So here is the comparison. Both are noisy but I cannot say this enough, the second one I do not even notice while the first one's high pitched whine drove me nuts. Take that for what you will. As for if you should get yours replaced... if yours is annoying you like crazy yes, but if you only notice the noise becasue you try and listen for it then a resounding no (as they all make noise, some are just much worse then others). Also if you listen closely to the first sound at the end of the video you will hear my first one had this same noise as the second one, just it was downed out by the high pitched whine.
Hi. There is no way to resolve that issue but a psu redesign. Noise comes from PSU. My PS4 PRO had the same noise of yours, 2 years ago. Now it's like having a chainsaw in my livingroom.. but the console is stil alive. Some psu units will blow up some others not, in time.
@@drsembee Damn. Do you think newer units down the line will have a better psu? Sony havnt even acknowledged this problem, that obviously affects a lot of us.
@@drsembee - I do not think this is totally true. Or at least not quite like you make it sound. I mean just adding a vacuum varnish (or glue) step to the inductor on the PSU would probably make this go away and that is not to the level of a "redesign" (more like a micro revision to the process and not even the hardware). Also if it were the regulator chip causing the inductor to buzz more then normal that could be replaced as well with a better one (this would be a hardware revision but a very small one and easy to change in the supply chain for the future I am sure). But this is all hypothetical.
My Ps5 had also a very loud high pitched noise. It was unbearable to play like this, I could even hear it while gaming and with normal Volume by the TV. Hoping the new one is better... Waiting since 9 days, hope they can replace it this year...
My ps5 also has nidec fan and high resonance sound... But coil whine wise it is pretty decent. I use it with a monitor and I can not hear anything from my desktop sitting position on 30 fps, 60 fps I have to focus on the buzzing with the sound muted, sound on no sound distinction at all and on 120 fps still blends in but deffinetely higher... I am afraid the replacement would be a coil whine nightmare since I am pretty unlucky in computer parts... What would you guys do? Do you think should I send it back for the guarantee?
The first one sounds like a high pitch fan resonating also, the 2nd one sounds like the normal coil whine. Can only hear it when putting your ear up to the console.
I took the fan out of the first one and all the noise was still there (fan itself is crazy quite... sadly a lot of clickbait articles got people thinking their fan is the issue). Also if you listen closely the first has the coil whine under the ringing noise as well (the ringing just drowns it out a bit). I can hear the buzzing while gaming but only if I turn the volume way down or mute the tv, other then that the new one fades into the ambient noise fairly well. The old one rang in a way that was impossible to ignore so I am happy to not have that anymore. The one thing I dislike so far about PS5 is it has not forced supersampling for a 1080p tv on PS4 games without internal Pro support (PS4 Pro forces supersampling so the game I play right now KoA is better on PS4 Pro sadly).
Also mine. Bought last week. In the beginning I was a bit concerned but hell, I can't even notice unless I put my ears touching the console hahaha Insane silent compare to PS4 :)
@@raulnoel7382 yeah please god I hope it stays that way for years to come otherwise I have to buy a longer HDMI cable and put it in the room next to me so I don't hear it like I did with my horribly noisy PS4 🤣
hello, I myself have a coil whine problem, I hesitate to send it back but I'm afraid of getting worse .. I have a video on my chain about my coil whine I don't know if it is a "silent" coil whine.. thanks in advance
Mine is worse than both of those. I'm still gonna hold off for a while before I send it in. I think my chances of getting a silent unit will be better as time goes on.
Mine on the menu sounds like ur 1st one, dunno if that sound is sonething bad, not the crank, its more like the other Electric sound like... Dunno if happens to other People but i am a bit worried.
I don’t really know if it’s the coil whine or something else but my ps5 is ‘loud’ too. Even in the home screen, doing nothing, I can hear a light buzz (but I can live with that) but as soon as I start up a game the buzz gets significantly louder to the point that I can hear it over the game audio (even when i’m having my headset on). Knowing that my ps5 could/SHOULD be almost completely silent irritates me to the point that it ruins my fun of having a new console. But I don’t know what to feel about replacing it via Sony since it is such a gamble for getting a ‘silent’ one. Atleast i’m happy that the system overall+my controllers work fine and I don’t wanna risk having that possibly malfunctioning too when I replace my ps5 where it does work Ps. I’m sitting quite close to my ps5 so I don’t expect it be completely silent for me, but the buzzing is a bit too loud for me atm
@@steven720p I decided to call the playstation customer service.. the guy on the line was a bit rude tbh but he said that it is normal for ur ps5 to make ‘mechanical noises’ while playing games and it’s nothing to worry about. He did put my report in the system so that if it gets louder/worse I can call again and they can see that I reported it before thus giving me a new one or something Ps. It’s a week later and I must admit that I’m getting used to it and it’s less noticable (for me)
Mine works like your replacement unit. Its ok, but still not as good as it should I think? I hear people say they ps5 are death silent 🤷♂️ in case of mine Ps5 the coil whine gets louder in more demanding games, GOW is still pretty quiet.
I think no one has death silent, but you should only hear It if you put your ear close to It. Mine is like that you can only hear It if you are few centimeters from It.
First one was the nidec fan very annoying but all ps5 has coil whine nmb fan is probably the one u have now big difference depending on fan u can hear less coil whine and most likely it will go away or less noise after few months
Yeah the replacement was better overall. The issue is I am very sensitive to high pitched noise so there was no living with it and then just waiting for it to maybe get better over time. Also I have been more than happy with my PS4 Pro and there are not even that many PS5 only games (what Ratchet and Clank? really not a reason to get a PS5 IMO) and I made a small amount from selling it to someone who really wanted it. So it all worked out. - I am still waiting for them to make a new model of PS5 (like a PS5 update or a PS5 Pro or something new, and I am hoping they address the power supply buzzing in the new models).
Mine sounds the same as the replacement you got, expecially when I play Cold War at 120hz... I can only really hear it when there is no volume or I‘m close to it. Got lucky with the fan but still have this noise. I’m gonna wait and see if it gets better with time.
Well I’ve got my replacement and it now got a annoying high pitch noise coming from the fan in idle or rest mode, yet once u start a game up the noise goes , and it’s still got coil whine but a bit quieter then one I send , I noticed on one of Neogaf forums someone got there replacement and it was noiser I’m starting to think the only quiet ones out there are what Sony sent to press etc, now cba sending it back to get one worse or same again, so now deciding if to live with it or stick with my ps4pro and sell it to cex for £200 profit *just tested it on same setup as my videos I done with miles morales and decently coil whine and this unit is the same as my last one, apart from this one has a annoying fan noise, seriously how can Sony come out saying they’ve listened and spent time making this unit quiet yet it’s more annoying then my PS4 pro 🤬🤬🤬
Damn man, sorry to hear that. Only thing you can do is sell t or keep trying the replacement route like you said. I sold mine and made $200 on it and even gave someone a deal compared to what the were selling for (but mostly due to no native forced supersampling and no native Media Player yet). Funny thing is my PS4 Pro died 3 days later (2 days ago now). What are the odds? Could be becasue I did two straight full data transfers back to back and the hard drive was on its last legs. So $100 of my profit went to Best Buy for a 1TB Samsung EVO 860 SSD. I installed it last night and all is now working again... and the good news is one of the things i loved about PS5 I am a bit closer to now (fast loading, obviously no where near as fast as the PS5 but still much better then a standard HHD).
@@PartStupid yeah will wait and see as working next few days so don’t have a hr to sit on the other end of phone to wait to talk to sony reps, and with it being Xmas week next week its prob now looking like early next yr before I get to sell or get another from sony, but being a PlayStation fanboy I’m a bit pissed that after having ps1,ps2,ps3, PS4 and PS4 pro that never had any annoying noise coming from them, yeah i put a 1tb ssd in my PS4 pro when I got it so when people complained about loading time I never thought they been to bad. But looking at my ps5 replacement I was told it would be a new unit sent out but if u look at the screws holding fan in place they look scratched as though someone has had fan off, I’m just wondering if sony are taking ps5 back in then just sending them back out to different people rather then fix them. Ill prob give sony a call in new yr to see if I can get a quiet one, but if the next one comes is worse for noise or same as they sent me now then prob sell it and wait and hope for a revision and just keep using my PS4 pro for moment especially as sony seem to be backtracking on exclusive games coming to ps5 and now after miles morales came to PS4 and horizon dawn 2 coming and by sounds of it next god of war going to be on PS4 and ps5
@@nbkicker7665 - They replacement units are probably factory rejects that were fixed and put I storage for replacements. Mine was definitely new in the sense that the plastic was all perfect and it was never in someone's home (I say this becasue the black plastic is super easy to scratch and the one I got I could tell had never been cleaned as it would have some small micro scratches from wiping it down). - I saw that too, that most exclusives will be cross gen. I am not worried for the next year or two and hopefully this is something they will sort out. I have heard from some people who say their PS5 does not even have the low buzz my replacement had. But I cannot confirm this just have to take their word for it. On a side note my PS4 Pro actually has a buzzing too... the only thing is the fans drown it out so I never noticed it until I really got close and listened for it while playing.
