Me ears are very sensitive to the Coil Whine my launch day PS5 had.

How is the Pro performing in this subject?

Thanks!!

Christ will you give us a couple minutes to tear the paper wrap at least?

You’ll need to ask the delivery driver.

 

[lh032]

so far....no.

Im praying hard.

I wish we could also evolve to not hear the low frequency HDD vibrations... These would drive me crazy.

 

[dreamstation]

Mine seems fine. Had THE FINALS running earlier and couldn't hear anything unless I put my ear down next to the machine itself and even then it didn't sound any louder than the OG PS5.

 

[DinoD]

Mine is dead silent......... haven't plugged it in yet.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Mine is dead silent......... haven't plugged it in yet.

Mines dead silent too.
It wasn't delivered nor did I have any games to test because the idiots can't deliver disc drives.

 

[DavidGzz]

Fuck, I'm going to have to sleep downstairs in the bright ass living room to not miss my shipment...

Edit: Tracking says it should arrive today. I presigned. Never had any issues with porch pirates so far..

 

[Embearded]

My original PS5 has noticeable coil whine in Forbidden West menus.
When i get mine (not sure when), this is the first game i will test for coil whine.

I knew this would happen, so I secured my disc drive the moment the official news about the PS5 Pro dropped.

And of course, the disc drive is now out of stock in most of Europe...

 

[Putonahappyface]

Quieter than my original PS5 Disc Edition and that was practically silent! I'm currently installing games and it's barely audible!

Sony must have implemented better sound proofing.

 

[ComboBongo]

I really hope it doesn’t! I’m about to plug mine in.

Also useful for ignoring the wife while trying to game.

 

[TrebleShot]

Completely silent so far.
Even quieter than my slim.

I don't know why this came to mind lol. Just joking here. Hopefully no one has to deal with those people.

 

[emivita]

I'm partially deaf so wtf cares.

at least didn't pay 400 mil for it

I recently noticed that my launch day PS5 no longer has coil whine. It was very noticeable the first few months. I’m not sure if it’s because I can no longer hear it, or if it actually stopped.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

In the menus it's quiet, quieter than my PS5 before. Didn't try a game yet, downloading. So far, so good.
(I dislike the USB A to C not being in the front anymore. My headset dongle is in the back now, hopefully there won't be any interference or sound drop outs)

I’m guessing when you click to start a game the fan will instantly ramp up and it will be at least as loud as the slim. Keep us posted.

On topic: very silent

Off topic: ps5 - ps5 data transfer not working for anyone else? I'm on the same network and it's not working. Tried via ethernet and wifi and it keeps giving me an error after a long wait.
The error message is a simple "can't transfer data"

This is relevant to me.

 

[cormack12]

It's silent. But I'm confused. How can I hear silence, if it's silent.

i didnt try this method, i just move my M2 SSD to my PRO, and reinstall the game and set up the settings again.

Have a feeling the data transfer feature works wonky.

 

[cormack12]

Mine auto downloaded all my saves as well

[HeisenbergFX4]

Mine is silent

Its on now with no other noise in the house and I don't hear it and haven't heard it at all while gaming

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

It's silent. But I'm confused. How can I hear silence, if it's silent.

If somebody purchases a 30th anniv Pro on Sonys website, but the POST request never reaches the server and nobody sees it. Did it really happen?

 

[Markio128]

Mine hasn’t made a sound since the initial beep.

If the aliens from the Quiet Place show up, we’ll be fine.

 

[ComboBongo]

So far the fan is noticeably louder than the OG console. Not loud, but louder. Haven’t noticed coil whine yet though. Not over the fan anyway.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Similar to being everywhere, is to be nowhere.

[analog_future]

hehehheh.... unit

 

[gooner4life_uk]

I'm very disappointed, it's loud in game, not PS4 or PS4 Pro loud, but it's audible, I can hear the fan, I never heard the fan on my OG PS5

 

[DanielG165]

You’ll need to ask the delivery driver.

Now that’s funny, well done lol.

 

[dem]

One thing I will never trust the internet about...

"Its quiet! Totally silent! I can't hear anything!"

*get device home

 

[[Sigma]]

It used to be quiet but now it has coil whine. I can't hear it when playing a game so it's whatever.

 

[welshrat]

Quiet in menus and home. A little louder fan wise when gaming. Nothing bad at all but louder than I would have wanted. Best console for noise had to be the series x but I sold that as was not used. My launch PS5 was quieter by a tiny amount.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

I have to agree with the commenters above. My PS5 was quieter, goddamn it Sony. Premium price for worse quality.

 

[Luipadre]

Its about the same as my OG. Menu is silent, but you can hear the fan while gaming if there is no other noise around you

 

[gooner4life_uk]

I could hear a coil buzz while gaming on PS5 but never the fan, PS5 Pro you can't hear coil whine because the fans so loud

 

[acidagfc]

I only had coil whine with OG unit in Horizon 2.
No whine with Pro, but a more noticable fan sound.

EDIT: Now that I have downloads complete and just run Horizon 2, it is nearly silent.

OG PS5 owner, my PS5 is as dead silent now as it was when i first got it years back. And thats after long gaming sessions. The only thing i hear and i have to put my ear right near the back of the console is a slight fan sound.
