This is what your PS5 should sound like.

This is what a quiet normal functioning PS5 should sound like.

This PS5 is equipped with the Delta fan (if you have a Nidec fan, your PS5 will make more of a hissing noise and whistle because it has 17 larger blades).

Refer to this site for reference:

Do not send your PS5 back if it has coil whine like this because chances are you'll end up getting an even louder PS5 back.

PS5 Owners: Wow. That’s nice
PS4 Pro Owners: “Coach Class Passengers seating. Please turn off all cellular devices during take off”

It's so weird going from my little jet engine PS4 to the extremely quiet giant PS5

Best way I can describe it is one of those old ass fridges in a convenience store at night

[marcosbano]

So this is the “super noisy” coil whine? After •ps4 airlines• this is beautiful.

Update: I’ve changed the thermal paste and the thermal pads and now my ps4 is fucking silent. I mean, I can now play without headphones and actually hear everything. You can find a lot of video here in YouTube about this.

Right now your looking at a very rare species that only the most exclusive of people can get.

[azyduzt]

this is literally not a problem, you wouldn’t notice it and it’s so quiet.

[zaydhassan]

I don't even have a ps5 why am i watching this

New ps5 owner: wow thats so loud










Veteran ps4 player : 👁️👄👁️

This is accurate. I can't believe how quiet mine is

[justpeachee]

I’ve honestly gotten used to the sound now. It’s is in the back of my mind and doesn’t bug me anymore

[TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Also I tested this with Astro's Playroom not Demon's Souls, ignore the first caption 🤦.

[MaybeOrangeJuice]

What the hell is up with mine then? Keep thinking the people in my basement are trying to escape!

[picsoleated]

The mic on whatever this is recording on is increasing its volume because it's so silent. I can't even hear mine and it's on my desk

[roygrimes]

I also love how quiet my ps5 is. It's so quiet it's like I don't even have one.

[malazan]

Mine isn't really audible unless you go up close like in this video. It's a very quiet console I love it

[danieldevito]

Your PS5 it's actually loud compared to mine. When mine is running, you could be standing next to it and still not hear it.

[JadeyJdy]

Well at least the ps5 doesn’t sound like a goddamn jet taking off in my room

[eggaddendum]

Ok but it does that for like 1 minute then is completely quiet again

[diegoviramontes]

Damn bro. Ps5 is so powerful even the console itself has accurate reflection.

I had to book a flight with Expedia every time i wanted to play a game on my ps4 pro. Now that i have a ps5, im saving a lot of money. And have gained hearing back in my left ear.
