If you can hear your PS2 over that then you know you've got problems.
My PC is louder than my PS2 so I can't complain. I have mine (PS2) in a glass fronted cabinet where I'm able to shut the doors and that keeps the noise down.

I still don't know what this whole CD/DVD malarkey is all about. I've never noticed the CD's being louder than the DVD's - I can't see any reason why they would be.
I had my console in a glass fronted cabinet for a while but I only found it annoying whilst watching films in any case - no time to worry about noise whilst gaming!!
