Hearing what it's supposed to sound like has put my mind at ease with my normal PS5, I was so anxious whenever it would get loud like that but if that's what it's supposed to sound like I feel alot better
Yeah, mine sounds like that when inserting a DVD into the drive but only for about 5-10 seconds. Afterwards, it's quiet. My PS4's DVD drive did the same thing as well.
i noticed that when i have a disc inserted the ps5 its makes noise when i turn it on or when i load a different game but when there is no disc inside it is completely silent like its makes no noise at all idk if that’s good or not
I have a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and now I just got a PS five. All of them function and work properly. It’s still nice to know some of these little things when getting new gear.
PlayStation groupie!!!!😅😅😅 good for you you have great brand loyalty. If something works great and continues to satisfy then it's a good product. I'm looking to get a used ps 3 and 4 soon.
This was good to know, & on a side note, the PS5 Slim looks better than initially thought, design wise. I have the OG PS5, it’ll be 2 years old this June, it’s still going strong.
My OG PS5 is over 3 years old at this point and works like a charm. I do remove the side plates and clean the console once a year, and so far the fan noise is barely noticeable even under load.
My sega mega drive 16bit is still going strong. Don’t know what’s up with modern technology? Two years and it’s still alive? Was going to get one but if that’s the case I’ll stick with this! And ps4 obviously!
@iambicpotato2198 i have a lunch ps3 and a launch switch and both work like they are brand new, I always clean them once a month or every other month, it's fun and it keeps them going
@@afrolintin Keeping them clean is the key. Unless computers/consoles have some sort of manufacturing defect, I believe just keeping them clean and well ventilated goes a long way in improving their longevity.
When I bought a PS5 (the OG one) I heard similar sound but less loud and it turned out to be because of the plastic stand that was vibrating on my wooden table. I put a mouse pad under it and it stopped.
It wasn't just that either. My PS5's disc drive would sound relatively normal but after an hour of use with a disc inside, it would spin up really fast and make a really loud noise and close whatever I was doing. Even if I had a disc inside but was playing a digital game it would still close it. I tried everything usually recommended like manually ejecting the disc, looking for the heatsink defect, etc. but it was never fixed until I actually opened the disc drive itself and fixed the blue rubber piece inside. It was *barely* not sitting flush and I am honestly surprised something that was barely noticeable caused such an issue. Has been working with zero issues ever since.
Ain’t no way the slim in normal working condition sounds that loud actually sounds like my ps4 pro that’s been cleaned anyways my Spider-Man ps5 doesn’t sound nowhere near like that and actually very quiet besides install/ reading discs
Y'all ever played on xbox 360s? Or even the original ps3s. Those things were LOUD. My ps5 does make a lot of noise, but I thought nothing of it since I grew up with consoles that were loud. It still plays games fine so I'm not worried
I mostly played on Xbox, and actually only recently decided to “upgrade” to a ps5 from Xbox series s (baby still goes strong but she’s getting old). The ps5 noise is so much louder than same gen Xbox. Not saying one is better than the other but just.. for current gen, ps need to be thinking about why their console is so loud brand new out of the box lol
...lets hope they resolve these design flaws in the PS5 Pro- ....anyone can see Sony put together an awkward chassis design with flimsy fitting components -
My PS5 doesn't make any noise like the PS5 slim when I insert disks to play, I have no interest in the Slim version of it, but I do look forward to the Pro whenever it comes out.
@@jhonsmith2150 Nope not at the price they are selling it for, far to much money, Sony themselves have become the New scalpers. I rather keep the original PS5 I have.
Sony always has issues with its PlayStation disc drives, my PS3 fat disc drive died and I couldn’t get my disc out and my PS4 and PS4 Pro sometimes can’t read the disc drive. I honestly reckon for next gen Sony and Microsoft should adopt cartridges or find away to make the disc drives a lot quieter.
After repairing many of the PS5 slims, I've noticed some disc drives have lost a tiny spring inside. The system still works but that tiny spring is part of a mechanism that holds a magnet to the disc
@MissxLariz on the regular PS5 anything can be inside and can damage a disc. It's always a possibility. On the regular there is a lot more that goes in to removing the disc drive to check it. You have to remove the fan, remove the top plastic cover and then open up the disc drive
@Chaoslevi no you should be fine. If you have a small enough screw driver you can take apart that disc drive. When if you put it in upside down it won't damage the drive. More than likely something might have slipped or there is something else inside
I got a PlayStation 5 Slim (with the Disc Drive) a month ago. It was a better deal. Most of my PS4 games are downloaded and the ones on disc, I had no reason to install them on the PS5 since they're already installed on the PS4. Didn't even know this was an issue since my PS5 games are downloaded.
