One Finnish magazine made a comparison of the three consoles, and one of them was how loud the systems are.
PlayStation 3:
28,7dB - Blu-Ray -movie
35,8dB - DVD-movie
35,8dB - playing games
23,5dB - doing nothing
XBox 360:
38,1dB - HD-DVD -movie
35,7dB - DVD-movie
~44dB - playing games
36,0dB - doing nothing
Wii:
32,3dB - playing games
22,9dB - doing nothing
So I guess there's something wrong with your PS3. Of course each of the systems may have some bad copies, causing much louder noise than what it should be. And on the other hand, some systems may be more quiet than what those dBs show.
