PlayStation 4 drive too loud - you can do that

If your PlayStation 4 drive is too loud, check the following:

• First of all, you should make sure that all the fans on the console are exposed and not blocked by objects.
• If the problem only occurs with certain games, you should carefully clean the affected game DVD.
• Keep in mind that different games take different performances. Therefore, there may be differences in the volume of the PlayStation.
• Contamination may have settled in the drive. To be able to check this, you have to screw on the console completely.
• If dirt has settled on the drive, you should carefully remove it. Depending on the contamination, use a damp cloth for cleaning.
• Maybe the drive is blocked by small parts or the like, which creates the loud noises.
• However, please note that the console is guaranteed for 2 years. This expires as soon as you unscrew the console. So if you can't find any obvious reason for the volume, you should make use of the warranty.
• You can also try to muffle the volume of these sounds by placing a piece of cardboard under the console. However, this does not correct a possible defect.
