the fan noise but wasn't really paying careful attention. I was playing forza 3 and had the sound cranked up so I could hear the rumble of the engine  The biggest problem I have with the 360 is the dvd noise. One of the 4 times I had my console repaired they had me send in my powersuply unit... this last time they did not. The power supply I have is listed as 203 watts.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but... install your active game to hard drive and your dvd won't be constantly whirring! Much less noise!

Yeah... Problem is I have a launch 20 gig HD... I had to delete tons of arcade game demos just to make room for the 1.9GB of stuff that you are required to install for Forza 3. (there is a second disc that has the tracks and cars that you must install).
Buying a new Hard drive is next on my to do list

The console they gave me is a piece of junk. Lately it has sounded like a jet engine taking off with a horrible grinding noise to boot. This is with or without a DVD in the tray. I called microsoft and they overnighted me yet another box. 6th xbox here i come.... GRRRRRR.
Can you say HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE for a HORRIBLE product?

Man, David, I haven't had nearly your bad luck, and I'm still upset about the 360. I can't imagine how you feel.

It is a flawed product. Was the grinding coming from the disk drive when you were either opening or closing it? My last console I had was really loud like what you describe. The new one I have is quieter. Does your console still function, like reading games or dvds?

Six failures warrants a refund or a brand new one as far as I'm concerned!

Six failures warrants a refund or a brand new one as far as I'm concerned! Indeed! Although I don't think any company will refund your money after a certain time period. However, a non refurbished (brand new) replacement console would be a nice gesture in good faith after all the troubles/console failures.

After 6 failures, they should also be paying for anger management classes.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
