Sounds like a hair dryer, oh lord.

Slide the PS5 to the middle of the shelf my friend, also make sure the back is vented.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

So it's just noisy?

EDIT: Oh, OK. Yeah, that seems really noisy.

 

[roosnam1980]

it is loud but how many games has he tested it with?
also that shelf is way too small

 

[SEGAvangelist]

He tested it outside of the shelving as well.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I have never heard my fat PS5 kick up like that once since launch. Jesus that sounds like the ps4 jet engine.

 

[lh032]

is this another overreacting "it happens to me so it must happen to you" video or its really a widespread issue?

 

[roosnam1980]

He tested it outside of the shelving as well.

he said if he placed it in the open he will have the issue...........................

 

[TheRedRiders]

he said if he placed it in the open he will have the issue...........................

Off topic but your profile pictures always seem to catch me off guard lol

 

[Liamario]

That's too noisy, but he does have it on a shelf with little space. Sounds like my now sold ps4

 

[64bitbros]

Send it back. Its faulty. It happens.

Edit:
Wait. New one as well?

 

[VinnyMac]

Let's smoother it and cry when the fans kick on show me it that loud outbound the cube

 

[ManaByte]

"So you thought the era of the jet engine fans was over?"

 

[Midn1ght]

He got 3 different SLIM and had the same issue every time?

So it's just noisy?

Yeah, seems to be working fine but the fans are really loud, reminds me of the PS4 Pro.

it is loud but how many games has he tested it with?

I mean, it's Fortnite, shouldn't be that loud.
Space is fine and he tested it outside of the shelve didn't he?
What are you suppose to do with these things, store them in your fridge?

Anyway, maybe the guy was just extremely unlucky.

 

[Mithos]

Send it back. Its faulty. It happens.

He did that's his THIRD PS5 slim with the exact same issue.

 

[squidilix]

PS5 Fat Quiet Race

 

[Sleepwalker]

To be fair my dude ain't the sharpest tool in the box. He had a perfectly fine PS5 which he exchanged for the Spiderman one, which for some reason hes trying to replace with the slim now.

What do you think?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

His wording is strange there and all he has to do is not worry about keyboard warriors and just let it get air then record a video showing if its loud

If this machine was loud like this we would have TONS of videos like this by now

 

[The Cockatrice]

He prolly bought them from Aliexpress. Jokes aside, curious to see if its a widespread issue.

 

[64bitbros]

Not gonna lie. Sounds fishy. There are a ton of units out there. Many many review units. Nothing about loudness. And now he has 3.

Or, its a small channel trying to get traction.

 

[SportsFan581]

Seems like it is quite a bit louder even here, but the tone isn't that bad pitch wise. It wouldn't surprise me if the guy in the OP doesn't have the back of the shelf vented.

That's the disc drive lol. The disc noise does seem to be louder than the OG model though.

 

[Loomy]

I imagine if this is an issue they'll update the fan curves soon.

 

[Magic Carpet]

The value of my quiet launch PS5 just increased!

I've always traded in my large fat consoles for the new smaller models. Will need to keep my eyes on this issue, as I love the quietness of my FAT.

 

[//DEVIL//]

While i think the Slim is ugly and a mistake, I think this guy is just trying to grab attention.

none of his videos showed the PS5 noisy while its outside this TV table. for all we know he could have a small hair dryer or small vacuum cleaner that is under the PS5 and made it sound like its coming from the PS5.

if a PS5 this loud, you would have heard it in reports and everything. the fan is barely smaller than the original PS5 and even the housing is barely any smaller than the PS5 fat. just uglier.

 

[Elios83]

If this was an issue it would have been reported by tons of people and reviewers already.
Either he's unlucky or there's something weird in how he uses the console or it's a story to grab attention/spread FUD.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's Ps4 pro all over again. Grap the fat one while you can folks.

 

[StereoVsn]

"So you thought the era of the jet engine fans was over?"

Half the reason I got PS5 at launch was because PS4 Pro sounded like a jet engine.

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

My PS5 is fat but it's silent, and always has been

 

[acm2000]

come on people, that shelf is more than big enough to have airflow for a console.

guy is either real unlucky or trolling

 

[Skifi28]

The PS5 is not fat, it's all muscles.

 

[Warnen]

I returned my regular one for a slim (so got spider man 2 and cod for free). Haven't had a day off to play around with it yet and only did A few strikes in destiny but haven't noticed anything. I'll get back to spider man on my day off give it a go.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

No one that reviewed it mentioned this. But a single person had this on 3 units.

Sure

 

[GoldenEye98]

Possibly a firmware update needed?

 

[Kindela]

Youtube was a mistake.

 

[Topher]

MrFunSocks should be unbanned to bring back his house on fire analogies.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Easiest way to fix this is to buy a PlayStation Portal so you don't need to be in the same room with the console. Now it's starting to make sense!

 

[SportsFan581]

That's the disc drive lol. The disc noise does seem to be louder than the OG model though.

I don't have a PS5, so my basis for comparison is the XSS/XSX. Both of which are inaudible even a foot away from the consoles. For me the fan seems a little loud there (even when the disk isn't running), but definitely not like the OP video.

 

[simpatico]

Geez everyone knows that any piece of hifi gear must be kept on a podium next to an open window with at least 3 cubic meters of open space around it. Rookie mistake. I've got a rather large stereo set up and a few consoles, so I had to find a house with a 50x75 living room. Super doable though.

 

[twilo99]

Just wait for gamer nexus to test it and you will have your answer on overall performance, especially cooling.

 

[Connificent]

PS5 Soulja Boy edition

 

[Ansphn]

He has a white noise maker right behind the PS5 Slim. This guy is full of shit. Why would it run that loud when youre not playing anything at all? Even the PS4 jet engine didnt run that loud at all times.

 

[TheRedRiders]

MrFunSocks should be unbanned to bring back his house on fire analogies.

Lmao dam, completely forgot about that whole saga.

 

[MikeM]

Thats why thicc is best.

 

[Neilg]

His shelf is completley enclosed at the back and there is nowhere near enough airflow.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

His shelf is completley enclosed at the back.

He is doing it on purpose for views

 

[Neilg]

Yeah, I just noticed where he positioned it and was about to post the same, nobody can do this by accident without realizing exactly how to solve it.

If you put your hand around the back of the ps5, you can tell where the heat comes out, and hes got the ps5 pushed all the way into the back corner of his enclosed cabinet. If he moved it so it's mostly on the right and pulled it all the way forward to the very edge of the shelf, it likely wouldn't have this issue, even though that cabinet is still far too small for it.
