I got really concerned when my drive was making rattling and scratching noises. I followed your instructions and it's perfectly quiet again. Thank you. There was one difference though the sticker on my drive had a pre cut so no need to remove it.
Make sure that its not just the top plate (in horizontal mode). I noticed my sound went away when pressing the top plate, and I was able to fix the issue by popping off the top plate and putting a rubber bumper (I would guess about 12mm) directly on top of the fan grate. No more noise!
I'm still really surprised by how damn loud that disk drive is even after being 'fixed'? I can't believe it! It's louder than my entire PC with all the fans turned on full blast?!??!
Yeah. It’s just how things are. It’s a high speed Blu Ray drive. Those are loud. I mean it’s a disc spinning at ridiculous speeds to read huge amounts of data.
man. I cannot thank you enough for this. this was my problem since I got my PS5 back at launch and I couldn't find a solution till now. other videos kept saying it was some sort of sticker inside the disc drive but that wasn't it for me. I am forever grateful. you sir have earned yourself a like and subscribe liked and subscribed CHEERS
This problem appeared two weeks ago and it began to be annoying and also it made me anxious because I didn’t understand the reason of it. After I watched your video, I did exactly the same thing and it worked like a charm. You are very good at explaining and you helped a lot. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work!!!
This needs to be mentioned you should be very careful to not unscrew too far. Ive seen plenty of ppl doing this and they broke their disc driver so the disc driver doesnt take in any discs and they had to send it back to Sony for repairs
@@TrophyHunterEG RIP. You could have also placed a mouse pad underneath the PS5 it reduces some of the noise. But i guess this is coming too late for you now 😓
I cannot thank you enough. I recently just got my PS5 and noticed the disc drive did seem loud but I thought it was normal until I put a movie in. Holy shit I thought it was going to break. After doing this it's whisper quiet now. Thanks again.
I just got my ps5 recently as well and damn it gets loud when I put a 4K Blu-Ray into the disc drive. It's super quiet with regular Blu-Rays tho... I haven't tried a game yet so I'm not sure if it'll get loud then as well. Did this trick actually help you and make your console quieter? Did you do it like the guy in the video so that the disc just barely comes out? I'm thinking of trying this myself but I'm a little unsure.
I had some discs make insanely loud sound and others didn't. I did this operation and indeed the loud discs are now as quiet as the quiet ones. Thank you.
Awesome guide, this actually fixed my problem. Legit sounded like my electric shaver, there was no way it was an acceptable sound. I followed your steps exactly as shown and the shaver noise has disappeared. Thank you!
A third tip is to place a soft thick mouse pad underneath your console. That fixed/reduced my resonance problem. I might try this solution too, once the NVMe slot is activated. Then i might as well do this + the "double sided adhesive" tip from your other video while opening up the console.
Yes. The double sided tape is actually the same fix as the mouse pad. The mouse pad just seems so hokey, I like solutions that make it look normal from the outside
Thanks a lot. I had the playstation 5 already since the release. Never had any problems with the disc drive noise. Recently moved to another country and took the playstation on a airplane. After that the disc noise started. I tried different things to fix it but I gave up. The noise was getting really bad Recently again. Only when loading or installing from disc.. not when idle. I tried your method and this instantly fixed the noise. I'm so happy. Great video. 👍
Thank you bro, it all of a sudden started sounding louder this week and know that I’ve had the PS5 since March. Once I saw this video it helped reduce the noise. 👍liked
I was searhching out how to fix my ps5 disc noise, since it sounding like a leaf blower close up and I found your video and did the instructions step by step and it worked! The sound was literally night and day, I hardly hear it anymore. Thank you so much with your help. The only thing was that mine didn't have a sticker on it, but that it a non-issue.
It's ok. The info is buried deep in their own website. It's hard to find and a little scary to try Thats why I made the video so people can see it done and decide if it's for them or not
I have had trouble with my PS5 since day 1. I even sent it back to Sony and they sent it back to me unfixed. I spent months trying to sort it out with them and nothing. I cannot believe this video helped me fix it myself in 5 minutes when Sony couldn't. Thank you so much!
exactly what i had. ive had mine since day one last year but only recently it started making that low buzzing noise. it was slowly getting more loud and obnoxious. taking the disc out manually did the job, thanks!
