Jesus fucking Christ this is getting annoying now, I've been adoring my time with the PS5, the games are great, the UI is snappy and beautiful, the controller is a delight and the system itself is gorgeous.
However there's one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb whenever I go from my Series X to the PS5, the sound. The Series X is a marvel in how quiet it is for the power it holds, you can tell the engineering team did a top job, taking care with every minute component.
The PS5 on the other hand is starting to feel like a cheap hunk of junk in that department. It really feels like Sony cheaped out with their PSUs as not only my PS5 but my entire friend groups are making the most annoying coil whine which seem to have gotten worse since Nov.19
Here's a little diary of my coil whine experience:
Nov 19: quiet as hell, no fan or coil whine sound at all, Astro and Miles Morales running with no issues.
Nov 22: start to notice some very quiet humming from around the PSU of the console, only flairs up when on Miles Morales, everything else is fine and the sound was only audible as I was sorting out my cable management whilst game was on.
Nov 25: coil whine evolves into a more audible sound, has a pretty noticeable whine when TV is quiet now when on Miles Morales, no other games creating a hum.
Nov 27: coil whine evolves again, this time easing itself into not only Miles Morales but Spider-Man Remastered, Astro, AC Valhalla and even when I power it on, still not a major annoyance but it now varies in sound from app to app.
Nov 29: coil whine fucking evolves tenfold as it now starts to get slightly louder and the fan starts to kick in whenever I start a game, pretty audible noises from the fan doing its work on games which never made it work this hard before, coil whine frequency changes wildly from game to game.

Dec 1: Coil whine reaches a new phase of fuckery, I didn't record my own as my phone doesn't pick it up well but this YouTube video sounds exactly like mine, the coil whine and fan have gotten slightly louder, I must stress with my TV on around 20 volume or with headphones in you can't hear it, it's only when the game hits a quiet spot on TV or the volume is low, but now the coil whine is rapidly changing frequency out of nowhere whilst playing Valhalla, it only stopped doing this once I closed the app entirely but even then it slowly whirred down to a quiet hum. Video below is just like mine.

Dec 7: I'm trying to sleep, but the ps5 won't let me. I've locked myself in the basement for the night.
Colton Rogers
I don’t and haven’t heard coil whine from mine
Mason Hughes
Dec 24: It’s almost Christmas but I don’t feel jolly at all. I must have been on Santa’s naughty list, cuz I feel like I got a lump of coal instead of Sony’s next gen console.

neogaf still exists?

neogaf has slowly been recovering after the SJW clique pissed off.
they act tougher now but I will never forget what they allowed to happen to their board.
Connor Martinez
it absorbs the vibrations of the coils. The vibrations are what produce the whine.
Easton Rivera
its already fixed in some bathes, thanks for beta testing
Parker Reed
It dampen the vibrations that cause the sound.
It's something you can buy and apply yourself btw

The fact that it doesn't come by default on PS5 show that Sony cheapened out.

ps5 is for city chads who sleep with a loud fan on. rural and suburban chuds wouldn't understand.

Coil whine is literally the most common defect in every electronic device that processes a power source. It's literally just wires vibrating.
Mason Brown
My switch doesn't have coil whine, hell, my n64 is quiet.

Reminder that the PS5 will be only getting noisier even if you take care of it since Sony will force the fan to run faster with game specific fan curves so it doesn't cook itself.

Neogaf is just Zig Forumseddit now

There was a thread yesterday that explained you enter a fan quality lottery when you buy a PS5 so you must have lucked out.

More like Zig Forums lite, they say the words tranny and faggot there
Mason Bell
I got coin whine on me unit but only if your right on top of it with the game volume muted. My only complaint is the loud ass disc drive but that's only an issue when installing games.

Get education you pathetic xfag shills, my ps5 is working good

Why bother?

Yeah, hence Zig Forumseddit, user. Why do you think I say that?

Would it be possible to return a console for a reroll?
Jaxson Brown
>it works on my machine
you may think that is a useful rebuttal, but it really isn't.
Ayden Perry
>loud ass disc drive
Jesus Christ, this. I don't get the coil whine complaints compared to the get engine you hear when the games are installing.
Jaxson Cruz
I hate coil whine with passion. I had a tv that when it was turned off, there was high pitch noise/coil whine, that drove me nuts. I won't be purchasing a PS5 if this is a problem.
Noah Scott
Am I supposed to hear anything in that video?

1. Why the fuck would you get a modern console on launch? They always have some QA issues
2. Why the fuck would you get a PS5 AND a Series X? To play no games at the same time?
People are fucking stupid

Dec 30: I can still hear the hum, even when I'm at party... in another state. Its in my head, and to be honest, I think it was always there. I trust what the humming says to me and its plans for the world are wonderful indeed.
