Does Your PS5 Make a Loud Weird Noise?

Hi everyone.

I have noticed that my PS5 has some sort of weird noise and it's loud.

I just need to check if you own a PS5 do you have the same issue or not?

  • I haven't noticed any weird noises but I also haven't been listening for one.

    Sounds like coil whine. It’s ‘normal’ but you can warranty for a replacement if it bugs you too much.

    • Thank you, finally someone heard it too.

      When i play at night, it bothers me a lot.

      So is that common?

        It’s a common complaint but not all PS5s emit it that loud. You’ll find some games will be louder than others too.

        It’s normal for all electronic devices to have coil whine. It shouldn’t be that loud though but there’s no harm in it.

        If it bothers you, get it replaced with another unit. Could be a long wait but that’s life.

        Listening to it again, could also just be fan noise. Hard to tell.

        • Thanks mate

      • I'd say it's pretty common for that sound to bother people.

    Don't have that issue I have the new hardware revision of the PS5 no coil wine and has a new fan design I believe. Seems to be quite so far.

    • Do you have the digital version that got revised?

      • Yeah

      • +1

        Physical disc version was revised too.

        • New stand screw
        • Magically 300g lighter for reasons unknown*
        • NMB fan revision 3 with 23 blades (good)*
        • Allegedly new wireless chipset*
        • Possibly other hardware revision yet TBC

        *Not fully confirmed by teardown yet.

          apparently its the screws as to why its lighter lol

    It's screwed - I'll give you $20 for it

    • $75 and a family size mars bar and I'll get it for you

      • Why are you guys trying to rip a fellow ozbargainer?

        I'll match above offer and will add some extra lollies.

        • +1

          Willing to up the lollies by offering a few old books I have lying around to fill in your spare time without your PS5

    sounds like a fan to me?

  • Don't have that issue. As someone else suggested, sounds like coil whine if you want to google it further.

  • Lay it down horizontally.

    Or else, use headphones.

  • Bahaha this is like the Mosquito sound ring tone challenge back early 2000s

    My disc version doesn't have that problem if it was me I would get it replaced

  • Thanks to everyone wanted to help.

    I will call Sony today and try to return it.

    • Ask them if they could replace it

      • Already on it, i lodged a case and they asked me to send them a video showing the noise before they proceed.

          Let us know what they say
