Your experience with fan noise during TLOU2?

[NHarmonic.]

Original PS4.
It was surprisingly quiet.

 

[elzeus]

Played on a pro and it wasn't that loud but I think it was because it wasn't getting pushed that hard because there wasn't much added in terms of enhancements.

 

[kris_ffc]

Much quieter than I thought it was going to be (2+ year old Pro). The fucking thing was on the verge of taking off playing COD: WW2 a couple of weeks before, so was dreading it. Even some previews mentioned it was loud, but it really wasn't that bad.

 

[George Romero]

depends, sometimes the console take fly, and sometimes is whisper quiet, it is very strange.

 

[-Le Monde-]

Played it on standard ps4, and I never noticed the fan. It's weird because I was expecting it to be loud after my recent experience with Days Gone.

 

[Chopin the Third]

No issues with Part II. I played for over 6 hours straight the other day and the noise level remained low. Outside of the rare occurrence in some Dreams creations and the GoW/Horizon map screen, my Pro is always quiet.

 

[Herey]

I had to play with headphones, was dreadful (headphones made for a better experience though). I had a fan on and I could hear my Pro above it at times.

 

[Thera]

First gen Pro owner, that's not that bad.
Still too loud for my taste but definitively not the worst.

 

[Rosol]

It wasn't bad at all for me on my Pro, I think I had one spike at the very end after playing it for 6-7 hours, but it seemed to go away shortly after. It's almost as if they tweaked the game to not produce console noise - a few more pixels usually isn't worth it. I've actually played a few games at forced 1080p on my pro only because of fan noise before.

 

[AzerPhire]

Launch PS4 and it is insanely loud. I'll see if I can post a video of it

Edit - here it is:

Loud PS4 Pro

[Sanctuary]

Was one of the quietest games on the Pro. Just about every other "Pro" enhanced game takes flight from time to time, and for odd reasons (like going into the menu on God of War). Then again, it could just be the nature of the few games I actually have on the system. Most of them are more open, and I think until TLOU 2, Nioh, Nioh 2 and Bloodborne were the narrowest in terms of level design.

 

[AndreGX]

Ridiculously loud on a base PS4. Had to hide the PS4 in an adjacent room and shut the door only to *mostly* drown out the noise.

 

[Kuosi]

Pro, surprisingly quiet, I've had way worse, still played with headphones tho

 

[ss_lemonade]

Fan noise is reasonable, especially when compared to other games which causes my Pro's fans to run at ridiculous levels.

 

[IIFloodyII]

My base PS4 handled it pretty well for awhile, nothing too out the ordinary, until it get pretty hot in my city and then it got extremely loud towards the end of the game, like I could hear it despite wearing headphones loud. My PS4 was starting to overheat though, so not too surprising, I got a warning as the credits started, kinda super lucky timing.

 

[HardRojo]

Death Stranding Pro: Surprisingly quiet, way quieter than when I play RDR2 (the only game so far that has made its fans sound louder than usual.

2014 Base PS4: Lent it to a friend so that he could play TLoU Part II, he sent me some voice notes to hear the fans and damn, that beast sure roars!

 

[rude]

My launch PS4 Pro does not make any noise ever, regardless of game. I am blessed.

 

[GongagaSOLDIER]

Surprised to see so many saying it was quiet; mine has, for the entire run, sounded like it was preparing to take off. Edit: Launch PS4 Pro here.

 

[Tali'Zorah]

Pretty loud on my slim, but that's par for the course with big recent triple A games

 

[danhz]

My ps4 fat is fine, does some noise, but nothing annoying

 

[Meows]

It isn't any worse than Final Fantasy VII was (so very bad still).

I play with headphones to cancel it out.

 

[Footos22]

Quieter then alot of games. But I did change the thermal paste at the start of the year

 

[Digital Savior]

I've only had my Pro since November. Never really had any issues with noise. Even with the last of us.

 

[LetalisAmare]

On Pro. Pretty quiet to be honest. I was expecting Modern Warfare type noise but its been fine.

 

[Dog]

Really fucking loud. (Latest model Pro, just under a year old)

 

[GBknight]

PS4 pro and it was quiet.

I did clean it out right before I got the game maybe that helped?

 

[painlanguage]

Original PS4.
It was surprisingly quiet.

Click to shrink...

Same here. I did open it and clean it about a week before. There was a bit of dust in the fan.

 

[Wink784]

Launch PS4. I've been playing Wasteland 2 before, that game made it sound like the much cited jet engine and was basically impossible to play without headphones. During TLOU2 it was clearly noticable, but not nearly as bad as it can be. Considering what that box had to render on screen I would call it shockingly quiet even.

 

[Ferdie]

I have 2016 Slim and it was loud as hell. Not the loudest but annoying even when using headphones.

Slim is supposed to be very quiet but mine was never like that.

I'm pretty sure the fan noise woke my brother up when I was playing Until Dawn once.

 

[HMD]

It was a new PS4 Pro and I was dreading the worst, but my AC was louder and I didn't hear anything like my base PS4 noise playing FFVII.

 

[PSOreo]

Launch PS4 too; no noise. I wonder if the two discs have anything to do with it because RDR2 was fine too while God of War and Uncharted 4 were like several jumbo jets taking off.

 

[LonestarZues]

Launch PS4 Pro and minimal noise except in the pause screen.

 

[@dedmunk]

It's whisper quiet(tm)

😉

 

[Y2Kev]

Naughty Dog is flexing. They only used 20% of the PS4's power.

 

[Darkonda]

Launch Pro here and sounded like turbines on turbo all the way to the end. TLOU2 is my personal GOTY right now but I thought the game would kill my system.

 

[Tagg]

Mine was decently noisy but nowhere near as loud as it was during games like God of War and Horizon.

 

[Night Hunter]

Launch PS4 and honestly, I expected much worse. I was actually surprised that it stayed pretty quiet.

 

[y2dvd]

Mines was hella loud often. I guess it's just my console.

 

[KillingJoke]

Loud just like every AAA i play. Launch Pro.

 

[defaltoption]

Loud as heck the whole time but not the loudest it's ever been.

 

[Aurongel]

Loud as fuck and distracting.

Spring 2019 PRO.

 

[OneThirtyEight]

Release day PS4. Cleaned it in january.
Not loud at all. I can hear it but game sound was way loder.

 

[Spark]

Loud as fuck.

 

[Team_Feisar]

Heh from the title I thought this would be another thread about the critical reception XD

The Pro has been extremely quiet for me

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

Actually none and am using a launch day PS4 (normal).

 

[Soriku]

A little noisy on the main menu, after that it's normal. My PS4 Pro in general is nowhere near as noisy as my base PS4 which had the fan blaring every game.

 

[K' Dash]

Better than expected to be honest.

I should clarify that it was still loud, but not at RDR2 levels, I played with headphones all the time so it wouldn't bother me anyway.

 

[The Shape]

Not unlike other games I've played this year.

Also very different from Horizon's and God of War's map screen. I feared that would actually destroy my console.

I had one playthrough with headphones and one without. The one with headphones was better, of course. But even in the one without the fans didn't bother me much.

 

[Strangelove_77]

About as noisy as when I play anything with good graphics or a large world.

 

[golem]

Launch Pro, the fans were definitely on but it didnt sound like the console was on the verge of taking off
