Mine is fine tbh, but I have heard a few other people mentioning the fan noise. You have your PS3 horizontally or vertically?

 

[MrMark]

mines quiet. Make sure its not kept in an enclosed cabinet as alot of heat can build up.

my ps2 use to be well loud but the ps3 aint that bad

cabinet, but open.

Laying flat, 5cm either side of space, top is 7.5cm, not closed, rear enclosed, just on DVD's, annoying, really annoying.

Don't know what to do with it,

Stand it on the side would be my advice.

mine is really quiet - we'll compared to my 360 that is.

alot of heat comes from the rear of the console, to avoid the potental for damage, i suggest you take it out of the cabinet

Id say that's pretty enclosed, i'd reccomend more than the current 3 inches you have at the back.

If that doesnt work turn the volume up on the T.V

Agreed, that sounds fairly enclosed to me too. Mine is hotter and noisier flat so I have it on it's side.
