Hello
I am going to be upgrading to a new camera and I am considering a Canon 60D. Can anyone give me any pros or cons about this camera, and if you have one, do you like it? Would you recommend it? Currently I have a Rebel XTi, and I would be shooting mostly portrait work.
Thanks!

The primary deficiency of the 60D for portraiture is the lack of a PC port. The 60D only has a hot shoe to trigger and external flash. Fortunately the 60D also has the ability to act as a commander/controller in a wireless flash scenario, which makes it more versatile than otherwise. There are also third-party devices to add a PC port as needed.
Couple the 60D with a few appropriate lenses and a few flashes and flash modifiers and you should be good to go for portraiture.

the 60D is a good upgrade but portrait work is more about lighting

I haven't noticed mine as being too loud - however there are two modes of silent shooting available in the menu - try those if you haven't already. I keep mine on mode 2. Good luck and congrats on the new camera!
