SchizoidFreud Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2066860,00.asp The most noticeable fault of the system, the one you'd be most likely to hear about from the largest number of users, is how loud it is. Sitting idly in the Dashboard system interface, the 360 isn't so bad: It's not whisper-quiet, but not annoying. Pop in a game, and it's a whole other story. When that DVD-ROM drive spins up to full 12x speed, it puts out a ton of noise. Fortunately, it spins slower when playing DVD movies, and the HD-DVD add-on drive is very quiet. We've seen plenty of 360 mods around the 'net, most of them centered on making the case look cool or water-cooling the CPU and GPU inside. In our view, silencing or eliminating those rear exhaust fans is a moot point when the optical drive creates a lot more noise. So here, we'll take apart an Xbox 360 and show you a couple of simple tricks applied in an effort to bring down the noise level a bit, without dramatically hacking up the box. All those who didnt trust any scene/underground websites, here's a reputed tech site giving step by step instructions on how to rip apart your 360!

IMBender Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Goodbye, warranty, especially if you are saying "Hello, RingRingRedRingDanceofDeath"! I wonder how many people here have actually tried this, and how much of the jet engine turbine noise they actually managed to knock off once they were done.

Amay Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The one that stopped disc scratching was putting rubber foam around the laser or something like that, it was on lama.com i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godspeed4476 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 strangely ma 360 doesnt make annoying voice ........may be coz i keep it in much more cooler conditions , so the fan doesnt run at full speeds , and as far as noise of the Gaming DVD is concerned i dont think its tht annooying, and besides if u are playing COD 4 deathmatch will u even notice the fan/dvd noise?
