Re: Xbox 360 Help.
Sounds like your fans are working overtime. Make sure it's not overheating (not on the floor, away from walls, etc), because that can lead to RRoD.

Yeah, the floor collects dust and that will clog the fans and whatnot, and having it close to a wall prevents the proper airflow it needs to keep cool.

Re: Xbox 360 Help.
I'd get a soft brush and go over the vents to try and remove dust and the like. Don't run it for a few hours and see how it goes.

Re: Xbox 360 Help.
Put it on a TV tray or medium-sized shelf. In the middle of the room is best. When I'm playing Rockband with it setup like that, I play from 8:45am until around 4:00pm and it doesn't get hot at all, and the fan isn't being abnormally loud.
Things to avoid-
-Walls. Blocks off ventilation.
-Standing the 360 up. Blocks off a main ventilation vent.
-Carpets. They retain and circumvent heat back into the 360, and attract dust into it, clogging the fans.
-Cabinets. Same as walls, traps the hot air near the 360.

Re: Xbox 360 Help.
Blast through the sides with a hairdryer set to cold and see if you can get some of that dust out.

Re: Xbox 360 Help.
My friends Xbox has this symptom and it's classic for RRoD. He's actually had it 3 different times on 3 different Xbox 360s... bad luck at it's finest.

Re: Xbox 360 Help.
Two is minor overheatage, I believe. At least it's being quieter.
Four rings means loose connection to the power cord. Three is the infamous RRoD. You will never get one red light.
