It's the same for both the 360 and PS3, some units are loud, others are whisper quiet, you just tend to find slightly more 360s fall in the loud category hence why it has received the reputation as 'the jet engine'

Yep. I've only heard a few loud PS3's, just a shame I have one.
Quietest console is Wii, whether this is because it's genuinely quiet or because no self-respecting gamer plays then is yet to be decided.

Funny you should say that, my Wii is my loudest console, but the optical drive is shafted in it and the only person that uses it is my wife for her Sports Active thingy.

My 360 on the dashboard is one fan level up from my PS3 on the XMB, so it's not so bad, but christ when I put a Game or DVD in it literally sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel, I can get around that easy enough by installing the game to HDD, just a bit of a pain.

You've set yourself up for it, but:
'You should be used to that after years of the PS3'.

Yeah I'm happy to install games to the HDD, I'm not one of these that's ever had a problem with it, if it speeds up load times and keeps things quiet I am all for it!

I'd do it if I had the space
