just in general? or has this recently started?

xboxes are very loud anyway. the disc drive sounds like a jet engine at times.
install a game to the HDD and play it, if the noise has gone then you know its just the disk drive being loud (normal)

otherwise its the fan, which probably means you are coming close to a RRoD.

I think it's fair to ask how old the thing is. Didn't the earlier ones' GPUs rely on a different manufacturing process and that meant that the older ones ran hotter?