I just laid my PS5 down after hearing this noise. It already sounds better but I'll definitely keep an ear on it. This leads me to believe having the system vertical has its problems. Glad I came across this video either way.
Thanks for the vid! I noticed that it’s not as loud when you use a PS5 disc as opposed to a PS4 disc. I did exactly what you did in the video and it’s quieter but not as much for me. Especially with the PS4 discs. I legit thought my disc drive was already messing up.
I did as he instructed in the video but now it won't take the disc. I turned the screw counter clockwise, once and it made a noticeable sound. I wasn't sure if that was normal or not so I left it alone. But you had a similar issue, turned it counter clockwise and it worked. Any problems up until now?
OMG thank you so much. I just got my PS5 and I was really worried because the disc drive alone was louder than my entire PC. This solution actually fixed the issue and now I can barley hear it.
yesterday i put in a blu-ray disk drive & when i pressed the eject button from my console, it started making cracking noises & it wouldn’t come out, so i was panicking & unplugged the power cord, so once i turned it back on, i hold the eject button & it came out. But this only happens on my blu-ray disks but not my ps4 games. Does this have something to do with system software updates or the ps5 disk drive is broken?
@@GearsAndTech it happens only sometimes when I leave a disc in it but it shouldn't be doing that also I contacted Sony yesterday and my address changed someone claiming to be my brother basically changed my address to theres I certainly didn't change anything and I sent them an email saying it's an act of fraud and it should be sent to my address not some guy called Henry.
@@Frayicz21 your ps5 is exactly the same as mine. Only 4k movies generally start crunching during an eject. Apparently I've heard sony just replaces your whole console but I don't want to have to uninstall my data and send the ps5 out to get fixed especially when they're so hard ro get in the first place. Why can't sony just let m buy a new bluray drive and I'll fix it myself. Much more ball ache sending the entire unit in the mail..... frustrated
Wow, actually didn’t think this would work. I got my PS5 this week with a little to noisy disc drive for my taste, tried your tutorial and it made a huge difference.
This worked like a charm, the buzzing stopped! Now its just a soft fan noise when the drive is booting/loading disc games. Thanks man. But for the record, my buzzing wasn't nearly as bad as some of this examples. I guess the drive is loose or something, and pressure fixed it? Or the floor stops the vibrations, idk.
Mine wasn't as bad as the other examples I showed either. But this did improve it If you want it dead silent try the coil whine fix I just posted. Mine is totally quiet now!
Mine was really noise when i first bought. After a few months noise lowered down. Now i did this procedute and noise lowered even more, all good here, thank you for the guide!
i have had mine for about a year now and never bothered until installing RDR2 today. takes a while so i decided to watch netflix. But that buzz was overpowering so i decided to give this a try. Its so much better! thank you
I did watch this video months ago after first receiving my ps5 but never ended up doing it until just now. Only felt the need to because the drive was at least 10x louder than usual. Anyhow, after doing this fix, it seems to be worse lol.
My ps5 is a new model and no have a stick, but had the same noise the video. I do what you say and the noise is gone. Very thank you. Its the only video that talks about it.
Thank you for this fix. Definitely makes a difference. Actually it was never a problem until I recently put in a disc cleaner. Then the problems started. Never will do that again...😂
This seems to have fixed my noisy disc drive too. Many thanks! I'm curious though: what does turning the screw actually do? I mean, HOW does turning the screw fix the problem?
My PS5 made loud sound when i turn it on and when i put my disc, the sound is loud and then it slowly slow it down after a few second, thanks for this video it really fix my problem, love it 👏

Thanks man, panicked a bit at first as the drive would take my disk only half way and then bend it a bit to the left but moved the screw counter and clock wise until it took the disk by pushing it,now it works like a charm,no buzzing noise just the regular one. A thing I'ved found out was that PS5 disvs made more noise,spinned faster and the buzzing was like... now nothing,just the woshh a normal drive does, please update the video incase this happens to somebody else,thanks
@@GearsAndTech mine has a buzz when loading up the game, then after loading the disc the buzz is still there only a little more quiet, and i notice what almost sounds like a frequency sound when opening/closing the game in the ui, even with Astro’s Playroom
It might be one of the plates vibrating, then. Try putting slight pressure on one of the edges while it‘s making that sound to see if that reduces it. Also check if your stand is attached properly. Is your console set up horizontally or vertically? For some, the noise is supposedly less prominent when horizontal, though I guess that‘s mostly for those with disc drives.
