Mine is horizontal and admittedly not in the best place for ventilation, though the same can be said for the PS3 and that is far quieter when the fans kick in. It's an easy choice when watching media to use the PS3 for it's quietness in comparison.

Mine ramps right up quite a bit. The witcher kicks it in the nads and it ramps up all the time.

IV, you're such a child. I haven't even drawn any comparison to other consoles, so you can't use that as a defence here.
It's an undeniable fact that PS4's are in no way "silent" in operation. Anyone here claiming that they can only hear their PS4 when they have their ear above it is either:
A) deaf
B) in denial

My ps3 slim is quieter than my ps4
*edit* I've moved it on top of the storage unit it's now better but still ramps up a bit, I've only got my brothers to compare it with and his is still a lot quieter than mine so I've got nothing really to loose by sending it away
(Must remember to put the stock 500gb drive back in
)

Careful, you'll be called out for calling people liars...
If its in a bad place for ventilation, its going to spin its fan up. Move it to a place where it has more ventilation.

LOL, who sits there of an evening with their ear glued to the console?
If you're getting intrusive fan noise from it even when it's idle on a menu or using it for media then there's probably something not quite right with it. Mine is more audible in certain games (Ether One in particular, Metro Redux at times too) but generally it's fairly quiet although I don't play my games on mute so its not an issue either way. Certainly far less intrusive than my 360S.
No surprises pioneer2000 got a loud one, karma in action I suppose.

And you're such a pathetic fan boy - but hey don't let that stop you from pressing that ignore button if you don't like being called out.
I have an Xbox one and a ps4... I've never heard the Xbox, the ps4 I've heard twice since launch. It's barely audible. Its not even worth talking about. There's talk about some being louder than others, YouTube videos confirm that, but my ps4 is basically silent.
You dont need to, but you said yours wasnt in the best place for ventilation, and gets loud.

Silent films?

The X1 is so silent it's almost eerie.
Quite incredible how quiet it is, the PS4 on the other hand is.......very quiet. Occasionally get a fan noise but once in a blue moon. Again, it's a great little system when it comes to noise.
