Wondering how loud the Xbox One is gonna be when it’s running? According to Albert Penello (Senior Director of Product Management and Planning at Microsoft) it’s “dead silent”.
Responding to a fan question via Twitter, Penello said the following:
@LikChan It’s DEAD SILENT. Quiter than the new slim 360’s.
We aren’t going to take him word for word – it can’t be dead silent, but we are going to say that you can expect not to hear it when playing a game. This will be good news to those of us who had loud Xbox 360s. Also given the Xbox One’s multimedia capabilities, in addition to playing (loud) games, having a quiet system will be nice.

Here’s to quieter consoles!
As long as it doesn’t RROD like my first Xbox 360 did (2 days after buying one for launch) I will be happy.
