Yeah, super loud, then after that, it says "unsupported disc" but still lets me start the game from the disc. Odd.

Time to turn on the ps5
- Thread starter Like the hat?

I just put in a standard bluray movie. It's not as loud. Must be a game disc thing. But I don't own any uhd movies to test that out. Would be a terrible movie watching experience if uhd movies was also this loud lol

Damn, so my drive might be faulty. Ah well, I can live with the spin noise.
Same. I really cannot believe the size of the thing and it's still so noisy. What the hell are Sony even doing these days? After the shit I put up with on the PS4 "Pro" there is no way I want this thing in my house the way things stand right now.
The Disc edition is super quiet as well. Unless you play a disc game where it literally just revs up once every ... 30 or 60 minutes to verify the disc, and it does so for like 10 seconds and then it's back to being quiet.
It's no big deal whatsoever.
I wouldn't care about the noise when its booting up a game or copying. Its the spinning up at intervals while you're playing that's annoying.
I don't find the disc drive in my PS5 to be noisy. It's not silent, but it's significantly less audible than my PS4 Pro disc drive was. Aside from that, I can't even hear the PS5 when it's on.
But as some have pointed out, try adjusting the stand and see if that helps with the disc drive noise.

PS3 slim was an absolute tank. I've only now started having trouble with my disc drive and I think it's just a worn out belt.
It startles the hell out of me if I forget I have a disc in. Thanks for reminding me I do by the way.
Here's mine.
Same noise whether it's vertical or horizontal. I've also put foam pads under the stand so the vibrations are contained within the console.
Let's just say outside of big release where I can save a significant amount on money on physical, I'll mostly be sticking to digital games this gen.
Why does the PS5 spin up once every 45 minutes? Is it some kind of DRM? Because isnt that what Xbox One team got roasted for wanting to do in 2013?
Or is this something else?

It's because the system checks if there's still a disk still inserted.
I think this is the real answer. Google noisy uhd drive and you'll find complaints that aren't specific to a player/console.
I get that, but I was wondering if its DRM related. Guess it has to be, why else would it do it?
My biggest problem with starting up the PS5 is that if you have a headphone plugged in the startup jingle doesn't play.
Instead you only start getting sound to the headphones once you've selected a profile with your controller, by which time the jingle is over.
I really like the PS5 jingle as well.
