As someone who has the PS3 as well, I have not at all been bothered by any fan noise, and it's not because I am deaf.
I know the thing is fairly tightly packed with electronics, and Sony makes a strong point about not letting the airvents get filled with dirt, to avoid overheating. But in reality, here in polluted Washington DC, it has been running just fine without any 'fan in overdrive' kind of issues at all.

It might be that the trip point for the higher fan speeds vary among the various PS3 versions. I don't know. It's not an issue for me when playing games because the sound is usually up loud enough to drown out the fan. On the other hand, the fan is very noticeable during quiet movie scenes.

I'm getting my Logitech Steering Wheel and Gran Tourismo Prologue game this week! Can't wait! More ways to waste time... just what I need. ;-)
