I know the damn thing isn't defective.
Pretty damn sure it is defective.
I can only hear mine when it's check the game disc is in the drive. And that's from 3 feet away using my TV's speakers.
Get it replaced.

lol!OP do you startle yourself when you fart?
I can't hear my PS4 at all. I got a white one and had a launch one and could never hear it in my man cave (which is a 9ft by 12ft bedroom).
Nah, I genuinely believe people here and do really think it's probably defective.
What's the turnaround for getting it replaced?
I want to say your over-sensitive to noise, but you say you have a kid.
How can you be bothered by the noises of consoles and fridges when you have an irratic noise machine with the ability to move?
Already commented about how damn loud the PS4 is....
It's seriously gotten to the point where I can't stand anymore. I know the damn thing isn't defective. I know it's just part of the design:
Seriously, I'm not an engineer, but I can't help think to myself, "Why the F would you put ,what looks like the equivalent of a video card fan, to cool your system!?"
Basically ANY moderately taxing game (guaranteed with a 1080p/60fps like Metro or Shadow Warrior) sends the fan into a high pitched whirl that I can sometimes even hear through my Sony Gold headphones..... and I sit 10ft away from the system!
I know it's ridiculous to obsess of these hardcore 1st world problems, but it's just.... fucking i can't help it
anyway, I await for whatever is coming my way from GAF :/
what changed your mind from trading it in towards a Xbox One?
nice my wife can be noisey at times too and I love her.Because I truly love my PS4
But if you could trade her for an Xbox One?nice my wife can be noisey at times too and I love her.
But if you could trade her for an Xbox One?
kinect included? in a heartbeat. what am I saying, its cheaper to keep her.But if you could trade her for an Xbox One?

Yeah she can.nice my wife can be noisey at times too and I love her.
is it usually always a refurb you will receive? I ask because a buddy of mines sent in a defective PS4 and got a brand new one mailed back to him inside the box and all.Hate to say it but I'm doubtful the refurb they send you will end up being quieter than your current system. But maybe I'm just being a pessimist. I've had issues with refurbs in the past. It'd be different if they actually repaired your system, but they usually don't.

Yeah she can.
I still hate the whole refurb system period for either company. If Im sending you in something to fix I want the same damned thing back.
I mean yes this is an extreme example but if I take my car into the auto shop I expect the same damned hunk of metal & wheels back.
Its why I seriously pray everything stays healthy. Ive had to send in my 360 before but thankfully I got the same unit back due to recognizing the markings I put on it before it went away.
Make a recording and post it if possible. I cannot imagine it being that loud.
its quicker and cheaper for companies to scrap sent in consoles for parts and mail back a frankensteined unit. turn around time would be a lot longer if they tried to diagnose, tear down and then rebuild each persons system.
Totally understand that from the business perspective, but as a consumer doesnt mean I sit well with it.
Is this a thread about defective wives?
im not a fan of it either, especially after going through 3 refurb wii's one of which was covered in cheeto fingerprints but consumer satisfaction is way low on the list of priorities. its all about maximising profit.
How the thread will turn out. With his luck, the OP will probably get one of those Xboxes that whines.
How loud are we talking here? Mine isn't jet loud like my launch 360 but you can definitely here the fan spinning
