Xbox 360 Fan Noise Comparison

Source: Joystiq

Joystiq has recently rated the fan noise of the Xbox 360 in comparison of other consoles and computers (and one loud clunky refrigerator). Here is was their observation:

You know those car freaks that can identify the make and model of a vehicle simply by listening to the rumble of the engine? The Xbox 360 makes such aural feats easy for us gamefreaks because, well, the sucker is loud.

Here’s how the Xbox 360 ranks in terms of noise output versus the other fan-cooled devices in the apartment.

1. Old, clunky refrigerator
2. Xbox 360
3. PlayStation 2 (fat version, not slim-line)
4. Panasonic PT-AE700U projector
5. GameCube
6. Xbox 360 power supply
7. IBM T42p (Laptop)
8. Dell Latitude C610 (Laptop)
9. iBook G4 (Laptop)

We don’t have an original Xbox to test it against, or we would. Water-cooling mod, anyone?
