Title: SURVEY ***How noisy is you PS2?***
Post by: MrWhiteUK on June 05, 2001, 12:18:57 AM: Blue Discs + Horizontal = NOISE

All other discs, vert or horz are totally silent.

The best way to describe it is if you have a fast CD-ROM on your comp 30x plus you know what that sounds like when it gets up to speed, exactly like that. But the PS2 has a fast drive (30x?) so that prolly explains it.

When I put it vert, it goes quiet.

Blue discs have the most data so they have to spin the fastest also.

Black PSone discs are fine
DVD video/game are fine
CD Audio are fine

My mate bought one the same time as me he has it vert and said it is quiet, brought it round my place, put it horz and put a blue disc in, noisy.

It is a little better if I take it off te unit and put it on the carpet.

I will list some discs and say where they are noisy, if you lot could just put your ps2 horz and if you have any of these discs test them to see if they\'ar noisy.

Red Faction Demo - Noisy for only a sec or two on startup

GT3 demo (official ps2 mag) - Noisy on startup, quitens in game

Tekken 3 - Also noisy on startup

Crazy Taxi - Noisy up until game starts

I have rang Sony and they say nothing is wrong.

Thanks alot guys

Peace

Post by: Gradman on June 05, 2001, 12:38:11 AM: For me, tekken tag in the horizontal position makes a LOT of noise on startup, and occasionally that noise continues through for a little while, but will eventually stop during gameplay. Timesplitters makes less noise, but still does generate a bit.

SSX for me is fine though, and no PSX disks make noise

And the only disc/game that makes a loud noice i SSX.

Its pretty odd. Sometimes it is very loud.. and sometimes its less noisy..

Its just SSX that has this problem... Maybe a "vobble:y" disc :)

Post by: eNeMyTooTH on June 05, 2001, 01:52:30 AM: The ps2 is always loud which annoys me with my tv mono sound :( Tekken Tag Tournament is Loud as HELL! I can\'t believe it this may be a coincidence but it\'s scratched too. wonder why it vibrates so much? Annoying :)

Post by: macabre on June 05, 2001, 06:47:32 AM: I had the noise problem with SSX and Timesplitters( 1 time each).
I use to eject the disc and put it in again , then the noise is gone.

Post by: Falcon4 on June 05, 2001, 07:32:49 AM: no problems here, tho only noise it makes is the fan and a little odd rumble when i take a cd out, but nothing big.
and the blue disks store the least amount of data.
usually the noise is about the wobbly disk.

My bro\'s Japanese ps2 makes the loudest noise.I think the latest model is not so noisy as the early ones.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on June 05, 2001, 08:38:35 AM: but the question is: what´s that sound? The fan or the disc load?

What do you think?
Title: SURVEY ***How noisy is you PS2?***
Post by: MrWhiteUK on June 05, 2001, 09:32:04 AM: Mine is when the CD drive spins at it\'s fastest. Blue discs hold the most data for a CD.

Post by: Hawke on June 05, 2001, 10:33:19 AM: Mine purrs silently, except when playing TTT. The disc really gets a good spinning with that game. Other games don\'t cause as much noise. At least I haven\'t noticed (headphones in use).

Post by: pstwo on June 05, 2001, 11:32:40 AM: MrWhiteUK, this is so true!! I thought it was the program on each game that makes these games noisy. But when you said that the blue discs was noisy and the PSone, DVD and music disc not noisy. That is so true. :D

Post by: ooseven on June 05, 2001, 11:40:13 AM: DVD\'s nice and quiet
DVD games Summoner run\'s like a dream
Blue CD Some noise but noting that will put you off.

DEFECTIVE disks (and so for i have had only one of them) = Noisey as hell.

the defective disk was my first MGS2 DEMo and it was scrathed to F%^& and that was on an "unopened" Paper folder it came with, got it replaced and it runs fine with little noise.

i always keep my PS2 Horisontal for 2 reasons.

1) I have cats and they will knock it over it over if it put it standing up

2) i can fool myself that i have a X box ;) j/k :p

Post by: kopking on June 05, 2001, 12:54:54 PM: star wars= louder than normal apart when put it vert, unreal does it to, but i dont really notice it now. i though it was loud when i first got my ps2, but after 10 mins i realised it wasnt just not used to it, mine usually makes a slight humbing noise
