Can you turn off the PS5 wake up chime?

So you can sneak out of bed and secretly play games, eh?

Both my monitor and PS5 give a similar beep when turned on. I try to sync both up and time a good cough to hide them.

No. I have no idea why Sony thinks it's necessary, but we're stuck with it.

Just fart in sync with it, I'm sure she is conditioned to ignore that sound given how often she hears it.

Edit: I have no idea, I would also like to know. It is pretty annoying, I wish it was a nicer noise, something a bit more melodic.

I don't know about the wake-up chime but damn if the homescreen music isn't some of the most soothing I have witnessed on any console. It almost puts me to sleep sometimes when I am sitting on the homescreen waiting for something. If she wakes up, just leave it sitting there for a minute or two. I am sure she will be sound asleep in no time.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
You have two very impractical options to get rid of the noise:
1) If you connect remotely through the remote play app while your PlayStation 5 is in rest mode, it will turn on without beeping. This requires you to install the remote play app on your phone, connect it to your PlayStation - then disconnect from your local wifi, connect to your 4G or 5G cellular connection, then launch remote play and tell it to start your game. The system will turn on (without the beep) and from there you can kill the app and play with a regular controller on your TV.
2) Open your PS5 and desolder the buzzer from the motherboard. This speaker is a Murata Piezo buzzer, and it's pretty easy to desolder. Currently, the PS5 doesn't do any sort of software check to see if that component is actually present on the board, so once you do this you can turn your PS5 off and on anytime without making any noise. However - this is a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing, especially if you're not prepared to re-solder the buzzer back on in case Sony changes their mind about that software check in a future firmware upgrade.

I'm somewhat knowledgeable on this, since #2 above is exactly what I did. Though I was fixing another issue at the time and thought "Fuck it, this loud microwave buzzer is coming out!"

That's cool. Is it the exact same component as in the PS4? Sure sounds the same. Maybe even the PS3? Haven't heard one boot in a long time, so don't really remember.

sure if you know what you're doing then you could just desolder it but the average person isn't going to do it. Sony should just put a setting for it somewhere.

I love Sony's hardware beeps, been the same since PS3 I think? It's like an appliance... like a microwave or something.
edit: You don't have to desolder the piezo buzzer you can just drop glue on it or something to mute it. (100% success not guaranteed)

We finally put down our PS5 long enough for a proper teardown. You know we always stand ready to complain on your behalf when devices are tough to...

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
Xbox still has that loud ass boot screen still though
I never hear it, its on rest mode, and you can mute the tv
Number 1 isn't true. It would still beep.

That sound gives me PTSD. I had a window AC unit once that made that noise everytime you turned it on.

And no complaints about all the controller clickity clicks?
Well that's unhealthy if she's napping at night instead of sleeping, also if she's napping there instead of bed, that's fucking annoying and a bad habit, she'd be better served napping on her actual bed.
This is the bigger issue than the PS5 beep.

Nothing like watching a movie on Netflix where you turn up the volume for the explosions. Then the next day turning on the Series X and waking up the entire house with the boot up muisic. Sometimes I remember to turn the volume back down, sometimes.

I don't have a way to test this now, unfortunately. But it's entirely possible that it changed in a firmware update. As of about 3-4 months ago, that method still worked.

If you switch it on using the wake up feature on the playstation remote app on your phone it doesn't beep when it switches on, then you can just connect a controller and play normally

Why be afraid of your wife? Do what you want 
Im sure she'd rather you be playing games than blowing all the rent/mortgage money on casinos, or drugs.

Well shucks, they must have changed it then. It used to be that if you were on the same network as the PS5, it would beep. But if you were on a different network (cellular / 5G / etc) then it would boot up without beeping.
Better brush up on your soldering skills then!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
I use my PS4 to remote play my PS5 in the same house. Interesting a different network mutes it though.
