I hope Sony learned from the PS4 fan noise problem. I am not to hopeful on that though. The fan noise of the PS3 was bad too.

Do you think Sony will get their act together when it comes to noise?

Which would be a big mistake. The hardware of the Xbox One is put together in a vastly better way. All versions of Xbox One, btw.
PS5 needs to be as quiet as those....
I did the same with liquid metal, together with the thermal pads. Did you forget those? Mine is whisper quiet for months now. I don't mind doing the same to the PS5 if it's sleek and doesn't look as hideous as Series X.
Yes, it really is. I had a faulty 1X that was about as noisy as the Pro and it was horrendous to play on.
Its telling that I have to turn my volume up to play stuff like GoW and shit. I shouldn't have to do that.
Even though I'm leaning toward PS5 next gen because of first party and compatibility, I got no problem getting SeX if Sony don't sort out the noise.
I'm not even greedy... I don't mind gentle hum. But some of their consoles have been appalling. The 60GB PS3 was the worst noise I've ever encountered. lol.

I didn't think the base ps4 was that loud. Never owned a pro though. I don't think it'll matter that much honestly. People will buy it unknowingly.
My launch ps4 is a jet engine anytime I play anything. Lately it's been overheating in like 20 minutes...I can't even play DMCV because it overheats too quick. I just got paste, pads, and will be operating on it this weekend....but I really hope this is fixed for next gen. Cause it's crazy how loud mine gets
I really hope so. My PS4 Pro is loud as hell and I regularly vacuum the fan/vents.
Meanwhile my Xbox One X is near silent.

It's a requirement for me to buy a PS5. I have a laughably loud PS4 Pro that I've retired to a dark closet. The shitty Pro hardware is a failure of engineering and Sony should be embarrassed that they ever sold that piece of shit. My old PS4 Amateur is still pretty silent no matter what I throw at it, I just use that now and enjoy the silence.
I'll let others beta test the PS5 for a while before I jump in. I rarely buy consoles at launch anyway.

I think it's the only thing people really complain about with PS4, besides the controller battery. I think there is a very strong possibility they will make that a design focus for PS5
It's never really been an issue for me personally, outside of a few scenes in GOW and Spider-Man

I sold my Pro and switched to Slim due to the noice, for me a silent console is important. PS5 better be silent.
I didn't realise just how much the noise of a console irritated me until I tried No Man's Sky on PS4 Pro. The noise that thing makes is absolutely outrageous.
I hope so. If PS5 is loud, I will never buy one. PS4 Pro was absolutely horrible with noise, so I sold it and haven't gone back. If I am spending 400 dollars, it should not sound like an airplane.
It better be silent. I don't care how big it has to be, but I don't want another jet airplane in my living room.
It's one of those features that would be nice to have but mainstream audience doesn't care enough to pay for (it would mean higher price for the console). So I guess if they really nail the design PS5 could be less noisy but otherwise...dunno. I guess we will see.
When it wakes up your mom sleeping in the other fucking room, yes, it fucking does. I cant play without headphones anymore, not with aaa games.
If sony launches this shit again next year, i am going to transfer myself to xbox.
My PS4 became too loud to use. It really soured me on the brand so I probably won't be getting a ps5.
It's straight up so loud it ruins the game your playing. It annoys anyone just in the same room as a game being played.
It sounds like the poor thing is being tortured, I'm surprised it hasn't crashed or died from how hard it's working to not melt.
For the platform that is most focused on "immersive" and "cinematic" experiences, yes they absolutely need to better with cooling/noise.

The fan is really small. Same size as laptop fans. They are the worst. Microsoft uses normal CPU cooler 120mm fans. They are way quieter and have a better cooling effect.
just cheeked the internals and its actually worse than just small, its a freaking blower!
Those things just need to go away...
Oh here is the xbox one, just for comparison.
Seems to me like Sony forgot those, not me. You should be asking Sony to have that shit pre-installed in the PS5, not pre-emptively getting ready to do it yourself.
Exactly this.just cheeked the internals and its actually worse than just small, its a freaking blower!

Sony started to use those freaking blowers since the PS3 slim. MS used three of them in the 360. The DVD drive and the three blowers sounded like a jet engine. But they changed it with the Xbox One gladfully.
Nintendo uses a blower too with the Switch. I think Nintendo began using them with the GameCube.
All they need to do is just get rid of that cheap blower fan for a quieter solution like the one used in Xbox One X or some other technique for their PS5. And they'll be golden.
But I won't get my hopes up. This is Sony.

Not really had any issues with noise since getting my launch Pro it's virtually inaudible other than map/title screens and most games have patched that out.
My launch ps4 started out really quiet but got really loud a couple of years in. That was the only reason I actually moved to the pro
