File this under completely unfounded rumor, but a German site has noticed that journalists with debug Xbox 360s have gotten an update that quiets down Xbox 360 DVD drives. We're not sure how a drive could get physically quieter, so they the firmware update probably just updates the console to load more data into cache so the drive has to run less.
