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.
