Players have been receiving their PS5s this month (for the most part) and one of the biggest debates is on just how loud the console is. While it?s undoubtedly much quieter than the PS4 overall, some users have reported moderately louder noise from the PS5. The cause of this noise has had a few culprits?coil whine, the disc drive, and even small label that was ?buzzing? against the spinning fan?but there?s another factor at play. Your PS5 fan may not be the same model as someone else?s.
Discovered and researched by French outlet Les Numeriques, they found that among five PS5s they took apart (one review console from Sony, and four others owned by members of the staff), two came with a quieter fan while three came with a different slightly louder fan. What?s more, both of these fans (pictured below) are different from the fan shown in Sony?s pre-release PS5 teardown video (shown at the top of the page).
