www.ExtremeTech.com have an article up about makeing your 360 quieter.

They concentrate on making the DVD drive produce less noise when it starts up and when playing a game.
Quote:

Idle (at dashboard) 48dB
Playing a DVD movie 50dB
Playing a game (DVD drive spinning full speed) 60dB

And after the modifications? We managed to trim quite a bit of noise out, but it's still not exactly what you would call a "whisper quiet" system:

Idle (at dashboard) 44dB
Playing a DVD movie 45dB
Playing a game (DVD drive spinning full speed) 56dB


Not exactly wisper quite, but if your opening you case to mod yopur 360 probably worth a look
