Could just be full of dust, so ideally you would use a can of compressed air (or one of the many tools now available) to blow the dust out.

if it's no better once you've done this, then it could be that the thermal paste needs replacing - but unless you're confident at dismantling such devices, then it's probably better to leave well alone.

There are also apparently two (or more) different types of Fan fitted to the PS4/PS4 Pro - some makes being noisier than others - but again, swapping them out is a bit of an involved process.

Thx for advice m8 i will try can of compressed air first.

Bro in law used to moan probably 2 yrs ago now his PS4 Pro was the same, it turned into a jet engine whilst gaming, and was still quite loud just on the menu screen.

We tried compressed air but didn't seem to help him, it may help you however.

In the end, the best fix I read online was new thermal paste (Arctic MX-4 barely £5) + get a Nidec fan to replace the stock one (£20-25 on Ebay). Did this for him and now it's whisper quiet and worked like a dream since.

Ok thank you for that and how difficult is this process?

Could it be because of the very hot weather

If it hot in the room the PS4 pro in then the fan will need to spin faster to cool it

Its not weather its just loud.

My PS4 Pro sounded like a hair dryer in some games, one of the things I like about my PS5 is that I can’t hear it.

Maybe I will talk to my son to sell it PS4 and get Ps5.