@@PartStupid my PS4 pro is silent , unless I put my head next to it you wouldn’t no it was turned on, I’ve been playing miles morales on it and fan only kicks in now and again and even then it blowing air and there is no high pitch to then fan. When I undone the wrapping on the ps5 replacement there was deffently micro scratches on the shinny black if though someone had rubbed it , plus even the white outer cases had slight smidge marks that u could see holding. To the light , but they wiped away with a cloth
@@nbkicker7665 - No mine it more or less too I just mean there I is very low coil buzz if you were to put your ear to the back of it and listen closely is all I am saying. But it is not a high pitch whine like my OG PS5 had (and like yours has), but the buzzing is simialr to what my replacement PS5 had (but the PS5's buzz was louder for sure and more annoying then the PS4's fans oddly enough... the high pitched one was a nightmare though). Probably the technicians prints. Who knows really for sure. But they have only been out for a short time so the concept of used really is not quite relevant yet. And again I doubt they are just switching your unit for someone else's and sending them back.
could you please do a decibel test on your new console while running a game. i‘m also not sure if i should send my ps5 back for repair/replacement and this would give us some room to compare the systems.
Already did. At the back near the rear bottom it is 50 dbs and at the top where my video was taken it is ambient sound level at 30 dbls. I did a video today testing in each mode and will upload tonight for tomorrow (just to show normal use it is near silent, ie Netflix or homescreen, no dbs readings in the vid though). Though a decibel reading wont do much good I do not think. Really if yours has a high pitched ring like my first one or is just excessively loud then get it replaced. If the buzz is basically whisper quite from a few feet away like my new one then it is normal and keep it. That is my opinion so far.
Mine has a minor buzz too. I can only hear when I put my ear on it. So, as u said, all ps5 has this noise, but Sony only replace the ones with a big noise?
Well technically they will replace it even for the light buzz but odds are you'll just get another with buzz or risk even worse. But there is a really small chance you could get one that has no buzz (I have had a few people tell me theirs has no buzz whatsoever... I have a hard time believing them but they say it).
@@bicudin2008 - I think you you may be a little confused. I did send it in for repair/fix but they are simply giving replacements out for this issue. They will not attempt to repair it. At least that is what they are doing now with all those I have talked to who also sent their in for repair.
@@PartStupid I've had my ps5 right beside my fathers ps5 and mine is much much louder, so they are no all the same. Mine is all arranged to be replaced now.
Very hard to tell from that video. You move around too much and do not let the mic pic up the sound well enough to hear it. Just read the description and my pinned comment and that should give you an idea of what is what (but just a lose guess is yours is normal... if you have to shut all noises off and get close to even hear it then you're fine).
Yeah that's how mine is as well, if my room is dead silent I can hear it a few feet away but with speakers on its not noticable at all. Debating on just sending it to sony before the year is up if they address this at all with a fix but not the end of the world just sad when the silence aspect was pushed so hard.
I had a PS5 but after so many people pointing out the issues, I ended up selling it. I really didn't want to, but I can wait til a next batch or a special edition comes out.
Might be a good idea. Even with a decent launch lineup there is not much to do on PS5 right now anyways and it is even lacking system level supersampling so it cannot even do what PS4Pro can do for PS4 Pro enabled games (this some games are inferior on PS5 right now... which is retarded).
Yeah that is why my pinned comment now tells people a bit of buzzing is normal but really loud buzzing or ringing is not normal and should be replaced. You are the second person to tell me they sent their back due to a little but of buzzing only to get a truly defective one. Sorry that happened, that sucks. If you listen closely at the end of the video you will hear the first one had the same exact buzzing as the second one, the only reason it is not easy to notice is that damn ringing sound is so bad on my original that it almost blots out the buzzing. But yeah it sucks Sony did not test the power supplies and make the quieter... while my new I can easily live with and is actually room decibel level more or less and with no high pitched ringing I still wish it was silent (I mean this new one from a normal distance is 'almost silent', that is true but would be nice it were really silent).
I’m hoping when mine comes back now it quiet , as my fan and drive was silent , although mine u could hear easily 10ft away with sound turned down a bit, although mine deffently sounded like yr first video, it’s just a waiting game now as someone else I seen from uk it took two weeks to get there’s back and I was told up to three weeks
@@john75470 no , got a replacement that had a lot less coil whine, but fan noise was annoying when in rest mode, main home or playing a game, then after two weeks fan bearing went and it was making a racket so sent back and now got on thats quiet in rest mode and home screen but can here fan and coil whine when playing games, so after waiting 4weeks for last one to come back ive settled for using it with headphones when gaming and will sell and replace if sony update the model or wait to see if 3rd parties come out with replacement fans and fit it myself, but my ps5 is defiantly more noisier then my ps4 pro, which is sony cheeping out on certain components , my xbox x is silent and now will be my machine for multiplat games and ps5 will be switched off and only on for Sony exclusive games
My PS5 has that same high pitched whirring sound. Its not obnoxiously loud, but noticeable in a silent room. I can hear it on the home screen with no apps/games running, gets slightly louder during gameplay. Sit about 4 ft away from console and i can hear it. What do you think is causing that high pitched noise? Is it the power supply? Thinking of sending mine in to Sony or returning to store.
It is the power supply yes. It is the copper wound coils in the power supply (they vibrate slightly as current goes through them). Sony seems to have skipped the varnish/glue step on the coils so it is a lottery right now on if you get one with little coil whine or a lot.You can try sending it in to Sony. I did and got a replacement but the second one also made noise (just buzzing alone and no whine/ring like my first one... I sold it anyways but mostly due to no native supersampling or media player yet).
@@PartStupid thanks for the detailed feedback! I can live with one just having the buzzing sound, as that can only be heard up really close to PS5. The whirring high pitch one drives me insane. I'll hold off for another month then at that point decide if to return to store, or go through Sony warranty.
@@fiyahblaze8732 - Yeah same for me. And I still get comments (just got one) telling me it is the fan (even though I have taken my fan out and held it in my and and even unplugged it). Also they keep telling me my second one is worse even though I have said in person the first is far worse. I do not get people.
@@PartStupid the second one was a huge improvement imo. I understand your reasons for ultimately selling it, but from your experience it's great to know that not all units have that problem. Hopefully Sony's new production batch will be much better next year!
@@fiyahblaze8732 - Yeah it was a LOT better overall for sure. Must just be becasue we have heard the ring in person and other people just do not get it. - I am glad I shared these as well to help people know it is not some sticker like the silly clickbait articles and videos make them think. - I hope so too! I wont get another one for at least another year so fingers crossed.
If you listen closely the first one has the same in noise as the second one plus the ringing (all of this is from the ppower supply, my first one just had a high pitched ring, surprised you could not hear it... it is not picked up well by the mic but you can still hear it I think). So yes and no. Basically traded one that buzzed and rang for one that just buzzes with no mind drilling ring to it.
I swear the second one is far quieter no matter it it seems in the recordings and is not perceptible from a normal viewing distance (you have to turn everything off and really listen for it and then you can hear a very very faint buzzing). It is not bad (the decibel reader is ambient levels when resting on top of the console). The first one drove me nuts due to also having a high pitched whine/ring to it (it was just awful). But long story short they all have power supply coil whine to some extent (the loud and the one that ring are the really bad ones).
My unit has coil whine I would return and get another unit, but after your video I decided to calm down and not change because it has a chance to come a unit with coil whine too. Since I received I have not enjoyed the ps5, just thinking about this noise or trying to listen
@@ramonbn - If yours is bugging you it is totally worth a try to send it in. Again mine I cannot even hear it when I'm 6 feet away playing games or watching Netflix (I could the first one). If yours is annoying you when you are a normal distance away I would try for a replacement (you can always sell the replacement on eBay for a profit if it that one has it too). But if it is only annoying if there is no other sound and you listen closely for it then i would not worry too much. All depends on the type and loudness of the sound it makes IMO.
@@pvtsnoballz if it's a new console it is normal. My PS5 smelled like hot plastic in the beginning, no smell now. I think it's just the pieces and parts settling.
@@pvtsnoballz not really, have you ever bought a brand new car or motorcycle? It's the same thing, when they are brand new they are "settling in". It takes a couple months to break in a new vehicle...it's similar for these consoles.
Yes, both did. The buzzing most likely is not your fan but a component down in the power supply (search youtube a guy fixed a PS5 and shows the issue). The fan just pushes the sound out more and chops the sound. My fan was nearly silent by itself.
Yes that sounds like what is common on a lot of PS5s. It is a lottery right now. Some say they have almost no buzz even when gaming. It is a part in the power supply that vibrates and it seems some get lucky and some get unlucky where one vibrate more and louder.
Has the coil whine or buzzing sound whatever it is gotten any louder or quieter since you’ve received this ps5? And do you think it’s possible for Sony to fix it with a patch? Also I’ve played many games on my ps5 such as God of War, Black ops 4, modern warfare and a few more and you cannot hear the coil whine/buzz sound unless your ear is right up to the console, however on Days Gone I am able to hear the buzzing noise , not so loud but it’s audible even from 2 feet away
It tends to get a bit worse over time. Also no this is a hardware issue so no software update will fix it. Sounds like you got a 'decent' one based on how loud you say it is. It is just something you will need to get used to if you plan to keep that one.
@@PartStupid yeah mines very quiet I have uploaded a video of the noise test incase u wanna check it out . I just hope it doesn’t become loud. This is my second ps5 because the first one was very loud like how your first one was
My unit sounds similar to your replacement. It’s quiet but not silent as the reviewers claimed. The mild coil whine is still lame and since it only got worse with each PS4 Pro revision I don’t see Sony ever addressing it.
