Is that a quirk of the 'pro' version?

I have read many complaints online of people calling the PS4 noisy. I have a PS4 slim, and it is very quiet, the optical drive is by far the loudest part of the machine.

Yeah. I have a "launch" Pro, and it's been noisy as heck since day one. haha

As others have said, they fixed it in later revisions of the hardware. :)

The Pro is super loud. Some PS4 non-Pro models can also get pretty loud, but it's more hit-or-miss.

The later Pros supposedly have revisions to make them less loud

They must, I've been playing TLOU2 on my ~1 year old PS4Pro and it's very quiet, almost silent. I've never heard it make much noise on any game, even when ambient temps creep into the mid 80's.

It depends how you have it placed, too. I played on a 2 year old Pro and it was extremely loud, but I have it stuffed in a media center cubby, so it's always suffering from low airflow.