@@Shiva-xz9vd ya i noticed the buzz is from the plate which is ok, but the psu noise doesnt go away, it has different sounds when playing diff games...and its set up horizontal
This broke my diskdrive! Can get any disk in anymore😅 I had to get the disk in as far as possible, then press the eject button and forged the disk in completely, also had to turn back that screw left side untill I heard a click. Thankfully it's working again now but it still sounds the same. Only makes noice sometimes though so I keep it this way. Thanks for almost giving me a heart attack 😂
Yeah dont do it, its too risky. Especially since this loud noise is normal for when you install from a disc. There is also some sound when you insert a disc and start up a game but it will go away after ~30 sec. Sometimes when playing a game for a long time you might hear the disc drive making some noise again but it will be gone soon. The sound of installing a disc reminds me of an unbalanced centrifuge, though this one is much scarier and easily preventable than a disc drive lol
Wow, just tried it and I cant believe it works. My PS5 was embarrassingly loud whenever there was a disc in the drive and it booted. Now it sounds normal. Offcourse you van hear the disc spinning but previously it sounded like an old fax machine being put in a blender. Thanks for the excellent video!
Strangely mine doesn't have the sticker. It almost looks like the sticker was removed because I see a ring where it was. I figured while I put my SSD in might as well try to do the disc drive thing as well. And it's alot quite now
I’ve bought 2, the first has the loud fan and the second has a defective fan so that’s sent for warranty. This second one also makes this noise from time to time.
So glad I came across this video. Definitely helped bring that sound down a lot and was so easy to do. Dont know if its all models, but mine (gotten on release) had the black sticker have a slit across it where i could put the screwdriver into without having to take it off.
Thank you, this totally worked. My ps5 sounded like a helicopter ready to take off but this completely fixed it. Oddly enough I didn't even have that sticker there even though I bought my console brand new.
I got rid of that noise for about 6 months by tightening what I thought was a loose screw.Unfortunately noise is back now and all the screws are tight.I have another 4 months of warranty left .I will wait and exchange it eventually before it expires.This fix didnt change anything for me.
im unsure whether im actually having the issue, i only hear a noise when i start the console or insert a disc and it goes silent shortly afterwards. the noise i hear is also less severe than any of the examples shown in this video. im just wondering if this is actually normal and nothing to worry about?
Did anyone else not have a tab or sticker covering up that little screw? I just did this to mine and it didn’t have it at all. Also great tip! Mine went from making a loud jet engine type sound to barely any noise at all! Thank you!
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, I did this and it wouldn’t take a disc back in. You also cannot simply turn the screw anti clockwise to loosen the disk drive. I managed to get it to take a disc again by standing the ps5 upright with the cover off and doing a safe mode reset and playing around with the eject button. This instructional definitely works, but needs a warning of over tightening. Better to tighten a little bit n then have to do it again a little bit more till it’s good than doing to much straight away.
Happened to me with a PS5 Slim and worked for a week or so. Did it again and now it’s back normal. So disappointed with Sony and this generation man. They made the worst looking consolle, the worst engeneering and cheap product they could make. I’m actually starting to lean torward Xbox, with the pass etc. They just doesn’t deserve money anymore Thank you very much for the tutorial
I thought there was something wrong with my PS5, as from the beginning it was quiet then all the sudden this noise starts a few months into using it. Gonna try this as soon as I can!
This worked for me. Funny, though, they've updated the site and removed the instructions you reference: They no longer have an option for disc noise and recommend talking to support now.
Mine started with this sound yesterday (was never having such a sound since launch( and first i was so scared that it maybe scraches my discs😂 but thanks to you i know how to fix it now (just ordered a tiny screw driver)
mine was loud but not this loud until today, after the update that i was told shoul had fixed some of the noise problems... this trick lowered the noise a lot, but it's still my little pretty jet engine
Worked a treat, was apprehensive about doing it as it means messing about with the disc drive. Thanks for your easy to follow tips. I did get a little concerned as it did take a few good turns of the screwdriver to release the disc that’s when panic set in but it eventually popped out,side note there was no sticker covering my screw and I’ve had mine from new, Sony cost cutting on cover stickers maybe 😂 I’ve subscribed to your channel. Perfect!!