Yeah I figured. So the buzzing is normal but a lot of units are overly loud or have a ring like mine did and those are not normal at all. I put in the pinned comment that if people have one with a low tone buzzing it is sadly normal... but if that buzzing is very loud or has a high pitched whine/ring to it then it is not normal and should be replaced. I think that is the best advice and rule of thumb going forward. Did you hear that the first one with the ring still has the same buzzing in the background... the ring is just so bad it drowns it out a bit so it is hard to hear it. I am SO HAPPY that detestable ring is gone.
@@PartStupid I don’t mind the faint buzzing noise since it’s still quieter then the HDD in the older consoles but it’s still disappointing. Hell my external HDD is louder then my PS5 lol.
@@racerboyo - I mean in comparison it sort of is. I did a decibel test with a game running and it is about normal ambient levels when testing the same spot I did my video tests on (around 30 decibels... though it is 50 if you put the sensor down at the very bottom of the back of the unit right where the power supply is... but we do not sit back there to play). But yeah the Series X is said to be truly near silent so it is doable if you do not cheap out... and again it is not so much the fact there is a little noise it is how that noise sounds that can be annoying (like my first unit that rang... god I hated that).
Mine has a a similar noise which I think is the power supply as others have said.. This is what happens when manufacturers use lower quality parts I guess? I haven't played any games other than COD Cold War and Modern Warfare yet. It's worse in game but still present a bit just in the PS5 menus. I have extremely sensitive hearing (I also have OCD so things can bother me easily) so I am more likely to hear such things but I can't really hear it if I put my headphones on and the PS5 is literally a couple feet away from where I play. My PS4 Pro is one of the latest hardware revisions and the fan in that is still pretty loud and I imagine it masked any coil whine. I have until January 31 to return it to Amazon but it's not like they can exchange it because they don't have any stock lol I'll probably just keep it and perhaps buy the next hardware revision of it whenever that will be.
My PS4 Pro does it too. The fan noise just covers it up so I never noticed. Seems like the same exact part too. From my understanding they should have used a part rated higher and that would have lowered the noise (the one they used is being used right up to limit thus why it is causing so much noise). But again that is just my limited understanding of it.
I have a question. When you sent yours in how did it work? Did they send a new one first or were they wanting you to send yours back? Also did they charge anything, like an authorization hold or something?
Called and they sent me a box. Put console only in box and then it goes to service center. The day they got it they sent me a new package which had a new console unit in it. That was it... nothing else involved.
Sorry I cannot understand the question. Are you asking if I can replace my new replacement? Or are you just asking if you have coil whine will they replace it?
Oh I see you are asking if you can exchange it. Yes Sony will exchange it but only do it if it is SUPER loud and annoying. All of them make some noise so be careful not to get rid of a decent one.
Is that really an annoying sound? Because I have an Xbox Series X and it sounds similar to this. Nonetheless this sound is not noticeable unless you put your ear right next to the consoles opening or the case. I can't hear my console at all if stand a meter away from it in a quiet room.
@@PartStupid You said your first PS5 had a high pitched noise. This is a typical coil whine sound on graphics cards. The coil whine from consoles are coming from the power supply and your current PS5 most likely sounds like mine where the noise of the power supply isn't high pitched and in audible on a normal distance. I'm not 100% sure that this sound is considered as coil whine though because it's not high pitched and it also doesn't sound that similar if I compare to other coil whine videos.
@@Parthurnax52 - You're too hung up on a singular example type of coil whine and are oddly discounting other coil whine due to you only knowing the one. Both are coil whine, one is from GPUs that you are used to and most of the PS5's coil whine is power supply related thus a different sound but at the end of the day both are caused by electricity passing through tightly wound copper coils which causes vibrations and noise (and this noise can take on a variety of pitches, volume, and rhythms).
@@PartStupid Alright, then this shouldn't be a concerning thing and no one should be really seeing this as an issue. Still you and also a lot of other PS5 users complaining because of the loudness of the coil whine noise. What's up with the consoles that are having louder coil whine? I think the reason we even hear the coil whine is because of the quietness of the consoles while gaming.
@@Parthurnax52 - That is part of it yes for sure as the fans used to drown out even the game audio but that is only a small facet of this issue (for example my PS4 Pro has a slight whine I never noticed as the fans drown it out... that said both my PS5s whine/buzz were FAR louder then the PS4's buzz fan or no so even if the fans were off on my PS4 Pro it would have been miles quieter then my PS5 with fans off). But you are still doing weird things like totally discounting what people say (I get people are an irrational lot sometimes but there is enough video evidence of this issue that I find it crazy that you think the way you do on this... but we all have different levels of reasoning and understanding of the topic/hardware). - So to close, for some the coil whine is far louder then the average electronic device and that IS an issue for those people (RIGHTFULLY so). It is a lottery right now and some are quite and others are SUPER LOUD (I have seen some really nasty sounding ones on RUclips... maybe do more searching?). The PS5 should NOT be a lot louder then the Xbox Series X for example. Basically the same hardware so if you get one that is loud and it annoys you then there is an issue... full stop. Can some people deal with the noise? Sure but that is not the point. Anyways I hope you understand one day but either way I wish you all the best even if you cannot!
No. I may make a new video showing how it is silent when in homescreen or in rest mode now... it only buzzes a bit now when playing and even that is really quite.
@@globalarsalan4081 - Oh wow I never even thought to answer like that as I felt that was too obvious (figured the noise had to be something other then cool down creaking if they were worried about it). Glad you were here for that ;)
Coil whine isn't that bad at all. It usually changes over time or might completely disappear if you're lucky. The most annoying sound the ps5 can make is that high pitched nidec fan noise.
That high pitched noise is not your fan. Both my units had that high pitched noise and I unplugged the fan while it was running on both and the noise was 100% still there. The fan thing is misinformation from bogus clickbait news articles.
I have 100% the same noise I think it’s the power supply Mine is getting louder depending on the game i play Most of the games don’t make a loud noise but i can hear it in assassins valhalla on 4k mode but when I put it on fps mode the sound is different If you have the game you should try it and tell me if u are the same as me
I did not have that game but I can confirm that each game has a different sound/rhythm to the buzz and changing modes within game changes the sound (like I show in the video).
Mine is alot worse than that but I honestly can't notice with my headset on, I mean the 3d audio is another experience in itself I personally couldn't play my ps5 without a headset
Just Astros for PS5 game. Spider-Man MM and RM are both still a PS4 games through and through so there would not be a lot of difference. It would only make the buzzing slightly louder or just change the tone/rhythm of the buzzing, probably would not even noticed the differnce.
Took around 2 week all said and done. All I did was call Sony and told them the noise the PS5 made was driving me nuts and I could not live with it the way it is (which was true... the ring was driving me insane).
I appreciate the heads up but I took my fan out and held it in my hand and even unplugged it. All the noise was still there. It is 110% electrical noise.
Mine is near silent. Some people might be super sensitive but mine honestly in the middle of the night playing the most demanding games and I hear absolutely nothing (unless I get very close to the console) yes the fan is very quite and coil whine acts depending on how much current is being pulled, however when I remember the same scenario when I had my PS4 Pro where I couldn't hear the sound from TV, makes me happy that i have this console sitting next to me. This machine is silent enough that I play Cyberpunk and even if i turn my TV volume to zero in the middle of the night I will still hear nothing from about 4 ft where I sit.
I feel like you need to have the ps5 by your ear to hear that. The noise wouldn't bother me, what will is its abnormal lol and I would want a normal ps5.
Hi could you mabye watch my video and tell me if this sound is normal? I think my ps5 sounds like yours. I dont hear it, when the game sound is on but when its off I definetely hear it. In my opinion sony could´ve made a better job.
@@Phoenix-nk5sm - Some have almost none. So that I why I say it is a very common issue but it was intended to be much quieter thus common instead of normal. But I am splitting hairs really.
@@PartStupid it depends who tells you that it is not noisy because my friends and the video shows a roaring roar and everyone we problem like them that they are replaced they can say that it does not make them but it we can never be listen before you know it me she does the brrrrrr but you have to get closer apart from her she never makes a noise except when I put a cd we hear the disc spinning but its normal so in my opinion it has no default
Dunno. Doesn't really matter. That fan nonsense and the sticker nonsense are just that... total nonsense. I took my fan out and even unplugged it and 100% of the noise was still there. It is NOT the fan.
@@galaxydave69 - It's the power supply and a lot of units have power supply coil buzzing or whining. It is a lottery right now with some having little buzzing to some having a lot or loud ringing. Also I need no luck, I sold my replacement a week ago ;)
Lol. Well I no longer have it. The fact it had no native forced supersampling (so the game I am playing RN looks way better on PS4 Pro) and no native Media Player (so if my internet is down I cannot stream files from my PC over my router network like I can with PS4 Pro). The PS4 Pro lacked these things for like 2 years so seems PS5 is sadly going the same "we will add it later... maybe" route.
I couldn't take the noise . It gave me ear ache. I had to get rid of the ps5 . Terrible hardware . My series X on the other hand is super quiet . I can game late at night with the volume on low and not have to put up with a constant buzzing noise and squealing sound . I will try a ps5 again in 3 to 4 months and see if Sony changed anything inside the ps5 .
I actually sold mine over the weekend. Partly the buzz but mostly the lack of 1080p supersampling support (no native/forced supersampling on PS5 for PS4 games on a 1080p screen like PS4 Pro can do). Also no native Media Player yet.
@@pollyaloy I doubt it because the 7000 model PS4 Pro had little to no coil whine and it got worse with the 7100 and 7200 revisions. Most people don’t notice or aren’t bothered by it so I don’t ever see Sony addressing it especially considering it’s still quieter than 90% of PC parts out there. If you want a close to silent console get the Series X and that’s coming from a die hard Sony fan boy.
