... but thankfully not by much.
The PS5 has two different types of internal fans and one set is louder than the other, a report by Les Numeriques suggests.
The French outlet has taken five different PS5 apart and found that 2 of their test group had a different internal fan than the other 3. In the image above, fan type A was the more quiet of the pair (“moins” means “less” en Francais). The A-type fan runs at a volume of 39 decibels while the B-type fan runs at 43 decibels. While one’s obviously louder than the other, it’s thankfully not by much.
The outlet also says that the two fan types they analysed appear to be different in style and appearance than the fan that was shown off in Sony’s official PS5 teardown.
Because of the difference in volume, this is more an interesting tidbit than a damaging report. What do you think?
The PS5 is available now.
