Really Andro? My PS3 is fairly quite until the fans kick in and then it is fairly obvious that something is going on with it. I generally have to turn up the volume to dumb down teh sound emiting from teh consol. Which version of the PS3 are you using. Mine is the original 60, could be why it is so noisy.

Back on topic. Grats to you Che. I hope that you don't run into this problem in the future again. Then again you are only the second person (now) that I know of that has had any problems with their PS3. Then again the audio on mine has picked up a hum. I tried swapping the cables out but it doesn't seem to of helped. Then again that could be all in my head.