@@GearsAndTech question for you, do you have to turn the screw until the disc is fully visible or just so you can get hold of it. My drive is still making a bit of noise but not like it was and I’ve seen other video clips actually turning the screw until the disc is fully visible. I just didn’t know if that would help a bit more with the noise but I didn’t want to risk turning the screw too much incase I damaged the drive?
@@GearsAndTech When you boot up the Ps it still thinks the disc is inside it so wont take the disc bk in. i had to select my last played disc game, hit options menu and then press eject. Then it accepts the disc. Boot up disc spin noise is there while ps is starting up but once that is over the console runs quietly. Thank you Gt Canada
This has happened to me, it stopped pulling in the disc. I have tried ejecting the "unknown disc", but did not try ejecting on the game i last had disc for. Had to send this in for fixing on warranty.
Mine is was loud when I put the first ever disk in it , it was kinda loud at first but after like 2 minutes it went away now it barely makes noise I’m just not going to play with the disk drive
I had my console coming today. After inserting a Blu-ray of The Last of Us part 2 from PS4 I realized it was doing a lot of noise. However after allowing the console some time in order to completely install the game about 80% of the noise was gone. Now it occurs only if you re-insert the disc for a couple of seconds. Stil, I tried this method but generally speaking, at least in my case, it seems that it only gets loud if it is installing something. I think from my experience even with the older consoles the disc drive always makes some noise unfortunately, and some times may create further problems too, like the yellow light of death in ps3?!
Nice. It didn't work right on but as soon as I ejected the disc and inserted with the console on, the noise was like 70% lower. Thank you so much man. Sorry bout my poor english heh.

Whelp, the missing sticker part sucks but glad it worked for ya!
Mine is making a rattling noise but I don’t have a disc in it
Make sure that its not just the top plate (in horizontal mode). I noticed my sound went away when pressing the top plate, and I was able to fix the issue by popping off the top plate and putting a rubber bumper (I would guess about 12mm) directly on top of the fan grate. No more noise!
What kind of bumper and where did you get it?

Jesus, mine makes noise when downloading from the disc, but not that much noise.
Same my ps5 gets laud when I’m downloading games or when I insert a disk

The sound is your game spinning up. It's loud normally. But if it sounds like it's eating your game then this will help
@@GearsAndTech mine has a buzz when loading up the game, then after loading the disc the buzz is still there only a little more quiet, and i notice what almost sounds like a frequency sound when opening/closing the game in the ui, even with Astro’s Playroom
It might be one of the plates vibrating, then. Try putting slight pressure on one of the edges while it‘s making that sound to see if that reduces it. Also check if your stand is attached properly.
Is your console set up horizontally or vertically? For some, the noise is supposedly less prominent when horizontal, though I guess that‘s mostly for those with disc drives.
@@Shiva-xz9vd ya i noticed the buzz is from the plate which is ok, but the psu noise doesnt go away, it has different sounds when playing diff games...and its set up horizontal
I think you have coil whine.
This broke my diskdrive! Can get any disk in anymore😅 I had to get the disk in as far as possible, then press the eject button and forged the disk in completely, also had to turn back that screw left side untill I heard a click. Thankfully it's working again now but it still sounds the same. Only makes noice sometimes though so I keep it this way. Thanks for almost giving me a heart attack 😂
Yeah dont do it, its too risky. Especially since this loud noise is normal for when you install from a disc. There is also some sound when you insert a disc and start up a game but it will go away after ~30 sec. Sometimes when playing a game for a long time you might hear the disc drive making some noise again but it will be gone soon. The sound of installing a disc reminds me of an unbalanced centrifuge, though this one is much scarier and easily preventable than a disc drive lol
Wow, just tried it and I cant believe it works. My PS5 was embarrassingly loud whenever there was a disc in the drive and it booted. Now it sounds normal. Offcourse you van hear the disc spinning but previously it sounded like an old fax machine being put in a blender. Thanks for the excellent video!
Glad it worked
Had mine since uk launch and this became an issue. I’m always really hesitant to open consoles up. But this was easy and so far worked thank you.
Strangely mine doesn't have the sticker. It almost looks like the sticker was removed because I see a ring where it was. I figured while I put my SSD in might as well try to do the disc drive thing as well. And it's alot quite now
I’ve bought 2, the first has the loud fan and the second has a defective fan so that’s sent for warranty. This second one also makes this noise from time to time.
