Quick question: how loud is your PS2 fan?

well, mine make a whin sound at first when loading games, its kinda high pitch but not to much, just a bit, the you can hear it softly.

I think that sound is your CD drive.....

If it\'s loader than your CD drive when loading a game....than you have a bad fan.....

I think that everyone who just gets their PS2 posts here with the same question. Hell, I did! You have to think about it though. PS2s DVD Drive spins at 24x i believe, which can be pretty loud. If you have a newer faster PC CD-ROM drive, you know what I am talking about. Plus the fact that the fan is adding some extra noise. As soon as you use it alot, you won\'t even notice it anymore. Just turn up the volume on your reciever and you\'ll be fine. But, here\'s a tip: Keep PS2 in the horizontal position. I had the stand, and the friggin\' thing vibrated like all hell. I keep mine horizontal at all times.

I keep my PS2 vertical with the official stand.
The fan is still pretty quiet, although the drive
is noisy with some games.
I\'m not complaining because the drive is 24 speed
and the ps2 smaller than a pc and it\'s frame is plastic.
So I reckon that\'s as quiet as it gets !

the PS2 fan probably shouldn\'t be any louder than that of a PC. That might help you in comparing it, to see if you have a loud fan or sensitive ears.

Mine is relatively quiet. Does not bother me.

Mine hasn\'t made any noise since I got it. I\'ve never had any trouble with it. I can hear the fan, but it\'s very quiet...

Any louder then my PC?  HAHA, if the PS2\'s one mini lil fan was louder then the two big fans in my comp, I\'d unplug that thing and get a replacement immediately.  Anyways, my PS2 is super quiet, but my DC however, you can drop an H-bomb and you will still here that DC fan loud and clear.

Of course you wouldn\'t expect the PS2 fan to be louder than that of a PC, but when people are saying they have LOUD fans you have to have some way to compare it.

I\'d be interested to know exactly \'how loud\' the fans really are of the people complaining.

The Dreamcast makes terrible noises!!! My friend brought his over and put in Crazy Taxi. When it reads the games it makes this horrific grinding noise that makes you want to launch it out the window in fear that it\'ll blow up...you can here the laser trying to read the disc...it\'s scary...
