Anyone else's PS4 pro pretty loud??? I have added anti vibration feet and moved it in to a different postion which has improved it a little, but I can still hear the fan ramping up and down during more intensive games (Horizon) and it's infuriating! I get that they are running faster so the fans will be louder and that I can accept, but this noticeable fan speed change. I have quite bad hearing too so it must be pretty bad! 
Done a fair few googles about it and it is really common it seems, but a fair amount of people are also reporting they can hardly ever hear theirs (my work friends included)??

It's definitely louder than my base PS4 which is almost whisper quiet. The PS4 Pro goes mad at the map screen in Horizon Zero Dawn and I can also hear it during Mass Effect Andromeda.
I've just ordered a PS4 pro, coming Wednesday. Hopefully it's not louder than my current PS4, mines like a jet engine. Can still hear it when i have my headphones on, annoys everyone in the party.
I did even repaste and changed all the thermal pads. The strange thing is it's fairly quite when in game, but in menus its mental.
Moved my 4K HDR TV into my games room yesterday, tried some HDR on my reg PS4 and it looks good hopefully with the addition of the pro it will look top notch.

I guess in menus there no fps cap, sometimes find it on pc games loading screens.

As long as the TV can accept a full RGB signal it's not an issue
Sometimes you have to adjust the actual TV setting so you don't end up with crushed blacks. For example on my LG B6V you have to then set the 'Black level' to 'High'

My PS4 pro has always been loud as hell since I got it, around a month ago. Finally got round to getting it swapped. Logged a return Sat evening, replacement arrived Sunday afternoon. New one is much quieter.
I also picked up a few older games that I missed out on with my old PS4. Ratchet and Clank, Doom, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, around £18 each, bargain.

You've always made sure you can see all steps near black? I know with Ted's calibration disc I can just barely make out 0.5 near black which is level 17. I use limited because even the calibrators recommend it since you'll also be viewing media no doubt.

Granted mine is under my desk but I can't hear it at all.

On mine the disc drive is louder than my old ps4, but once disc has stopped or when playing digital, it's more quiet.

See I have thought about taking mine back (got it from argos) and getting a replacement, but I am worried I'll get a worse one lol. When you say you logged a return, did you mean from where you purchased or??

Yep, from the rainforest place.
Some people are bonkers. Alternatively some tv's don't support full range properly.
Heh, reading the comments in the article. Yet they think the blacks look better even though they cannot see shadow detail.

Well my PC and PS4 use the same input in the TV via the A/V receiver and the PC certainly does do full RGB for games and the like, and since my TV does also support a full RGB signal it's a lot less faff to have the PS4 Pro use Full RGB as well.
