Perhaps covered previously....
I had a launch day PS5 and tbh did find the fan noise a little more than I'd expected.
For other reasons I moved that PS5 on (sold) but do intend to jump back in at some point and thus want to query this more generally.....
I was wondering if noticeable fan noise (at say 8 feet) is common for PS5s (in and out of games) and more importantly is disc noice an issue. I literally can't stomach using a disc in my PS4 given the noise it creates and went entirely digital on PS4. However given the higher cost of PS5 games I'd be tempted to get disc versions so I can sell on completed games, but only if the disc is silent (once an initial validation check is done I assume as the game fires up). If there is noise then I can drop discs altogether and offset the cost of the more expensive Digital games by getting the digital only PS5 - so there is a decision point based on noise
Thoughts?
PS. I am a Playstation advocate, so this question of noise is genuine concern (I am very sensitive to background noise) and I am absolutely not trying to fuel any fanboy flames.