@@racerboyo I had a PS4 pro it didn't have any coil whine since owning it from launch just noisy fans during some games . I have a series X and it's whisper quiet .it's fantastic. But my ps5 was terrible that buzzing noise often changed to a squealing sound it's all I could concentrate on during gaming and gave me ear fatigue. Then having to get up and press the ps5 panels because they started vibrating . Terrible machine . My series X works flawlessly .
@@pollyaloy my launch PS4 Pro developed coil whine after a year or so of use and the fan sounded like a hairdryer. Around late 2018 I got sick of the fan noise and changed the thermal paste and upgraded the thermal pads which help a lot with the fan noise. It didn’t make the fan silent but it made it quiet enough to not distract me but that’s when I started to notice some coil whine. My PS5 has some coil whine but it doesn’t bother me and for the most part I don’t notice it with my speakers on or when wearing headphones. I still think Sony should get some quality control on there power supplies. My brother has the revised 7200 model PS4 Pro and the coil whine sounds nearly identical between his Pro and my PS5. I don’t have a Series X myself yet but my buddy sent me a video of his running Destiny 2 and it’s impressively quiet, but it’s also not too surprising since pretty much all Xbox One models are quieter then most PS4 models. I also still have my Xbox One X and it’s noise level is about the same as my PS5 although my One X doesn’t have coil whine just a noisy HDD and the fan spins up on a few games like MW, Hitman and Red Dead.
i think there is no ps5 without coil whine. i mean srsly is there 1 video on youtube that shows a ps5 without coil whine (with gameplay like demon souls or spiderman)?
That is good to hear and know. I sold this replacement this weekend and will get a PS5 next year or so. Probably when the new God of War comes out and I finally decided to also upgrade my TV from 1080p.
Mine started coil whine this week I think Sony are going to have a massive lawsuit to deal with as time goes on and these end up in more people’s hands
@@yamisniper - That is part of it but not all of it. It is more prominent due to the fan being so quite but both f the buzzing was far worse then my PS4 Pro (but of course the fans on my PS4 Pro are far louder, but the buzzing itself is quieter on PS4 Pro since it used less wattage on the same buzzy part in the power supply then the PS5 does).
So you can play at 60fps huh? Well can you play at 60fps while there is a nest of bees in your console!? Huh!? Well CAN YOU!? I thought not. I win... bye bye. LMAO ^_^
The only noise my PS5 makes is the disc drive when first starting up PS5 is loud or When putting a game in it's loud and then it goes silent for most of the time and once in awile it gets loud for a minute and then gets quiet again!
That must be your disc drive. DO me a small favor if you get time and think of it... try putting on Astro Playroom and get into gameplay and then mute the tv and get close to you console (the back side is where the noise comes from). Please let me know if you can hear a faint buzzing.
I know it might sound that way but I can assure you it not hat case. I even took that fan out of the console to test before sending it back and all that noise was still there with the fan feet away unplugged.
I’m sorry. This sound is unacceptable. My Playstation 5 makes the same noise when I’m playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Only during loading. It’s silent after that. Then, when I’m playing Playstation 5 games, there’s a loud buzzing noise.
@@PartStupid thanks mate. This issue could also be fan grinding on loose sticker. Google it. Some people had to open it up and remove that fallen sticker which was getting grinded by fan. Because coil whine is a buzzing noise or high pitch whine sound. If you hear GRRRRRRRR sound could be grinding
@@retrogamer64007 - I appreciate that but trust me that was not the case. The sticker thing was like 1 person and the media ran with is for clicks and views. I took my fan out and held it in my hand while it ran, that thing is near dead silent.
@@PartStupid did you hear the same sound with no fan at all? Surely it can stay in system menu with no fan for at least 5 minutes. The switch can stay on for about 40 minutes or so with fan disabled. Spawnwave did this test
The noise on ur first one was the fan, No coil whine, fixable once u can buy third party PS5 fans or with coil-rings. On ur replacement console you have coil whine, not that easily fixable. Id say ur worse off now than before.
You probably have not see this but in comments I have stated that I took the fan out and held it in my hand and 100% of the noise was still there. Also I still cannot understand why people do not take me for my word that the second one is quieter in person. I find this very odd, I get that the mic cannot pic up the fist ring as well as the buzzing but trust me it was far worse. Also if you listen closely the first one also has the buzzing noise in the background... the only reason you do not notice it is the ringing drowns it out.
I got mine a couple of days ago and I’m honestly worried as when I boot a game it’s louder than my PS4 pro 😂 If room is silent and tv on mute I can hear it clear as anything like a buzzing sound ruclips.net/video/LuYf_Lt26iQ/видео.html if anyone could tell me Is it worth sending back from all videos I have seen it seems a lot quieter than other peoples so might just hold on to it as took me so long to actually get one
Fans has nothing to do with this issue. I took mine out and held it in my hand and even unplugged it and all the noise was still there. That article and the one about the sticker are just just clickbait articles.
@@tomaskrisko2489 - I wont matter. All that might do is change the frequency of the sound. They will never be able to get rid of it on units that have it. Sorry.
Most of them have some level of it. Some get lucky though. From my understanding on the fix I watched by and actual tech guy it is a blue component in the power supply that vibrates internally under load. The reason for this, again by my understanding, is that the part is being used near its max limit thus causing more vibration then if the chip was rated for much higher voltage/wattage. The guy replaced it with one that was higher rated and it made it far quieter to the point of normal electronics noise range. But sadly for most of us this is not a solution we can perform ourselves... I hope Sony fixes this in their next revision.
Sorry to hear that man. If it bugs you my advice would be to sell it fast on eBay before PS5's restock (if you do this just be sure to be up front about the noise in the listing so they have no excuse to try and return it)..
I know they sound similarly loud but my second one is actually silent from a distance and much quieter then the video makes it seem (I think the microphone could not pick up the ringing noise as well due to it being too high frequency). The first one was much louder with its ringing noise. Glad you got an even quieter one though.
BTW you should make a video showing how quite yours is while gaming. Would help us get more examples to make a better conclusion with (assuming you are right about ti being way quieter when gaming).
Lol... you got fooled by silly click-bait videos. You really need to stop believing those as gospel when you see them. For example that was just one guy who had that issue and all the news outlets ran with it as though that must be the issue for everyone. And just so you know I took the fan out completely and even unplugged it so it was not the fan at all (fan is crazy quite)... and there was buzzing the replacement as well and still no sticker.
@@PartStupid Man that one video that good pumped around (by Sony?) with the sticker is so annoying.. Every idiot believed it. ITS NOT THE STICKER, It's NOT normal and it's NOT acceptable.. thank you for your time :)
I know it sounds that way through the video but I assure you that is not the case. I held the fan in my hand while it ran on both (it is super easy to take out). It is coming from way down at the bottom inside (in the power supply... the noise travels up through the fan so people think that it is the fan).
@@unseenfusion596 - I got a totally new one. Both buzz and make noise though so please do not get the wrong idea and think there are perfectly silent PS5's out there. But yeah sounds like yours is abnormally loud so I would say get it replaced if so.
@@Zeegoku1007 - They have single console units in blank PlayStation boxes for this very issue all ready to go and replace consoles at launch with. So it is not really all that surprising (it is fairly industry standard to protect against a certain percentage of failure). But you are right that the shortage makes it seem like it might not be possible.
So here is the comparison. Both are noisy but I cannot say this enough, the second one I do not even notice while the first one's high pitched whine drove me nuts. Take that for what you will. As for if you should get yours replaced... if yours is annoying you like crazy yes, but if you only notice the noise becasue you try and listen for it then a resounding no (as they all make noise, some are just much worse then others). Also if you listen closely to the first sound at the end of the video you will hear my first one had this same noise as the second one, just it was downed out by the high pitched whine.
'Dig into my brain'. Put it perfectly lmaoo
thanks for the video, sounds just like mine now
Hi. There is no way to resolve that issue but a psu redesign. Noise comes from PSU. My PS4 PRO had the same noise of yours, 2 years ago. Now it's like having a chainsaw in my livingroom.. but the console is stil alive. Some psu units will blow up some others not, in time.
@@drsembee Damn. Do you think newer units down the line will have a better psu? Sony havnt even acknowledged this problem, that obviously affects a lot of us.
@@drsembee - I do not think this is totally true. Or at least not quite like you make it sound. I mean just adding a vacuum varnish (or glue) step to the inductor on the PSU would probably make this go away and that is not to the level of a "redesign" (more like a micro revision to the process and not even the hardware). Also if it were the regulator chip causing the inductor to buzz more then normal that could be replaced as well with a better one (this would be a hardware revision but a very small one and easy to change in the supply chain for the future I am sure). But this is all hypothetical.
My Ps5 had also a very loud high pitched noise. It was unbearable to play like this, I could even hear it while gaming and with normal Volume by the TV. Hoping the new one is better... Waiting since 9 days, hope they can replace it this year...
I hope you get a good replacement.
I have the return postage label from Sony now so I'll be sending mine back after Christmas. I hope I've waited long enough to get a good one.
@@thomassmith4999 - Good luck!
This is much better than the first one
Yeah just getting rid of that damnable ringing is just heaven for me.
My one makes a buzzing or whining noise when i launch a intense game like fortnite or cod its annoying, idk should i replace with a different fan?
