GTTV All Access thing from last night.
No it is not normal and hopefully it won't be a recurrent problem. Console has been out for ten hours and I'd hate to hear this puppy in seven years.

Is it louder than a Wii U with a disk in? Cause the Wii U is loud.

Yeah I noticed it. When you put in a game the disc spins kinda quickly while installing, then you don't hear it anymore. Just sounds like a computer or anything else .....
I wouldn't call it a vacuum like the OP however....
It better be steaming the carpet while the game is running

You know. I've never understood the complaints about the volume of someone's console. I've owned them all and never once has the loudness of them bothered me. When you have the game going I don't notice it at all. Hell same for a movie. I wonder if some people don't play with their face right next to the console the way some complain about how ungodly loud they are.

No, it doesn't. There are games that only install a few MB.

Oh...my...days.
That's exactly what my 360 sounded like after I did the X-clamp fix after 2 RRODs, ridiculously loud. I was cautious playing at night as I was afraid the people in the flat upstairs would be able to hear. It died again about 2 weeks later.
i'm gonna run a vacuum while you play video games and lemme know how it affects your immersion.

Oh man, Digital Distribution just went up a few notches if that is widespread and doesn't go away after the install is done.
The cool posture is louder.
Dude mine sounds nothing like that...That systems an exception, not the rule...

Holy shit. Is it a jet taking off? Is that the disc drive or the fan!?

I'm sure the disk is super loud during installation. Think about how loud the 360 is when it's spinning the disk at top speed. Isn't this the case with pretty much everything when it is installing?
So you're saying it's not the disc drive?

I can't hear my WiiU with a disc in...of course I sit, 10-15 feet away on the couch.

Glad that I decided to only buy digital downloads.
The fan. The PS4 seems to be faulty.
It's only a matter of time before your PS4 decides it wants to go to space...
muahhahahahah.

Yeah mines loud with Killzone. But I am hoping after awhile it just chills out. I am thinking its installing the game but not sure how much is installing.

Spinning a disc causes noise.

"maybe you should try 720p, it's just a thought process I'm having"
I think we all know that. It's the volume that's surprising.
Could it be his system isn't getting enough airflow?

fudGAF is the worst GAF. I get that people are super worried about their systems as early adopters but geez.
"I think that there might be a cat trapped inside my PS4 and it scares me."
"It takes 2 seconds to turn on the controller instead of 1 and I think it is because it is trying to steal my soul through the touchpad"
"The PS4 looks really awful when rested on a straw basket."
"After playing for extended periods of time, my PS4 smells like my Grandma's socks, is that covered by the warranty."
And lets make sure, every one of us, to create multiple threads to keep everyone updated:
"Turns out that it wasn't the PS4 that smelled like my Grandma's socks, I forgot that to stop the wobble, I used Grandma's pantyhose.
Everyone has a year warranty by default if there are any hw issues and all of the little quirks will be confirmed within a week. At this point, we can't confirm anything and these FUD threads are just worrisome to individuals that likely won't have a problem at all.
I think I am going to avoid GAF next week. I don't want to go through this with the Xbone too.

Thanks for the clarification. Finally someone who contributed to the topic unlike 95% of the rest of people in this thread.
Can you hear if the disc is still spinning? Not worried about the noise if you say it's quiet, but I'd be interesting to know.
Unbearable?
Faulty machine obviously as it is the exception and not the rule .......... don't blow your load prematurely buddy

What is nice is that the PS4 can install games when it's not running the game.

Woah. I'd return it if it was that loud.
Yes data installing to HDD from what I've read. Temporary though.
