Your experience with fan noise during TLOU2?

Playstation Pro from when the thing launched and that shit has been getting louder and louder since about a year ago. I cleaned it thoroughly and the noise still is as loud as a cheap gaming laptop.
But not as bad during last of us. But maybe that might be because I moved into a new apartment.

I always play anygame with headphone but even when removing them to take a break I didn't really notice. Then again my main PC is gaming laptop so I'm using to heavy fan noise anyway.
Definitely audible but not terrible on my launch PS4. No need for headphones. I was expecting worse, to be honest.
Didnd't notice it too much on my pro or my launch PS4. I will say though, I no longer keep my PS4 in a tv cabinet and have put it on top instead. Having the PS4 really helps with the cooling.
Fucking horrible, worse that I expected and more audible than GOW even. I mean, I get that being summer it makes it worse, but even then my gf shouldn't be able to hear my game console when she wants to sleep in the next room. Also, not only noise, but heat also. I have it under the TV on a cabinet with no doors, laying flat alone with 15cm free of space all around it. Under the PS4 Pro, I save some controllers and a Mac Mini. Every time I stop playing (like 1.30-2 hour sessions), if I touch the Mac mini, which is umplugged and separated from my PS4 by a 3cm wood and 25cm of air space on top of it, that thing is HOT.
The PS4 Pro cooling system is the most annoying thing this whole generation and basically a big big fail in design. I hope they step up the game big time with the PS5 because this is unnaceptable.

My PS4 Pro seldom gets too loud to begin with, though its audible in the Horizon map screen and Dreams main menu.
Was surprisingly quiet for the majority of TLOU pt 2!

It was nearly impossible to hear the environmental sounds, people talking in the distance, or any kind of sound that wasn't a gun shot or an explosion. And then, those sounds would destroy my ears.
I was playing with a 5.1.2 setup at a high volume.

I played with headphones on the entire time, but in the brief periods that I took them off, I found the fan noise to be noticeable but not worrying. Conversely, I can point to my experiences with God of War, Days Gone (menu specifically) and COD Modern Warfare as times where I thought I was seriously testing the limits of my console.
I will say that any time someone came close to my room while I was playing, they remarked that it was too warm for their own liking. My Pro would've been a fairly decent heating investment in the middle of winter.

Pretty loud on base PS4 for me, though recently not so bad now as the external temperature has climbed down in the UK.
Still I mostly play with headphones on.

Getting to the last area of the game in our no-headphones playthrough, and there's been a noticeable increase in fan noise. Seattle was the same for 20 hours, so it was very easy to hear the change.
It fucking sucks.

I have a launh pro, and i played, both digital and physical. I can safely say digital is more loud.