My ps5 also has nidec fan and high resonance sound... But coil whine wise it is pretty decent. I use it with a monitor and I can not hear anything from my desktop sitting position on 30 fps, 60 fps I have to focus on the buzzing with the sound muted, sound on no sound distinction at all and on 120 fps still blends in but deffinetely higher... I am afraid the replacement would be a coil whine nightmare since I am pretty unlucky in computer parts... What would you guys do? Do you think should I send it back for the guarantee?
The first one sounds like a high pitch fan resonating also, the 2nd one sounds like the normal coil whine. Can only hear it when putting your ear up to the console.
I took the fan out of the first one and all the noise was still there (fan itself is crazy quite... sadly a lot of clickbait articles got people thinking their fan is the issue). Also if you listen closely the first has the coil whine under the ringing noise as well (the ringing just drowns it out a bit).
I can hear the buzzing while gaming but only if I turn the volume way down or mute the tv, other then that the new one fades into the ambient noise fairly well. The old one rang in a way that was impossible to ignore so I am happy to not have that anymore.
The one thing I dislike so far about PS5 is it has not forced supersampling for a 1080p tv on PS4 games without internal Pro support (PS4 Pro forces supersampling so the game I play right now KoA is better on PS4 Pro sadly).
Mine sounds the same lol....glad to know that this seems to be normal.
Also mine. Bought last week. In the beginning I was a bit concerned but hell, I can't even notice unless I put my ears touching the console hahaha Insane silent compare to PS4 :)
@@raulnoel7382 yeah please god I hope it stays that way for years to come otherwise I have to buy a longer HDMI cable and put it in the room next to me so I don't hear it like I did with my horribly noisy PS4 🤣
hello, I myself have a coil whine problem, I hesitate to send it back but I'm afraid of getting worse .. I have a video on my chain about my coil whine I don't know if it is a "silent" coil whine.. thanks in advance
Mine is worse than both of those. I'm still gonna hold off for a while before I send it in. I think my chances of getting a silent unit will be better as time goes on.
Lets hope. I wish you luck when you do try the lottery.
Mine on the menu sounds like ur 1st one, dunno if that sound is sonething bad, not the crank, its more like the other Electric sound like... Dunno if happens to other People but i am a bit worried.
Did you know certain sound frequencies can screw with people brains!
When you have tinnitus like I do.. you become very aware of sounds like this
Exactly
I don’t really know if it’s the coil whine or something else but my ps5 is ‘loud’ too. Even in the home screen, doing nothing, I can hear a light buzz (but I can live with that) but as soon as I start up a game the buzz gets significantly louder to the point that I can hear it over the game audio (even when i’m having my headset on). Knowing that my ps5 could/SHOULD be almost completely silent irritates me to the point that it ruins my fun of having a new console.
But I don’t know what to feel about replacing it via Sony since it is such a gamble for getting a ‘silent’ one. Atleast i’m happy that the system overall+my controllers work fine and I don’t wanna risk having that possibly malfunctioning too when I replace my ps5 where it does work
Ps. I’m sitting quite close to my ps5 so I don’t expect it be completely silent for me, but the buzzing is a bit too loud for me atm
I’m having the same issue I can’t tell if it’s normal or not
@@steven720p I decided to call the playstation customer service.. the guy on the line was a bit rude tbh but he said that it is normal for ur ps5 to make ‘mechanical noises’ while playing games and it’s nothing to worry about. He did put my report in the system so that if it gets louder/worse I can call again and they can see that I reported it before thus giving me a new one or something
Ps. It’s a week later and I must admit that I’m getting used to it and it’s less noticable (for me)
Mine works like your replacement unit. Its ok, but still not as good as it should I think? I hear people say they ps5 are death silent 🤷♂️ in case of mine Ps5 the coil whine gets louder in more demanding games, GOW is still pretty quiet.
I think no one has death silent, but you should only hear It if you put your ear close to It. Mine is like that you can only hear It if you are few centimeters from It.
First one was the nidec fan very annoying but all ps5 has coil whine nmb fan is probably the one u have now big difference depending on fan u can hear less coil whine and most likely it will go away or less noise after few months
Yeah the replacement was better overall. The issue is I am very sensitive to high pitched noise so there was no living with it and then just waiting for it to maybe get better over time. Also I have been more than happy with my PS4 Pro and there are not even that many PS5 only games (what Ratchet and Clank? really not a reason to get a PS5 IMO) and I made a small amount from selling it to someone who really wanted it. So it all worked out.
- I am still waiting for them to make a new model of PS5 (like a PS5 update or a PS5 Pro or something new, and I am hoping they address the power supply buzzing in the new models).
If you need to send it back, no worries, i sent mine back and got a new one within 5 days and i dont live near california
Mine sounds the same as the replacement you got, expecially when I play Cold War at 120hz...
I can only really hear it when there is no volume or I‘m close to it.
Got lucky with the fan but still have this noise. I’m gonna wait and see if it gets better with time.
Wow that sucks 😳
At least it sounds better now, not as annoying.
Well I’ve got my replacement and it now got a annoying high pitch noise coming from the fan in idle or rest mode, yet once u start a game up the noise goes , and it’s still got coil whine but a bit quieter then one I send , I noticed on one of Neogaf forums someone got there replacement and it was noiser I’m starting to think the only quiet ones out there are what Sony sent to press etc, now cba sending it back to get one worse or same again, so now deciding if to live with it or stick with my ps4pro and sell it to cex for £200 profit *just tested it on same setup as my videos I done with miles morales and decently coil whine and this unit is the same as my last one, apart from this one has a annoying fan noise, seriously how can Sony come out saying they’ve listened and spent time making this unit quiet yet it’s more annoying then my PS4 pro 🤬🤬🤬
Damn man, sorry to hear that. Only thing you can do is sell t or keep trying the replacement route like you said. I sold mine and made $200 on it and even gave someone a deal compared to what the were selling for (but mostly due to no native forced supersampling and no native Media Player yet). Funny thing is my PS4 Pro died 3 days later (2 days ago now). What are the odds? Could be becasue I did two straight full data transfers back to back and the hard drive was on its last legs. So $100 of my profit went to Best Buy for a 1TB Samsung EVO 860 SSD. I installed it last night and all is now working again... and the good news is one of the things i loved about PS5 I am a bit closer to now (fast loading, obviously no where near as fast as the PS5 but still much better then a standard HHD).
@@PartStupid yeah will wait and see as working next few days so don’t have a hr to sit on the other end of phone to wait to talk to sony reps, and with it being Xmas week next week its prob now looking like early next yr before I get to sell or get another from sony, but being a PlayStation fanboy I’m a bit pissed that after having ps1,ps2,ps3, PS4 and PS4 pro that never had any annoying noise coming from them, yeah i put a 1tb ssd in my PS4 pro when I got it so when people complained about loading time I never thought they been to bad. But looking at my ps5 replacement I was told it would be a new unit sent out but if u look at the screws holding fan in place they look scratched as though someone has had fan off, I’m just wondering if sony are taking ps5 back in then just sending them back out to different people rather then fix them. Ill prob give sony a call in new yr to see if I can get a quiet one, but if the next one comes is worse for noise or same as they sent me now then prob sell it and wait and hope for a revision and just keep using my PS4 pro for moment especially as sony seem to be backtracking on exclusive games coming to ps5 and now after miles morales came to PS4 and horizon dawn 2 coming and by sounds of it next god of war going to be on PS4 and ps5
@@nbkicker7665 - They replacement units are probably factory rejects that were fixed and put I storage for replacements. Mine was definitely new in the sense that the plastic was all perfect and it was never in someone's home (I say this becasue the black plastic is super easy to scratch and the one I got I could tell had never been cleaned as it would have some small micro scratches from wiping it down).
- I saw that too, that most exclusives will be cross gen. I am not worried for the next year or two and hopefully this is something they will sort out. I have heard from some people who say their PS5 does not even have the low buzz my replacement had. But I cannot confirm this just have to take their word for it. On a side note my PS4 Pro actually has a buzzing too... the only thing is the fans drown it out so I never noticed it until I really got close and listened for it while playing.
@@PartStupid my PS4 pro is silent , unless I put my head next to it you wouldn’t no it was turned on, I’ve been playing miles morales on it and fan only kicks in now and again and even then it blowing air and there is no high pitch to then fan. When I undone the wrapping on the ps5 replacement there was deffently micro scratches on the shinny black if though someone had rubbed it , plus even the white outer cases had slight smidge marks that u could see holding. To the light , but they wiped away with a cloth
@@nbkicker7665 - No mine it more or less too I just mean there I is very low coil buzz if you were to put your ear to the back of it and listen closely is all I am saying. But it is not a high pitch whine like my OG PS5 had (and like yours has), but the buzzing is simialr to what my replacement PS5 had (but the PS5's buzz was louder for sure and more annoying then the PS4's fans oddly enough... the high pitched one was a nightmare though).
Probably the technicians prints. Who knows really for sure. But they have only been out for a short time so the concept of used really is not quite relevant yet. And again I doubt they are just switching your unit for someone else's and sending them back.
could you please do a decibel test on your new console while running a game. i‘m also not sure if i should send my ps5 back for repair/replacement and this would give us some room to compare the systems.
Already did. At the back near the rear bottom it is 50 dbs and at the top where my video was taken it is ambient sound level at 30 dbls. I did a video today testing in each mode and will upload tonight for tomorrow (just to show normal use it is near silent, ie Netflix or homescreen, no dbs readings in the vid though).