The slim is so quiet bro. He has a high end mic close to the console you arent hearing sounds like this in real life out of your ears. Especially if u play digital games u aren’t hearing console noise
I also have a ps5 slim and it sounds exactly as you said that a normal ps5 slim should sound, but for me it only sounds like that when I turn it on if I leave a disc in it or it only sounds when the game makes a update
I had to return mine too. As the disk drive would not read any disks at all, Was very frustrating. Wasn't even a year old, Barely even six months old at that.
Fr we have to fight against that an only keep on buying physical games like I do. Reject digital gaming cause that’s gone b the downfall, they will make us play on subscriptions
I hear ya, I have a heavily modded PS2 fat, and it is as rock solid as the day it was made. And that's with freebootmc and an SSD HD. And a Linux partition that lets me play classic games with RetroArch. The PS2/3/Vita are some of the very best consoles to play around with. The PS4 is promising and the ultimate would be the PS5 with mods for allowing PC games.
I would like to know how common / uncommon this issue is. Is there a way to find out the commonality of this problem? The reason i ask is i just bought a slim one month ago.
This sound happens on the original PS5 I have. Although it happens with some games such as my copy of Resident evil 4 for the PS4. Some PS4 games don't cause the buzz noises, but it's weird that it happens to some games specifically
It sounds like the disk might be warped if it happens only with that specific one. It happened all the times to me when PCs used to have physical releases on CD-rom. On PS5 might be exacerbated because the drive spins faster. Cheers.
I have a question, Is it okay to keep the ps5 plugged into AC power socket all the time? I always fully shut it down after I'm finished playing, but i don't unplug it. Is it okay?
@nitrovill I got mine 3 months ago slim and I already sent it to Sony to fix it the noise is insanely weird and the system has false stuff the slim has 1tb while the normal has 825 GB that means the slim has more storage its also smaller in size smaller in weight but if storage matters get a slim if u don't care about 175 GB extra storage don't get the slim the slim can also be put in the same position as a ps4 as u can see in the video also ps5 and the slim version read PS4 discs but it sounds loud for ps4 discs
I fixed this issue by using those round pads that you put under chairs to make them slide better, inside the disk drive cover. They are about 3mm thick and I installed them directly where the disk drive comes.
I hate that the title is so click baity but nice step by step video. Honnestly many will just jump the gun and return perfetly fine PS5's in store who will have to deal with returning it when they make absolutely no money on consoles whatsoever,
Mine just got delivered. right now i'm installing games on it. Sometimes it makes a buzzing noise but that is probably normal because it's doing a lot.
The most infuriating thing with the slim is the same with the og PS5.....it's a complete lottery if you get a quiet or loud one. As they've always done they use 4 different manufacturers to produce the fans... resulting in significant differences from one console to the next. I don't know why it's so hard to adopt a more unified approach.
All slims are cheaply built and stuff removed to make them smaller just look at the ps2 slim and phat model, I’ve had too many issues with that slim and ps3 slim/super slim so I just got the phat models of both and definitely feel more premium, even now take a look inside the OG day 1 2020 ps5 compared to the current slim all that was removed and downgraded with cheaper versions like the heat sink for example
*Hello there John, I'm from UK London area, I recently brought a ps5 slim with disc drive some weeks or months back, I had the same problem as you with a buzzing sound, I was testing out ps4 and ps5 games and heard a buzzing sound.*
I got scared too, it happened when I put on a new disc(Saint's Row) It was loud vibrating noises, but it soon went away after a few re-inserting the disc.
