40GB PS3 quieter - Blu-ray Forum

Frode · 11-12-2007, 01:02 PM

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but apparently the 40GB PS3 has dropped the noise from 36dB to 30dB. This is the result of lower power requirements:

I have read this myself in a number of articles. Not bad. I have a 60gb and have never experienced an issue with the noise. If mine was any more quiet I wouldn't be able to hear it with my ear right next to it. Nice work Sony!

Agreed. With my 60 gig I couldn't hear it even if the sound was turned down.

Add me to the list of people with a 60gb that makes no noise. Even during completely silent parts of a movie I don't hear it.

i'm one of the unlucky souls to have a "loud" 60g PS3. not loud really, but i can easily hear fan noise during quieter scenes. this news i keep hearing about the new 40g being quieter makes me want to maybe get a second PS3....