Though a decibel reading wont do much good I do not think. Really if yours has a high pitched ring like my first one or is just excessively loud then get it replaced. If the buzz is basically whisper quite from a few feet away like my new one then it is normal and keep it. That is my opinion so far.
Mine has a minor buzz too. I can only hear when I put my ear on it. So, as u said, all ps5 has this noise, but Sony only replace the ones with a big noise?
Well technically they will replace it even for the light buzz but odds are you'll just get another with buzz or risk even worse. But there is a really small chance you could get one that has no buzz (I have had a few people tell me theirs has no buzz whatsoever... I have a hard time believing them but they say it).
@@PartStupid so, People who have a big buzz with The ps5, I think Its better send to fix instead of try a New replacement. We have warranty for this!
@@bicudin2008 - I think you you may be a little confused. I did send it in for repair/fix but they are simply giving replacements out for this issue. They will not attempt to repair it. At least that is what they are doing now with all those I have talked to who also sent their in for repair.
@@PartStupid I've had my ps5 right beside my fathers ps5 and mine is much much louder, so they are no all the same. Mine is all arranged to be replaced now.
I have coil wine but u need to move extremely close.
Your replacement unit sounds like mine (see my video) is this normal?
Very hard to tell from that video. You move around too much and do not let the mic pic up the sound well enough to hear it. Just read the description and my pinned comment and that should give you an idea of what is what (but just a lose guess is yours is normal... if you have to shut all noises off and get close to even hear it then you're fine).
How does your sound now my do same sound as your but up beats but change when in game option meny
Yes.
Yeah that's how mine is as well, if my room is dead silent I can hear it a few feet away but with speakers on its not noticable at all. Debating on just sending it to sony before the year is up if they address this at all with a fix but not the end of the world just sad when the silence aspect was pushed so hard.
Don't send it in. It's normal
I had a PS5 but after so many people pointing out the issues, I ended up selling it. I really didn't want to, but I can wait til a next batch or a special edition comes out.
Might be a good idea. Even with a decent launch lineup there is not much to do on PS5 right now anyways and it is even lacking system level supersampling so it cannot even do what PS4Pro can do for PS4 Pro enabled games (this some games are inferior on PS5 right now... which is retarded).
it souns exactly the same as mine
How did you manage to get a replacement??
Do you think it will update this noise from ps5
I also recieved a replacement and they gave me one with the same coil whine and also this time the fan also makes noise, my other one didnt smh.
Yeah that is why my pinned comment now tells people a bit of buzzing is normal but really loud buzzing or ringing is not normal and should be replaced. You are the second person to tell me they sent their back due to a little but of buzzing only to get a truly defective one. Sorry that happened, that sucks.
If you listen closely at the end of the video you will hear the first one had the same exact buzzing as the second one, the only reason it is not easy to notice is that damn ringing sound is so bad on my original that it almost blots out the buzzing. But yeah it sucks Sony did not test the power supplies and make the quieter... while my new I can easily live with and is actually room decibel level more or less and with no high pitched ringing I still wish it was silent (I mean this new one from a normal distance is 'almost silent', that is true but would be nice it were really silent).
I’m hoping when mine comes back now it quiet , as my fan and drive was silent , although mine u could hear easily 10ft away with sound turned down a bit, although mine deffently sounded like yr first video, it’s just a waiting game now as someone else I seen from uk it took two weeks to get there’s back and I was told up to three weeks
@@nbkicker7665 did u get quiet one
@@john75470 no , got a replacement that had a lot less coil whine, but fan noise was annoying when in rest mode, main home or playing a game, then after two weeks fan bearing went and it was making a racket so sent back and now got on thats quiet in rest mode and home screen but can here fan and coil whine when playing games, so after waiting 4weeks for last one to come back ive settled for using it with headphones when gaming and will sell and replace if sony update the model or wait to see if 3rd parties come out with replacement fans and fit it myself, but my ps5 is defiantly more noisier then my ps4 pro, which is sony cheeping out on certain components , my xbox x is silent and now will be my machine for multiplat games and ps5 will be switched off and only on for Sony exclusive games
@@nbkicker7665 sony drop the ball maybe they expect people to die so that why they cheap out
My PS5 has that same high pitched whirring sound. Its not obnoxiously loud, but noticeable in a silent room. I can hear it on the home screen with no apps/games running, gets slightly louder during gameplay. Sit about 4 ft away from console and i can hear it. What do you think is causing that high pitched noise? Is it the power supply? Thinking of sending mine in to Sony or returning to store.
It is the power supply yes. It is the copper wound coils in the power supply (they vibrate slightly as current goes through them). Sony seems to have skipped the varnish/glue step on the coils so it is a lottery right now on if you get one with little coil whine or a lot.You can try sending it in to Sony. I did and got a replacement but the second one also made noise (just buzzing alone and no whine/ring like my first one... I sold it anyways but mostly due to no native supersampling or media player yet).
@@PartStupid thanks for the detailed feedback! I can live with one just having the buzzing sound, as that can only be heard up really close to PS5. The whirring high pitch one drives me insane. I'll hold off for another month then at that point decide if to return to store, or go through Sony warranty.
@@fiyahblaze8732 - Yeah same for me. And I still get comments (just got one) telling me it is the fan (even though I have taken my fan out and held it in my and and even unplugged it). Also they keep telling me my second one is worse even though I have said in person the first is far worse. I do not get people.
@@PartStupid the second one was a huge improvement imo. I understand your reasons for ultimately selling it, but from your experience it's great to know that not all units have that problem. Hopefully Sony's new production batch will be much better next year!

- I hope so too! I wont get another one for at least another year so fingers crossed.
Did you trade a device with noise on the fan for one with coil whine
If you listen closely the first one has the same in noise as the second one plus the ringing (all of this is from the ppower supply, my first one just had a high pitched ring, surprised you could not hear it... it is not picked up well by the mic but you can still hear it I think). So yes and no. Basically traded one that buzzed and rang for one that just buzzes with no mind drilling ring to it.
I swear the second one is far quieter no matter it it seems in the recordings and is not perceptible from a normal viewing distance (you have to turn everything off and really listen for it and then you can hear a very very faint buzzing). It is not bad (the decibel reader is ambient levels when resting on top of the console). The first one drove me nuts due to also having a high pitched whine/ring to it (it was just awful). But long story short they all have power supply coil whine to some extent (the loud and the one that ring are the really bad ones).
My unit has coil whine I would return and get another unit, but after your video I decided to calm down and not change because it has a chance to come a unit with coil whine too. Since I received I have not enjoyed the ps5, just thinking about this noise or trying to listen
@@ramonbn - If yours is bugging you it is totally worth a try to send it in. Again mine I cannot even hear it when I'm 6 feet away playing games or watching Netflix (I could the first one). If yours is annoying you when you are a normal distance away I would try for a replacement (you can always sell the replacement on eBay for a profit if it that one has it too). But if it is only annoying if there is no other sound and you listen closely for it then i would not worry too much. All depends on the type and loudness of the sound it makes IMO.
@@PartStupid Same here. To listen only to coming close. The problem is when I found out the noise, and then I kept going to listen. Kkk
Mine get loud and has a slight burning smell to it.
The noise is normal, the smell is not
@@pvtsnoballz if it's a new console it is normal.
My PS5 smelled like hot plastic in the beginning, no smell now. I think it's just the pieces and parts settling.
@@TypicallyUniqueOfficial that's weird.
@@pvtsnoballz not really, have you ever bought a brand new car or motorcycle?
It's the same thing, when they are brand new they are "settling in". It takes a couple months to break in a new vehicle...it's similar for these consoles.
@@TypicallyUniqueOfficial never in my life have I had a console melt plastic to "settle in" or a computer for that matter
Did either of your ps5 get noticeably louder when starting up a big game? The fans get real loud on mine and I get a buzzing noise
Yes, both did. The buzzing most likely is not your fan but a component down in the power supply (search youtube a guy fixed a PS5 and shows the issue). The fan just pushes the sound out more and chops the sound. My fan was nearly silent by itself.
Mine only makes this noise when playing games, does this sound about right?
Yes that sounds like what is common on a lot of PS5s. It is a lottery right now. Some say they have almost no buzz even when gaming. It is a part in the power supply that vibrates and it seems some get lucky and some get unlucky where one vibrate more and louder.
It’s better than the old one but you still have coil whine, however if you can’t eat it from normal distance that’s fine
Has the coil whine or buzzing sound whatever it is gotten any louder or quieter since you’ve received this ps5? And do you think it’s possible for Sony to fix it with a patch?
Also I’ve played many games on my ps5 such as God of War, Black ops 4, modern warfare and a few more and you cannot hear the coil whine/buzz sound unless your ear is right up to the console, however on Days Gone I am able to hear the buzzing noise , not so loud but it’s audible even from 2 feet away
It tends to get a bit worse over time. Also no this is a hardware issue so no software update will fix it.
Sounds like you got a 'decent' one based on how loud you say it is. It is just something you will need to get used to if you plan to keep that one.
@@PartStupid yeah mines very quiet I have uploaded a video of the noise test incase u wanna check it out . I just hope it doesn’t become loud. This is my second ps5 because the first one was very loud like how your first one was
You need to test it with Miles Morale in performance mode you will then see if you have a quiet model or not.
My unit sounds similar to your replacement. It’s quiet but not silent as the reviewers claimed. The mild coil whine is still lame and since it only got worse with each PS4 Pro revision I don’t see Sony ever addressing it.