its coil whine (atleast thats what i think you showing in the video) and i have it since a few years now. it hasn't caused any issues besides the sound (and at this point i'm far away from the ps5 where i don't hear it anyway), so at this point its fine. you also notice how the coil whine changes depending on the game you play and how much fps/graphic intensive it is
Mine was making an annoying humming sound, I was going to take it into Best Buy and just return it for another one but decided to research it a little. I have an OLED TV and set my video to HDR, with the PS5 I have to do this or my fan was spinning at a rediculous RPM causing a humming because after I stopped playing games and just watched TV or even turned it off and let it cool down, it stopped. After changing these setting it can run forever and not make any noise, no video glitches, frame drops nothing. Video Settings. 1) VRR - Auto, Unsupported Games 2) 120 Hz - Auto 3) ALMM - Auto 4) Video Trans Rate - Auto 5) HDR - Always On (If your TV has it) 6) Deep Color - Auto 7) RGB - Auto
John Glasscock So I’m a tinker and I found the reason why. Sony has three rubber grommets so that doesn’t rub against the metal. Take apart the disc drive and remove the rubber grommets. On the rubber grommets they have grooves to seat on the back plate. Put everything back together. Make sure that rubber grommets are aligned with screw holes. Mind you that have to be over the plate in order it to not vibrate. Though this is a terrible design but I get it why they went this way cheap parts for a tiny machine. Mind you be careful of those tension springs that holds armatures up on the disk drive to set the magnet down. I almost lost mine and it sucks to put back together.
I always let the games install themselves completely before playing them, so when i insert the disc, it eventually stop spinning and it loads from the console storage itself. Noise-wise it's not so bad so far. I just got it during xmas times, and i have mostly PS4 games and some PS4 games upgraded to PS5, and 1 native PS5 game.
When my ps5 turns on I don’t hear a thing like I only hear a tiny fan, then I played 3 hours of games and I checked how it sounded and still it sounded like a tiny fan.
you are really lucky bro, I have noticed I guess coil whine couple of months ago... also probably have some bads with the performance, and that is really sad because I purchased it like almost 2 years ago, and it was expensive at the time
After 2 years my ps5 is lagging sometimes no matter if online or offline games I don’t really know which reason or what is broken but I think the hard disk is broken
Yes it's normal. Your disc driver speeds up to read the content fast so you don't wait to long to play. Once the verification is done and the PS5 read datas and license and doesn't find any error it slows down and install so you can play
(1:28) DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS!! Different game discs have different levels of noise when putting them into your PS5, this is a result of the disc drive potentially needing to spin faster if the game is quite big. Just because a loud buzzing sound comes from *some* of the discs doesn’t mean that the source of the buzzing isn’t coming from the disc drive.
Removing any panels will disrupt the air flow designed to keep the system cool at all times, not to mention making it a bigger dust magnet that can overtime damage your system internally
The disc sound really depends on the disc itself and how it is insert. Sounds werid, but that´s the case. I have it also on my newest version of the fat PS5. Some discs are silent, while other can be extremely loud. It is random.
My Slim buzzes like the ones in the subreddit but only with certain discs. I tried realigning the covers with no luck. I then realized it’s likely due to me using borrowed PS4/5 games from the library with those StingRay RFID films on them, and it’s possible that some films were applied just ever so slightly off, causing vibration when spinning. I only have one owned game and it sounds normal like the end of the video.
It's still wild that the PS5 slim is that loud. The Xbox Series X disc drive is effectively silent next to my PS5. It's so annoying that I just stopped buying physical games for PlayStation all together.
Mine doesn't make that noise, but it seems to randomly spin the disc at certain points when I'm playing a game. I think it's normal, it's just a bit annoying.
Mine doesn’t make any of those sounds but there is a slight buzzing that disappears when I switch to Home Screen, it’s also louder on a bright white screen than in a dark screen.
So many possible problems and therefore so many possible solutions. I’d consider replacing the fan with a different brand/model or maybe even a different type like liquid cooling. Not saying any of those would be the answer but it would be on my list of considerations.
Hearing what it's supposed to sound like has put my mind at ease with my normal PS5, I was so anxious whenever it would get loud like that but if that's what it's supposed to sound like I feel alot better
Yeah, mine sounds like that when inserting a DVD into the drive but only for about 5-10 seconds. Afterwards, it's quiet. My PS4's DVD drive did the same thing as well.

Mine is super quiet, I don't even hear it. Seems everyone has a different sounding PS5 lol.

The one that coveres the assembly
I kept hitting the shit out of the side pannels thinking it was mu fan or somthing but it turns out it were the pannels
For me is the table that expands the sound 1000x

All slims are cheaply built and stuff removed to make them smaller just look at the ps2 slim and phat model, I’ve had too many issues with that slim and ps3 slim/super slim so I just got the phat models of both and definitely feel more premium, even now take a look inside the OG day 1 2020 ps5 compared to the current slim all that was removed and downgraded with cheaper versions like the heat sink for example
Place 2 rubber stabdoffs on the disk side so it obsorbs allot of the vivrations. Works well.
