Hi there,

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!

I saw this mentioned on Reddit a while back and have just noticed that mine is the same. My OG does not do this.