Yeah I figured. So the buzzing is normal but a lot of units are overly loud or have a ring like mine did and those are not normal at all. I put in the pinned comment that if people have one with a low tone buzzing it is sadly normal... but if that buzzing is very loud or has a high pitched whine/ring to it then it is not normal and should be replaced. I think that is the best advice and rule of thumb going forward.
Did you hear that the first one with the ring still has the same buzzing in the background... the ring is just so bad it drowns it out a bit so it is hard to hear it. I am SO HAPPY that detestable ring is gone.
@@PartStupid I don’t mind the faint buzzing noise since it’s still quieter then the HDD in the older consoles but it’s still disappointing. Hell my external HDD is louder then my PS5 lol.
@@racerboyo - Yeah I hear ya there. Mine is too. Its just the type of noise that really gets people pissed I think, and the fact it was avoidable.
@@PartStupid I also think people are disappointed since the media hyped it up to being completely silent
@@racerboyo - I mean in comparison it sort of is. I did a decibel test with a game running and it is about normal ambient levels when testing the same spot I did my video tests on (around 30 decibels... though it is 50 if you put the sensor down at the very bottom of the back of the unit right where the power supply is... but we do not sit back there to play). But yeah the Series X is said to be truly near silent so it is doable if you do not cheap out... and again it is not so much the fact there is a little noise it is how that noise sounds that can be annoying (like my first unit that rang... god I hated that).
Mine has a a similar noise which I think is the power supply as others have said.. This is what happens when manufacturers use lower quality parts I guess? I haven't played any games other than COD Cold War and Modern Warfare yet. It's worse in game but still present a bit just in the PS5 menus.
I have extremely sensitive hearing (I also have OCD so things can bother me easily) so I am more likely to hear such things but I can't really hear it if I put my headphones on and the PS5 is literally a couple feet away from where I play. My PS4 Pro is one of the latest hardware revisions and the fan in that is still pretty loud and I imagine it masked any coil whine.
I have until January 31 to return it to Amazon but it's not like they can exchange it because they don't have any stock lol
I'll probably just keep it and perhaps buy the next hardware revision of it whenever that will be.
My PS4 Pro does it too. The fan noise just covers it up so I never noticed. Seems like the same exact part too. From my understanding they should have used a part rated higher and that would have lowered the noise (the one they used is being used right up to limit thus why it is causing so much noise). But again that is just my limited understanding of it.
I have a question. When you sent yours in how did it work? Did they send a new one first or were they wanting you to send yours back? Also did they charge anything, like an authorization hold or something?
Called and they sent me a box. Put console only in box and then it goes to service center. The day they got it they sent me a new package which had a new console unit in it. That was it... nothing else involved.
@@PartStupid thanks for the information!
@@PartStupid hello, your replacement is a brand new console or a retreading machine?
Is possible change the console with the coil whine problem?
Sorry I cannot understand the question. Are you asking if I can replace my new replacement? Or are you just asking if you have coil whine will they replace it?
Oh I see you are asking if you can exchange it. Yes Sony will exchange it but only do it if it is SUPER loud and annoying. All of them make some noise so be careful not to get rid of a decent one.
Is that really an annoying sound? Because I have an Xbox Series X and it sounds similar to this. Nonetheless this sound is not noticeable unless you put your ear right next to the consoles opening or the case. I can't hear my console at all if stand a meter away from it in a quiet room.
The first one with a ring to it was really an annoying sound. The second one is not so bad as i said in the video.
@@PartStupid You said your first PS5 had a high pitched noise. This is a typical coil whine sound on graphics cards. The coil whine from consoles are coming from the power supply and your current PS5 most likely sounds like mine where the noise of the power supply isn't high pitched and in audible on a normal distance.
I'm not 100% sure that this sound is considered as coil whine though because it's not high pitched and it also doesn't sound that similar if I compare to other coil whine videos.
@@Parthurnax52 - You're too hung up on a singular example type of coil whine and are oddly discounting other coil whine due to you only knowing the one. Both are coil whine, one is from GPUs that you are used to and most of the PS5's coil whine is power supply related thus a different sound but at the end of the day both are caused by electricity passing through tightly wound copper coils which causes vibrations and noise (and this noise can take on a variety of pitches, volume, and rhythms).
@@PartStupid Alright, then this shouldn't be a concerning thing and no one should be really seeing this as an issue. Still you and also a lot of other PS5 users complaining because of the loudness of the coil whine noise. What's up with the consoles that are having louder coil whine?
I think the reason we even hear the coil whine is because of the quietness of the consoles while gaming.
@@Parthurnax52 - That is part of it yes for sure as the fans used to drown out even the game audio but that is only a small facet of this issue (for example my PS4 Pro has a slight whine I never noticed as the fans drown it out... that said both my PS5s whine/buzz were FAR louder then the PS4's buzz fan or no so even if the fans were off on my PS4 Pro it would have been miles quieter then my PS5 with fans off). But you are still doing weird things like totally discounting what people say (I get people are an irrational lot sometimes but there is enough video evidence of this issue that I find it crazy that you think the way you do on this... but we all have different levels of reasoning and understanding of the topic/hardware).
- So to close, for some the coil whine is far louder then the average electronic device and that IS an issue for those people (RIGHTFULLY so). It is a lottery right now and some are quite and others are SUPER LOUD (I have seen some really nasty sounding ones on RUclips... maybe do more searching?). The PS5 should NOT be a lot louder then the Xbox Series X for example. Basically the same hardware so if you get one that is loud and it annoys you then there is an issue... full stop. Can some people deal with the noise? Sure but that is not the point. Anyways I hope you understand one day but either way I wish you all the best even if you cannot!
Those your ps5 make any clicking sounds once you turn it off
No. I may make a new video showing how it is silent when in homescreen or in rest mode now... it only buzzes a bit now when playing and even that is really quite.
Yeah that is normal, it is just the plastic cooling down after you turn it off. I have ghis on my ps4, ps5, xbox one, and all the tvs in my house.
@@globalarsalan4081 alright thanks
@@globalarsalan4081 - Oh wow I never even thought to answer like that as I felt that was too obvious (figured the noise had to be something other then cool down creaking if they were worried about it). Glad you were here for that ;)
You got the replacement unit from Sony?
Hey, can u check my video if my ps5 coil whine is normal or not?
Coil whine isn't that bad at all. It usually changes over time or might completely disappear if you're lucky. The most annoying sound the ps5 can make is that high pitched nidec fan noise.
That high pitched noise is not your fan. Both my units had that high pitched noise and I unplugged the fan while it was running on both and the noise was 100% still there. The fan thing is misinformation from bogus clickbait news articles.
I have 100% the same noise
I think it’s the power supply Mine is getting louder depending on the game i play Most of the games don’t make a loud noise but i can hear it in assassins valhalla on 4k mode but when I put it on fps mode the sound is different
If you have the game you should try it and tell me if u are the same as me
I did not have that game but I can confirm that each game has a different sound/rhythm to the buzz and changing modes within game changes the sound (like I show in the video).
Mine does the same thing between different render modes
Mine is alot worse than that but I honestly can't notice with my headset on, I mean the 3d audio is another experience in itself I personally couldn't play my ps5 without a headset
If it is that loud I would try the replacement but if you can live with it then yeah I get it.
Have u tested the noise on a ps5 game like spider man?
Just Astros for PS5 game. Spider-Man MM and RM are both still a PS4 games through and through so there would not be a lot of difference. It would only make the buzzing slightly louder or just change the tone/rhythm of the buzzing, probably would not even noticed the differnce.
@@PartStupid test destiny 2 PS5 version, makes coil whine unbearable.
How long did it take to get a replacement and what did you exactly message sony?
Took around 2 week all said and done. All I did was call Sony and told them the noise the PS5 made was driving me nuts and I could not live with it the way it is (which was true... the ring was driving me insane).
the clicking could be the sticker on the fan problem some ppl are having.
I appreciate the heads up but I took my fan out and held it in my hand and even unplugged it. All the noise was still there. It is 110% electrical noise.
Mine is near silent. Some people might be super sensitive but mine honestly in the middle of the night playing the most demanding games and I hear absolutely nothing (unless I get very close to the console) yes the fan is very quite and coil whine acts depending on how much current is being pulled, however when I remember the same scenario when I had my PS4 Pro where I couldn't hear the sound from TV, makes me happy that i have this console sitting next to me. This machine is silent enough that I play Cyberpunk and even if i turn my TV volume to zero in the middle of the night I will still hear nothing from about 4 ft where I sit.
They are all a bit different and some are far louder then others. Sounds like you got a decent one.
I feel like you need to have the ps5 by your ear to hear that. The noise wouldn't bother me, what will is its abnormal lol and I would want a normal ps5.
The new one yes... the old one no.
Mine is the same volume as the TV from 8 feet away
Hi could you mabye watch my video and tell me if this sound is normal? I think my ps5 sounds like yours. I dont hear it, when the game sound is on but when its off I definetely hear it. In my opinion sony could´ve made a better job.
How long did it take to get ur new ps5
2 weeks.
Its normal
So its normal its not a problem?
Common... but "normal"? Not really.
@@PartStupid ok but why does everyone have the same noise if it would be a problem there wouldn't be everyone who has the same noise right?
@@PartStupid and he have a boy have 3 ps5 And he do the same noise
@@Phoenix-nk5sm - Some have almost none. So that I why I say it is a very common issue but it was intended to be much quieter thus common instead of normal. But I am splitting hairs really.
