My experience is the same as TorqueDog's. My newer 360 is very quiet, especially if I am not playing games. If I am sitting in the menu's or watching Netflix it just puts out a barely noticeable hum. The PS3, on the other hand is noticeable. It's not bad enough for me to turn up the volume or anything, but I can definitely tell it's there.
My PS3 is primarily used by my 6 year old for watching movies and playing Skylanders, so it's possible (likely) he hasn't treated it very well. Maybe the fans are gummed up with dust or other junk.
