not really, it depends on the manufacturer of the DVD-ROM drive
Xbox 360s tend to break because these are basically sophisticated computers in miniature boxes with lots of ventilation and high-tech pieces, not since of the drive
Hitachi-LG drives (which is what's present in mine) are the loudest of them all by far -- it's really sometimes hard to bear, it spoiled Oblivion for me but I found the game to suck anyway
Samsungs are supposedly a lot quieter, but still it's a DVD disc that spins at 12x DVD, it's inevitably going to make a lot of noise
and there are new Philips-engineered drives, I don't know how much noise they make... I'd like to know that actually
