I'll bet a bollock that the tab holding the wires in the first photo has gotten slightly deformed under tension and is making a noise...Well my second exchange is sorted, they are going to fast track it.
The experienced CS I spoke to didn't believe Coil Whine was real, that it is always the fan been noisy, rather than anything else.
Here's my photos as requested. @FrankWza
Mebbe bend it back.Is that something that can be fixed on the users end of it is?
You can appeal this situation through the distributor, which needs to comply by the rules of his residence. And if that does not work we have here office which is about customer rights and you can say this distributor does not want to comply with stated law. I was in that situation with sound card back in the 2000s. It worked and I got nearly card 2x the price, which I am still using it today.

Or is it just that hard-core Sony fans are having these issues and saying nothing to protect 'their' brand?Its a thing that happens to only few hard-core xbox fans that bought ps5. Weird no ? Bye
The notion of console shell burning and turning dark is laughable. The console shell doesn't reach 35°C let alone to a temperature that can burn it.
I've got a really good sound system, and don't play with headphones ever. It's just not acceptable to me. Plus I use it for media streaming as well. Rather not have one than have to put up with that tbh.
is this on a ps4, ps4pro or ps5... on a ps4pro remove the console from behind the glass doors of the entertainment center , and drill a hole in the top over the fan...

(the intel fan does not work, just using it as a fan cover, and to prevent things from being placed on top... look closely i also added a screen to prevent dust, OR you could just remove the top of the ps4pro and no need for modification of the console... interesting thing about the cover of the ps4pro it is "just" has a decorative funtction... nothing is really exposed when you take of the top... on the other hand, my ps4pro is a preorder unit, one of the first, so maybe it has a quietr fan in it... never noticed the fan noise...)
btw, download on ipad, i can not get rid of the dual photo thing... for some reason it (neogaf) stacks the same photo...

Sounds worth it.
It sound of magnetic field, but that's just a detail : )

Well if your audio equipment cost you thousands and you can still hear the PS5 over it. Either you've been completely ripped off for your set up or your specific PS5 is about to blow up.
The money spent on consoles is relative, for some its a luxury item that is hard to come by for others it is a throwaway piece of equipment and essentially cheap plastic that represents imcredible value.

Borderlands, destiny 2, Demon Souls. Any game that makes the GPU in the PS5 work ramps up the power draw and causes the coil whine. Astro does not really tax the system so the whine is minimal. At least in my case the sound is definitely NOT the fan. This might be the downside of the variable clock rate on the SOC. The varying power draw causes varying amounts of whine. I wish Sony had taken the time to properly dampen their power supply.
I was going to say, my PS5 makes a little noise when playing games (zero if I'm playing media), but it's literally the same sound my PC makes when playing GPU-intensive games, which I can easily mute with my headphones. Maybe what some people are experiencing is worse?
Were you installing off a disc? It was probably just disc vibration which isn't uncommon. After installation the disc is basically just a form of DRM and stop spinning once the license is verified.
Maybe. I can't imagine worse whine than my 3080 and it's not bothering me so I will see once ps5 is here
The vibrations coming from the disc drive and producing this noise makes it even more obvious to me that the disc drive version was an afterthought.
Well thing is, that coil whine is more like a feature than bug or fault. It has really no effect on how console performs, etc. Issue would be, if the PSU would be somewhat bad and caused issues with the system.
Hey could you look at the bottom where you console was made? My brother also has PS5 Disk version and his was made in Japan and it has basically zero coil whine even with ear next to it. It was the first wave of PS5s...Have had mine now for a few weeks, and so far no coil whine at all and to be honest, unless i get up and put my ear right next to it, i don't even hear the fan running, and when i do listen up close it's just a light fan sound. And that is after 3 hrs of Demons Souls.
I've platinumed Astro, played a ton of Demons Souls, and now alot of Sackboy also, and i've been blessed i guess by having one of the "silent" ones.
I feel really bad for you guys that are having the bad coil whine. For what it's worth here is my setup for where it is....plenty of space on all sides, vertical, and i use ethernet, not WIFI.
I hope you guys having the issues get it all sorted out. I read how some of you are getting that buzzing noise right out of the box when you first start up your replacements from Sony. That definitely is bad hardware, or faulty QC, or a combination of the two.
The point I am trying to make is my near new console is vibrating! Why would this be happening? Is it due to the console stand not being great or is my console faulty? I do have it lying flat as well.
Long enough? You had the console for a month and you have had it long enough to see all the hardware problems that may or may not appear after a year or two of use???
I can't hear this picture of your PS5, either. This picture is amazingly quiet.Have had mine now for a few weeks, and so far no coil whine at all and to be honest, unless i get up and put my ear right next to it, i don't even hear the fan running, and when i do listen up close it's just a light fan sound.

I wish my PS5 was a quiet as that picture.
I couldn't hear any coil whine on my PS4 Pro over the fan noise. I guess Sony solved one problem and introduced another. The fans on PS5 are pretty quiet, not XSX quiet, but quieter than PS4 for sure and I guess that is what really matters.
