I need some more information on this issue.
Do you have digital or disk for Star Wars: Battlefront 2?
Are you playing on 4k?

The system fans kick into overdrive very quickly while the game loads. Once in the game, the system & fans quiet right back down. Something during loading is apparently causing an excessive amount of processing & heat. It's believed to be an uncapped framerate but I don't know how to prove that on a console. I have the game on PC as well & can definately confirm the loading screen are not capped. Fraps shows over 1300 frames per second.
Concerns here are not just the loud noise, but long term hardware damage as it is a whole bunch of heat coming out while in loading screens!

Like i said on other topic:
Ps4 pro it's a really * consolle, great games very bad hardware, they can't fix this and if they can they patch via software but not the hardware problem.
The true problem is that ps4 pro is rated for 310watt and with a small form factor a single little fan can't dissipate all the heat.
Just think the fan need to dissipate ram, vrm and gpg and... the PSU!!!
the air flow it's obstruched by psu u can see it froma teardown, the heatsink it's just a small 3 heatpipe with alluminium base...
We are in 2018 and frankly i don't want a noisy consolle, just think when we will play the last of us 2 all this noise how much will break the atmosfere...
Anyway the problem is the coil/whine and the high pitch of the fan that does up and down, really the worst scenario possible.
You can cap the frame rate yes but when very strong games will be out the consolle will overheat and will do the same elettrical noise.
I changed 3 of them cuh-7116b and all, i mean ALL have coil whine.
In one i lose warranty and i opened it i try repaste, adding fans and modding, nothing stopped the coil whine nether the sillicone/glue on capacitors.
Only sony can improve this situation by changing the design of the consolle but they don't care because we buy their * consolles anyway.
I will try a petition but frankly i'm tired and now i sell all my ps4.
Sorry for my horrible english.

Hey @jblakeney,
I got no new updates on the issue. We are still investigating the issue for the moment and we have no set date on when this is going to be fixed.
