PS4 is very loud - it can be because of that

If the PS4 makes very loud noises, there can be several reasons. In this practical tip, we will tell you exactly what the noise is and what you can do about it.

Very loud noises from the PS4 - you can do that

A loud console is not only annoying, but can also indicate a defect. Below we give you tips on what you can do about it:

• First check whether all fans are exposed. In order for these to work properly, they must not be covered by objects. It is best to place the PS4 in an open area.
• At the same time, you can check whether dirt or dust has settled on the fans. If this is the case, only remove it if you have previously removed the power plug.
• We have summarized helpful tips on how to clean the fan in another practical tip for you.
• Note that high temperatures ensure more fan performance. This in turn can be the cause of a loud console. Power-hungry games and applications can push the PS4 to its limits.

PS4 stays very loud - it can be because of that

• If the problem only occurs with a specific game, you should take a closer look at the game DVD. Check whether it is clean or there are scratches on the surface.
• You can repair the latter with a cloth. Otherwise, keep in mind that different games also use different services. If more power is required, the console may get louder.
• If you want to reduce the noise, you can use a piece of cardboard. Place them under the console. However, this does not correct a defect.
• If you still have a warranty on the console, you should contact Sony Customer Service. In many cases you will receive a new console free of charge.
