A few different ones. At least one was a 60GB as well.
And the fans are loud to me. Clarity is more important than volume. I don't have up to 1500 WATTS on demand to go loud, but to support a massive dynamic range.
And there is not one fan in my entire stereo cabinet. You can also crank the volume control on my stereo to max without signal and you will have complete silence - no external interference noise.
I'm guessing the PS3's fans according to reports, cranks up pretty badly after 30 minutes to an hour into a Blu-Ray. People are complaining that its so loud that they can hear it over simple audio dialog from the movie. So it seems I am not the only one.

PS. As long as you aren't playing a game, or watching a movie, this won't happen to you:
My old fan on my video card couldn't even get that loud.
Here is a another:
PPS. Typical forum questions:
I heard good things about how silent the PS3 was, but since I bought a 60GB about 6 weeks ago im finding the fan very loud. No matter what im doing, playing a game, watching a film, or just simply leaving the console on, the fan will come on and become loud after about 10 minutes. The fan can clearly be heard over films. Also the fan doesnt quieten down until I turn the console off. The top (right hand side) also becomes hot to touch.
