PS4 beeps 3 times when switched off - that's why
If your PS4 beeps 3 times when it is switched off, it is usually not an error, but an advisory tone. In this article we explain what the three beeps mean.
PS4 beeps 3 times: something is still running in the background
- There are three ways to turn off the PS4.
- However, when you switch off your console using the power button, your device only beeps twice.
- If the PS4 beeps three times in quick succession, then you have probably not closed all applications. Usually something is still running in the background. The connection to the PSN is often to blame.
- To close an application, hold down the PS button while the application is running. Then select "Close application".
- The beeping can also occur if you have started a download. However, while the download is in progress, you can turn off the PS4 as usual. The three beeps are then to be understood as a kind of advisory tone and not as an error message.