Fixed my ps5, thanks from Germany, nice video!
Wow I wish I did this sooner!! Worked like a charm! It’s sooo quiet. Now I don’t have to worry about waking up my family in the morning haha
So glad I came across this video. Definitely helped bring that sound down a lot and was so easy to do. Dont know if its all models, but mine (gotten on release) had the black sticker have a slit across it where i could put the screwdriver into without having to take it off.
Thank you, this totally worked. My ps5 sounded like a helicopter ready to take off but this completely fixed it. Oddly enough I didn't even have that sticker there even though I bought my console brand new.
Newer ones don't have the sticker. I have an older model and a newer one.
Oh shit so it’s the disk drive that’s making the noise I thought it was my fan, that’s why it doesn’t sound like a fan, thanks for this video.
I’ve had mine since launch and it’s never done that before and it’s just now starting to do that
Wow it really worked. I split my sticker in half during the process but now it's not loud anymore. Thank you 👊
Do I still need the sticker
No, you can toss the sticker. The new ones don't even have a sticker
Omg!! It actually worked!! Iv had that noise since the day of release and couldn't find a fix... Untill now!! Thank you 🙌
I got rid of that noise for about 6 months by tightening what I thought was a loose screw.Unfortunately noise is back now and all the screws are tight.I have another 4 months of warranty left .I will wait and exchange it eventually before it expires.This fix didnt change anything for me.
The final fantasy remake still runs loud but it doesn't sound like a garbage disposal anymore so thank you.
traded my digital edition for a disk edition cuz the person was worried about the noise, this video was an awesome fix and took legit a minute 🤙
Great deal
This fix works. My PS5 sounds like it did when I initially bought it. Much appreciated!🙏🏾
Glad I could help
Mine sounded just like fire natsus, but now its far more reasonable thanks too following this tutorial, thank you
This worked great for me! Did it today and it is back to normal. Great video
This worked for me , it's almost completely silent now !!!! Thankyou
Haven’t even had mine a month and it started doing this thankfully I came across your video it helped a lot
Glad to hear
I did the fix in the video. It worked for a couple uses, but now it's back to being noisy again, maybe even a little worse than before.
Must be normal
My digital ps5 is making a loud buzzing noise when playing high demanding games like fortnite etc. Is that normal?
Probbaly the fan.
Thanks helped so much I was worried about the case breaking but I pulled and pushed and it eventually came right off
thank you very much, the disc drive is now normal disc drive volume now.
Glad to help
im unsure whether im actually having the issue, i only hear a noise when i start the console or insert a disc and it goes silent shortly afterwards. the noise i hear is also less severe than any of the examples shown in this video. im just wondering if this is actually normal and nothing to worry about?
Same
It's the same here but it doesn't last long and the game runs.
Thank you! no more loud ass chainsaw noises when I boot up my system with a game in it!
Thanks a million... it still is a bit loud...but as you said that is to expected... but much improved
Man this really helped fr my disc drive was mainly loud when I launched the game so I did this and it worked like a charm so thank you!!
Glad it helped
Great video! Went from making a lot of noise to complete silence
Did anyone else not have a tab or sticker covering up that little screw? I just did this to mine and it didn’t have it at all. Also great tip! Mine went from making a loud jet engine type sound to barely any noise at all! Thank you!
Most newer systems don't have the sticker.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, I did this and it wouldn’t take a disc back in. You also cannot simply turn the screw anti clockwise to loosen the disk drive.
I managed to get it to take a disc again by standing the ps5 upright with the cover off and doing a safe mode reset and playing around with the eject button.
This instructional definitely works, but needs a warning of over tightening. Better to tighten a little bit n then have to do it again a little bit more till it’s good than doing to much straight away.
Did the same and it's still kinda loud! Don't know if I should do it again or leave it like that...
Happened to me with a PS5 Slim and worked for a week or so. Did it again and now it’s back normal.
So disappointed with Sony and this generation man. They made the worst looking consolle, the worst engeneering and cheap product they could make. I’m actually starting to lean torward Xbox, with the pass etc. They just doesn’t deserve money anymore
Thank you very much for the tutorial
Glad I could help
This fixed my issue. Thank you, I thought my PS5 was starting to fail.
I thought there was something wrong with my PS5, as from the beginning it was quiet then all the sudden this noise starts a few months into using it. Gonna try this as soon as I can!