Thanks for the info! ❤😁
*Hello there John, I'm from UK London area, I recently brought a ps5 slim with disc drive some weeks or months back, I had the same problem as you with a buzzing sound, I was testing out ps4 and ps5 games and heard a buzzing sound.*
I got scared too, it happened when I put on a new disc(Saint's Row) It was loud vibrating noises, but it soon went away after a few re-inserting the disc.
That's the PlayStation 5 telling you that's a shit game
It’s a loose cover in my case. Reattaching stopped it momentarily. And pressing the cover firmly stopped it.
its coil whine (atleast thats what i think you showing in the video) and i have it since a few years now. it hasn't caused any issues besides the sound (and at this point i'm far away from the ps5 where i don't hear it anyway), so at this point its fine. you also notice how the coil whine changes depending on the game you play and how much fps/graphic intensive it is
its not the coil whine
The noise being presented in this video is not "coil whine".
Guys I am in India should I buy ps5 slim disc or ps5 disc
I hope im good enought on school to get one in august! Wish me luck!
you got one?
Did you get it
@@smartySingh-dd8yjsorry no
Mine was making an annoying humming sound, I was going to take it into Best Buy and just return it for another one but decided to research it a little. I have an OLED TV and set my video to HDR, with the PS5 I have to do this or my fan was spinning at a rediculous RPM causing a humming because after I stopped playing games and just watched TV or even turned it off and let it cool down, it stopped. After changing these setting it can run forever and not make any noise, no video glitches, frame drops nothing. Video Settings.
1) VRR - Auto, Unsupported Games
2) 120 Hz - Auto
3) ALMM - Auto
4) Video Trans Rate - Auto
5) HDR - Always On (If your TV has it)
6) Deep Color - Auto
7) RGB - Auto
That’s just sad to see people spend their hard earned money on a console and Sony just don’t give a damn about it.
John Glasscock So I’m a tinker and I found the reason why. Sony has three rubber grommets so that doesn’t rub against the metal. Take apart the disc drive and remove the rubber grommets. On the rubber grommets they have grooves to seat on the back plate. Put everything back together. Make sure that rubber grommets are aligned with screw holes. Mind you that have to be over the plate in order it to not vibrate. Though this is a terrible design but I get it why they went this way cheap parts for a tiny machine. Mind you be careful of those tension springs that holds armatures up on the disk drive to set the magnet down. I almost lost mine and it sucks to put back together.
I always let the games install themselves completely before playing them, so when i insert the disc, it eventually stop spinning and it loads from the console storage itself. Noise-wise it's not so bad so far. I just got it during xmas times, and i have mostly PS4 games and some PS4 games upgraded to PS5, and 1 native PS5 game.
I’ll stick with the base version ,so far so quiet and easy to clean ☺️
my base version also has a loud buzzing sound when reading PS4 discs, had it for about a year, but aside from that it s silent as a grave
@@endriuzincenko64Mine does too and it stops after a while. I think every PS5 (without being tempered with) does that so far ive heard.
When my ps5 turns on I don’t hear a thing like I only hear a tiny fan, then I played 3 hours of games and I checked how it sounded and still it sounded like a tiny fan.
The disc drive is only loud for a second, and the weird noise coming from my slim was jusr a weird plate. Still a very good console i love it
Hello the sounds from all but 1 are the disk drive ..the one was the fan.
Glad I stuck with the OG version, never had a issue in 3 yrs
Same got the OG model and have not had a single problem.
@Gaming-Enthusiast - Congratulations you are really fortunate. Hope it last for an even longer time to come.
My controller drifted after 4 months .
you are really lucky bro, I have noticed I guess coil whine couple of months ago... also probably have some bads with the performance, and that is really sad because I purchased it like almost 2 years ago, and it was expensive at the time
After 2 years my ps5 is lagging sometimes no matter if online or offline games I don’t really know which reason or what is broken but I think the hard disk is broken
Mine makes a fair sound for a little bit after you turn it on, is that normal? It’s ok, after watching a bit longer, it’s the normal sound
2:00 ‘’ Welcome to sony airlines’’
When I insert the disc into my PlayStation and it reads it, the volume increases like this and then decreases after 10 seconds. Is this normal? 1:40
Yes it's normal. Your disc driver speeds up to read the content fast so you don't wait to long to play. Once the verification is done and the PS5 read datas and license and doesn't find any error it slows down and install so you can play
The ps5 pro will have this problem. LMAO. 699.99 with tax plus buying a disc drive 79.99
This was helpful. I’m remaining with the OG PS5
I heard everything I needed to hear in the first 30 seconds. Not getting a PS5 slim for any reason
So this affects only those with the disc drive and not digital I suppose.