@@PartStupid it depends who tells you that it is not noisy because my friends and the video shows a roaring roar and everyone we problem like them that they are replaced they can say that it does not make them but it we can never be listen before you know it me she does the brrrrrr but you have to get closer apart from her she never makes a noise except when I put a cd we hear the disc spinning but its normal so in my opinion it has no default
What fan you got
Dunno. Doesn't really matter. That fan nonsense and the sticker nonsense are just that... total nonsense. I took my fan out and even unplugged it and 100% of the noise was still there. It is NOT the fan.
@@PartStupid ok just asking as my friends was making alot more noise than mine he got a replacement and still the same good luck
@@galaxydave69 - It's the power supply and a lot of units have power supply coil buzzing or whining. It is a lottery right now with some having little buzzing to some having a lot or loud ringing. Also I need no luck, I sold my replacement a week ago ;)
This is so little problem 😀i have ps5 too and no problem this sound! Play old ps4...
Both sound terrible to me but again it is what it is with ps5 either put up with it or get a xbox series x ...
sounds like an Diesel engine, i feel u mine does the same weird noises🤨
Lol. Well I no longer have it. The fact it had no native forced supersampling (so the game I am playing RN looks way better on PS4 Pro) and no native Media Player (so if my internet is down I cannot stream files from my PC over my router network like I can with PS4 Pro). The PS4 Pro lacked these things for like 2 years so seems PS5 is sadly going the same "we will add it later... maybe" route.
I couldn't take the noise . It gave me ear ache. I had to get rid of the ps5 . Terrible hardware . My series X on the other hand is super quiet . I can game late at night with the volume on low and not have to put up with a constant buzzing noise and squealing sound .
I will try a ps5 again in 3 to 4 months and see if Sony changed anything inside the ps5 .
I actually sold mine over the weekend. Partly the buzz but mostly the lack of 1080p supersampling support (no native/forced supersampling on PS5 for PS4 games on a 1080p screen like PS4 Pro can do). Also no native Media Player yet.
@@PartStupid maybe in the next revision of the console things will be better
@@pollyaloy I doubt it because the 7000 model PS4 Pro had little to no coil whine and it got worse with the 7100 and 7200 revisions. Most people don’t notice or aren’t bothered by it so I don’t ever see Sony addressing it especially considering it’s still quieter than 90% of PC parts out there. If you want a close to silent console get the Series X and that’s coming from a die hard Sony fan boy.
@@racerboyo I had a PS4 pro it didn't have any coil whine since owning it from launch just noisy fans during some games . I have a series X and it's whisper quiet .it's fantastic. But my ps5 was terrible that buzzing noise often changed to a squealing sound it's all I could concentrate on during gaming and gave me ear fatigue. Then having to get up and press the ps5 panels because they started vibrating . Terrible machine . My series X works flawlessly .
@@pollyaloy my launch PS4 Pro developed coil whine after a year or so of use and the fan sounded like a hairdryer. Around late 2018 I got sick of the fan noise and changed the thermal paste and upgraded the thermal pads which help a lot with the fan noise. It didn’t make the fan silent but it made it quiet enough to not distract me but that’s when I started to notice some coil whine.
My PS5 has some coil whine but it doesn’t bother me and for the most part I don’t notice it with my speakers on or when wearing headphones. I still think Sony should get some quality control on there power supplies. My brother has the revised 7200 model PS4 Pro and the coil whine sounds nearly identical between his Pro and my PS5. I don’t have a Series X myself yet but my buddy sent me a video of his running Destiny 2 and it’s impressively quiet, but it’s also not too surprising since pretty much all Xbox One models are quieter then most PS4 models.
I also still have my Xbox One X and it’s noise level is about the same as my PS5 although my One X doesn’t have coil whine just a noisy HDD and the fan spins up on a few games like MW, Hitman and Red Dead.
i think there is no ps5 without coil whine. i mean srsly is there 1 video on youtube that shows a ps5 without coil whine (with gameplay like demon souls or spiderman)?
Yeah most of them have some level of it sadly. I hope Sony uses a higher rated PSU component in the future so it vibrates less.
My ps5 does this too its fuckin annoying! Every time you hop on a game with high demand it gets louder!
This is exactly how my new PS5 sounds. It was from the last batch so I think they fixed it in the recent units.
That is good to hear and know. I sold this replacement this weekend and will get a PS5 next year or so. Probably when the new God of War comes out and I finally decided to also upgrade my TV from 1080p.
Wdym from the last batch, how long ago did you get yours
@@spectre3805 - Oh you meant the OP... sorry.

@@yamisniper - That is part of it but not all of it. It is more prominent due to the fan being so quite but both f the buzzing was far worse then my PS4 Pro (but of course the fans on my PS4 Pro are far louder, but the buzzing itself is quieter on PS4 Pro since it used less wattage on the same buzzy part in the power supply then the PS5 does).

PS5...The most powerful noise box the world has ever known...
So you can play at 60fps huh? Well can you play at 60fps while there is a nest of bees in your console!? Huh!? Well CAN YOU!? I thought not. I win... bye bye.
LMAO ^_^
The only noise my PS5 makes is the disc drive when first starting up PS5 is loud or When putting a game in it's loud and then it goes silent for most of the time and once in awile it gets loud for a minute and then gets quiet again!
That must be your disc drive. DO me a small favor if you get time and think of it... try putting on Astro Playroom and get into gameplay and then mute the tv and get close to you console (the back side is where the noise comes from). Please let me know if you can hear a faint buzzing.
Sounds like the fan, not coil whine.
It's not the fan mine has the same noise
I know it might sound that way but I can assure you it not hat case. I even took that fan out of the console to test before sending it back and all that noise was still there with the fan feet away unplugged.
I’m sorry. This sound is unacceptable. My Playstation 5 makes the same noise when I’m playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Only during loading. It’s silent after that. Then, when I’m playing Playstation 5 games, there’s a loud buzzing noise.
I got series X all you hear is air coming out from fan. When I get PS5 it better not have this stupid noise
I hope you get lucky and get a silent one!
@@PartStupid thanks mate. This issue could also be fan grinding on loose sticker. Google it. Some people had to open it up and remove that fallen sticker which was getting grinded by fan. Because coil whine is a buzzing noise or high pitch whine sound. If you hear GRRRRRRRR sound could be grinding

@@PartStupid did you hear the same sound with no fan at all? Surely it can stay in system menu with no fan for at least 5 minutes. The switch can stay on for about 40 minutes or so with fan disabled. Spawnwave did this test
@@retrogamer64007 - Yes same sound even with the fan unplugged.
The noise on ur first one was the fan, No coil whine, fixable once u can buy third party PS5 fans or with coil-rings. On ur replacement console you have coil whine, not that easily fixable. Id say ur worse off now than before.
You probably have not see this but in comments I have stated that I took the fan out and held it in my hand and 100% of the noise was still there.
Also I still cannot understand why people do not take me for my word that the second one is quieter in person. I find this very odd, I get that the mic cannot pic up the fist ring as well as the buzzing but trust me it was far worse. Also if you listen closely the first one also has the buzzing noise in the background... the only reason you do not notice it is the ringing drowns it out.
I got mine a couple of days ago and I’m honestly worried as when I boot a game it’s louder than my PS4 pro 😂 If room is silent and tv on mute I can hear it clear as anything like a buzzing sound ruclips.net/video/LuYf_Lt26iQ/видео.html if anyone could tell me Is it worth sending back from all videos I have seen it seems a lot quieter than other peoples so might just hold on to it as took me so long to actually get one
Lovely quiet fan on this one, must be ‘type c’ (from official Sony Teardown)
Fans has nothing to do with this issue. I took mine out and held it in my hand and even unplugged it and all the noise was still there. That article and the one about the sticker are just just clickbait articles.

This cannot be fixed via update, it is a hardware issue.
Graphic card is overclocked so they can do update on it.
@@tomaskrisko2489 - I wont matter. All that might do is change the frequency of the sound. They will never be able to get rid of it on units that have it. Sorry.
Everyone here have coil whine on the ps5?
Look up coil whine fix it’s the psu the blue caps not glued so they vibrating on each other
Most of them have some level of it. Some get lucky though. From my understanding on the fix I watched by and actual tech guy it is a blue component in the power supply that vibrates internally under load. The reason for this, again by my understanding, is that the part is being used near its max limit thus causing more vibration then if the chip was rated for much higher voltage/wattage. The guy replaced it with one that was higher rated and it made it far quieter to the point of normal electronics noise range. But sadly for most of us this is not a solution we can perform ourselves... I hope Sony fixes this in their next revision.
Uhhg... your first unit sounds exactly like mine.
Sorry to hear that man. If it bugs you my advice would be to sell it fast on eBay before PS5's restock (if you do this just be sure to be up front about the noise in the listing so they have no excuse to try and return it)..
Those sounds sound horrible man. Mine is WAAAYYYY quite than that. Sheesh
I know they sound similarly loud but my second one is actually silent from a distance and much quieter then the video makes it seem (I think the microphone could not pick up the ringing noise as well due to it being too high frequency). The first one was much louder with its ringing noise. Glad you got an even quieter one though.
BTW you should make a video showing how quite yours is while gaming. Would help us get more examples to make a better conclusion with (assuming you are right about ti being way quieter when gaming).

I know it sounds that way through the video but I assure you that is not the case. I held the fan in my hand while it ran on both (it is super easy to take out). It is coming from way down at the bottom inside (in the power supply... the noise travels up through the fan so people think that it is the fan).