Did this and it broke my disc drive. I cannot insert a disc anymore. Very cool.
Do the same steps but backwards. It'll suck the disc back in and will work again
This worked for me. Funny, though, they've updated the site and removed the instructions you reference: They no longer have an option for disc noise and recommend talking to support now.
Double check the country you're looking at.
It was only active on USA Sony site. If you defaulted to Canada it was never there
I guess they stopped putting stickers there altogether, mine didn't have any stickers at all
Yes. Newer ones have no sticker
Mine started with this sound yesterday (was never having such a sound since launch( and first i was so scared that it maybe scraches my discs😂 but thanks to you i know how to fix it now (just ordered a tiny screw driver)
mine was loud but not this loud until today, after the update that i was told shoul had fixed some of the noise problems... this trick lowered the noise a lot, but it's still my little pretty jet engine
can you link the screw driver? I need to buy one too as my ps5 is making the same noise and Id like to fix it.
@@jeezyboy3602 i got the IFIXIT Pro Tech Toolkit with it you have alot of other screw heads aswell (i need it also for other consoles i have)
If you'll be doing any work on different game systems this is the one I would recomend

Top man was worried about doing this. Ps5 nice and quiet again 😊
Thanks for the visit
Many thanks! Had exactly the same issue and this fix has worked a dream.
This FIXED MY PROBLEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. i feel like sony shouldnt hav let problmens like this occur at al
Mine makes that noise not as loud but when I put the disc in it makes that noise
Thanks alot man! It made the noise from the disk drive 50% lower in volume! Thanks alot for the clear instructions!
Worked a treat, was apprehensive about doing it as it means messing about with the disc drive. Thanks for your easy to follow tips. I did get a little concerned as it did take a few good turns of the screwdriver to release the disc that’s when panic set in but it eventually popped out,side note there was no sticker covering my screw and I’ve had mine from new, Sony cost cutting on cover stickers maybe 😂 I’ve subscribed to your channel. Perfect!!
Yes, many people have reported not having the sticker.
Every penny counts
@@GearsAndTech question for you, do you have to turn the screw until the disc is fully visible or just so you can get hold of it. My drive is still making a bit of noise but not like it was and I’ve seen other video clips actually turning the screw until the disc is fully visible. I just didn’t know if that would help a bit more with the noise but I didn’t want to risk turning the screw too much incase I damaged the drive?
I heard some people have an issue where the disc drive doesnt pull in the disc after turning the eject screw. has this been the case for you?
I have had no problems at all
@@GearsAndTech When you boot up the Ps it still thinks the disc is inside it so wont take the disc bk in. i had to select my last played disc game, hit options menu and then press eject. Then it accepts the disc. Boot up disc spin noise is there while ps is starting up but once that is over the console runs quietly. Thank you Gt Canada
Thanks for the update.
Thats weird, I never had that issue. When I booted back up it just accepted my disc right away
This has happened to me, it stopped pulling in the disc. I have tried ejecting the "unknown disc", but did not try ejecting on the game i last had disc for. Had to send this in for fixing on warranty.
Mine is was loud when I put the first ever disk in it , it was kinda loud at first but after like 2 minutes it went away now it barely makes noise I’m just not going to play with the disk drive
Thank you so much. I will try this today. Mine is incredibly loud.
I'm surprised this still happens on the latest 1200 models. I just got the PS5 last week and it does thjs
I had my console coming today. After inserting a Blu-ray of The Last of Us part 2 from PS4 I realized it was doing a lot of noise. However after allowing the console some time in order to completely install the game about 80% of the noise was gone. Now it occurs only if you re-insert the disc for a couple of seconds. Stil, I tried this method but generally speaking, at least in my case, it seems that it only gets loud if it is installing something.
I think from my experience even with the older consoles the disc drive always makes some noise unfortunately, and some times may create further problems too, like the yellow light of death in ps3?!
Love you man, you saved my ears
Nice. It didn't work right on but as soon as I ejected the disc and inserted with the console on, the noise was like 70% lower. Thank you so much man. Sorry bout my poor english heh.
Thank you! My Drive is quiet again.🙏
Mine was quiet for 2 years almost and suddenly today started being louder
Mine went from sounding like a jet turbine shredding the disk to complete silence. I should have done this when I first noticed it a year ago.