Why does the ps5 disk drive sound like sonic spinning up 🤣
Mine does the normal disc drive sound but cooling system's sound is more quite than the ps5 in the video
OG consoles of any gen are always better
That’s not really always the case. The OG PS3 was pretty bad. I had two dying on me.
Cheers.
nah, had to change 2 ps4,2 og xbox and 1 360, these type of problems are unusual but not inexistent.
@@GalaxyReacher that’s a fair assessment actually.
Cheers.
OG Ps5 series 12 is the Best👍👍
@@DavideDavini the fat ps3s?
I have a question: If I get the digital version, will it make this sound again?
(1:28) DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS!! Different game discs have different levels of noise when putting them into your PS5, this is a result of the disc drive potentially needing to spin faster if the game is quite big. Just because a loud buzzing sound comes from *some* of the discs doesn’t mean that the source of the buzzing isn’t coming from the disc drive.
Can I remove my triangle and square panels for better cooling?
Removing any panels will disrupt the air flow designed to keep the system cool at all times, not to mention making it a bigger dust magnet that can overtime damage your system internally
OG consoles are almost always better
PS3 fat sucked, dead in no time
No, the OG has more HDMI port detachment issues 😂
@@saltevelinecan you point me to actual statistics data? I’m curious.
Cheers.
I had to replace my HDMI, but that's the only issue I've ever had with my OG. Still run buttery smooth and super quiet. @DavideDavini
@@ShapeshifteR-TheAnomalyGameCat I still have my fat ps3 with reverse compatibility and it still works
The disc sound really depends on the disc itself and how it is insert. Sounds werid, but that´s the case. I have it also on my newest version of the fat PS5. Some discs are silent, while other can be extremely loud. It is random.
Need to return my og ps5. It only turns on after like 6-10 attempts. It's the opposite of a teenager.
?????
My Slim buzzes like the ones in the subreddit but only with certain discs. I tried realigning the covers with no luck. I then realized it’s likely due to me using borrowed PS4/5 games from the library with those StingRay RFID films on them, and it’s possible that some films were applied just ever so slightly off, causing vibration when spinning. I only have one owned game and it sounds normal like the end of the video.
It's still wild that the PS5 slim is that loud. The Xbox Series X disc drive is effectively silent next to my PS5. It's so annoying that I just stopped buying physical games for PlayStation all together.
Which is better ps5 or ps5 slim
I want to buy ps5 for like 2 years but never have a chance
Wait for ps5 pro!
I seen used ones now cheap
@@richardpauly1635 dont want the used ones
@adamorowski5879 there new ones too depend where you live gamestop
@@richardpauly1635 bro i live in Poland i know but currently i use Xbox series s
Mine doesn't make that noise, but it seems to randomly spin the disc at certain points when I'm playing a game. I think it's normal, it's just a bit annoying.
Sounds like a bike game on master system i used to play.
Mine doesn’t make any of those sounds but there is a slight buzzing that disappears when I switch to Home Screen, it’s also louder on a bright white screen than in a dark screen.
Sounds like an aircraft Set power. LOL.
Sound pitch seems consistent with the disc drive.
Is it only loud when playing a game with a disk?
Horrible! Glad I own the launch version. Zero issues! Over 4.5 years straight!
Bro’s owned his PS5 before it even came out lmao it’s not even been out for 4 years
@@S-1_24-25 3.5 years! lmao
So many possible problems and therefore so many possible solutions. I’d consider replacing the fan with a different brand/model or maybe even a different type like liquid cooling. Not saying any of those would be the answer but it would be on my list of considerations.
Welcome to Sony Airlines
My OG made the same noise (horizontal). I popped and put back the panels, and the stand. It was not well attached
0:05 thumbnail
Why would i need that
Bro knows something we don't @@Stridsvagn-ph7sf
I’ll keep this in mind.. mine has overheated a few times from long weekends of playing but hasn’t been that intense. Just typical fan noises
