    Default Xbox 360 loudness

    Hey,
    I bought a xbox 360, but it is extremely loud and can get very annoying. Is there anything I can do or buy to lessen this, maybe a cooling device?
    Thanks,
    Hiji

    Nothing you can do about that. That's just how loud it is.

    It's funny, because the new Xbox 360s have a better fan system that is quieter and more effective.

    I know they sell additional coolers, maybe they help with the noise level ?

    I just bought it last week....

    I thought about the fans, but I heard they actually create more noise.

    He means the fans and stuff.

    I've seen quite a few complaints scattered across the internet about this. Maybe you could complain to Microsoft and get a replacement?

    Well is it something that is only affecting a small amount of systems? I simply suspected this was a problem with everyone.

    I wouldn't know how many people have the problem, as i've not looked into it at any depth. Google is your friend, Hiji, Google is your friend!

    I've looked at a few websites, from what i've read, loud fans can sometimes be a sign of overheating. I recommend trying to use a vacumm cleaner to suck out the dust, and put it in a well ventilated area.

    PC fans are just the same, why should 360's?
