What does replacing the HDD have to do with the noise level?
Serious downgrade from PS3.
Pathetic.
room doesn't have to be quiet to hear. but everyone's ears are different anyways.
All games get installed, so it doesn't matter on PS4. But man is the Slim drive loud... Playing Beyond on it can be quite annoying at times. Fat drive was so nice and silent in comparison, but the fan noise was far worse.My PS3 slim's (bought in march 2011) disc drive makes A LOT of noise!! I hope PS4's drive is quiet
They probably don't have games to test, but I hope they'll test it with a movie playback at least (if even that works with debug unit?). Also the measurement they provide is more useful than decibels IMO, as db doesn't scale in a humanely sensible sort of way.So this thing is actually tested, but nobody knows how many db it gives? Neither how many db when playing a game? I'm confused.

Less stepping? CAV means the angular velocity is constant, like a record player. There would be no "gears" "switching" if the optical drive is CAV.
Yeah I guess they need a game..
But when it comes to the dB measurements, I know and relate to dB because it's a well known way of measuring sound levels, my brain has a sense of what's going on the scale. But I have no idea how to relate to "sone", so to me it doesn't matter how linear it is or not compared to dB.
The full install of games will help a lot won't it?My PS3 slim's (bought in march 2011) disc drive makes A LOT of noise!! I hope PS4's drive is quiet
Yeah, so a CLV drive smoothly increases the speed the disc is spinning as it's being read from the outside to inside, while a CAV drive will have locked speeds that it jumps between.
It will if it has multiple speeds to allow for faster data reading on the outside of the disk.Why would a CAV drive be switching speeds at all?

There are also techs like Z-CLV and P-CAV

Does that page say the console takes 21 seconds to boot?
Maybe read the thread beyond the title? All this discussion is already there.What does replacing the HDD have to do with the noise level?
this means nothing. they tested wile using the console menus, not gameplay, ps4 can adapt its power consumption and fann levels, unlike ps3, expect it to be louder in actual use.
The first slim is the CECH-2000 and the second is the CECH-2500. The difference is that the 2500 revision has the 40nm RSX instead of the 55nm one in the 2000. The change came about 4 months into production iirc.I didn't know that, how loud would it be then? Is there any way to tell?

How does this compare with the slim?
And so many tried to use the PS4's size advantage as tantamount evidence of it being loud. Lol. Just good old fashioned quality engineering.

HDD are VERY LOUD
Yes, it's Slim. Or Super Slime, whatever. On the noise level Slim and Super Slim are basically the same. Noise level of PS3 Slim are about 50 db, and it is 2 sone. So, compare it to PS4.
PS4's 0.81 sone is about 35 db.
Nope you can't directly convert it like that. Take a look at http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculatorSonephon.htm
An extremely rough estimate would put it at between 27-28 dBA
