So I've not heard this on a ps5, or in this case a pro, before which is why I'm a bit concerned. Is the weird ping sound, it’s quite quiet in the video, more noticeable normally, after the initial beep at around 3 seconds, video below, normal or should I be worried? It's not present at all when the console is awake.
Not heard a sound like that before. Only appears to happen on start up from a full shutdown, can also hear it when waking from rest mode and just shutting it down. I thought it may be the fan starting up/stopping but not sure and if it is the fan, I've not heard a ps5 fan make that sound before so a tad concerning. It’s odd.
Anyone know if this is a cause for concern or come across this before? Thanks!
Does sound like it could be bearings doesn’t it, so the fan like you say, or the disc drive. Doubt it’s a problem really but might be fun to take the cover off to see if you can narrow it down.
@kyleforrester87 Yeah as long as it's not a problem, the sound doesn't bother me. Was just worried it might be indicative of a bigger problem. Might take the cover off and have a look. Thanks!
@TheKurgan Yeah same here. OG didn't do it which is why I'm confused. I'm not sure what it is tbh. It seems like it's the fan, as it only occurs when the fan seems to start up and stop. Doesn't appear to be anything to worry about, so far anyway.
