Update on the noisy PS4:
Playing a session on Killzone today, on single player for just over an hour with the usual audible fan whirring away. All of a sudden I hear some sort of spin-down noise, and voila, console is quiet. Not heard a peep out of the fan since.
Now it's still running thankfully, as warm air is blowing out of the back, but the noise has diminished. Very weird! Wonder if it was the thermal paste on the processor bedding in or something, anyhowz happy days!!

@zombee we have been using the console today for about 7 hours straight and at least to me it's very quiet. If I get close to it I can listen the fan and the hard drive but not load at all. The bluray drive only spins the 1st time you load the game to check the disc then remains silent.
I'm coming from an Xbox 360 and every time I played that it sounded like a turbine, the PS4 is silent compared to that.

you've got to check out Planetside 2 when it comes out next year on PS4. It'll be free to download and play,
Its a massive online multiplayer FPS. Takes FPS to another level. I've been playing on PC for the past year and its already gone through most of its design growing pains and performance upgrades etc. I think it'll be amazing on PS4 considering there is so much inconsistency in PC hardware.
- nice, I'm really looking forward to Destiny as well.ernexbcn

Finally discovered why my PS4 sounds like a jet-engine. Turns out its the vertical stand causing the problem. Having it attached to the console seems to be covering one of the side vents, not allowing the console to suck in enough air.
Removed the stand, placed it horizontally and bazinga! The noise level has reduced... a lot!
Moral of the story, don't bother with shitty accessories that you don't really need.
If anyone's up for kicking my ass on Killzone or NBA 214K, my PSN is zombirye
- i have mine in a vertical stand and its fine! no noise, not even any heat really...cruddlebub
- webber01 add me too!cruddlebub
- From what I've been reading, seems like some consoles are louder than others. Look of the draw I guess. But at least this fix seems to work.zombee
- yeah I read other people talking about the console making more noise being verticalernexbcn

I haven't noticed the fan on mine either and it doesn't feel hot to the touch or anything like that.
By the way, over 2.1 million consoles sold already...
- insane isnt it!cruddlebub
- MS and Sony sold the 1st day same amount of XBO+PS4 than Nintendo sold Wii Us in 9 monthsernexbcn

@zombee all quiet here too, ive not even noticed it get warm... i have it stood on its side in a stand at the moment... my 16 year old step lads is being odd... like voice commands dont work even if they are turned on in the settings, he has the camera in... i put it down to him not waiting to set it up properly. the voice commands can be started by pressing L2 on the main menu but that isnt working either.
- Thanks for the response. Gonna pack mine in ice to see if that helps.zombee
- haha, a two PS4 family?
God, how times have changed.. :)detritus - yeah, he works and saves and buys his own! there was no way we were buying him one! he has his own vita, a non-used 80gig ps3 too...cruddlebub

I thought it was the game install process, but 3 days later, the fans still ramp up on Killzone after I've been playing for about half an hour. Console also feels warm to the touch and theres plenty of warm air blasting out of the back.It doesn't sound like the blu ray drive, which makes me think it's the fan by the whooshing noise, but hey ho will keep my eye on it and still got warranty if it develops any problems.
I have to say though, it's an awesome console. PS+ is worth its weight in gold, especially with free Resogun. Happy times!

@zombee it might be the bluray drive? all PS4 games install while you play in the background, I haven't put my head near the thing to know if it's loud or not.
But other than the fan, after a few minutes of first playing a game the whole game should be completely on the hard drive and you shouldn't hear the bluray drive anymore.

Is it just my unit, but has anyone else noticed how the PS4 sounds like a hairdryer when playing Killzone Shadow Fall (disc-based).
Read a few reports on forums about how the fan can get pretty noisy. At least it's reassuring the console is cooling whilst cranking out the visuals, but just wondered if others ps4 owners consoles are quiet or not.
- been quiet here. am sure it will be anotehr story once summer heats up.inteliboy

i must advise the free download (if you had ps+ before the ps4 purchase) of resogun! what a game... retro to the MAX!

Killzone has some crazy graphics, just think this is a launch title.
I haven't played Battlefield 4 yet. I've been busy with Killzone, Resogun, Sound Shapes and...
Need for Speed Rivals which I bought yesterday, holy shit this game is pure arcade fun. Give it a shot or watch a stream of someone playing.
I don't even have time to play all these games hah. Loving the console.

The controller is amazing. Console is a beaut. The perfect gaming console in terms of design and philosophy. Killzone has very impressive moments and finding it really fun to play -- nice old school fps feel.
Graphics = Does all look like retina versions of current gen ps3 games. I think we're still a good 12months away from seeing proper next-gen console graphics. Currently it's just amped up versions of game engines we've all been playing for a good 5+ years.

fifa looks incredible... i recommend getting the PS app too... you can control the ps4 with your iphone.
