Hey mate,
Is this an issue with just the game or any game, it sounds like an issue with your console if it is making noises and I suspect it is either its hard drive or cd tray/laser
If that's the fan, I have it too.
Have you tried cleaning your console?
If you don't want to void your warranty here is something you could do;

If you don't mind voiding your warranty and want to achieve a full clean;

Give that a try and let me know if it helped! as it sounds as if the PS4 is being ran harder in order to compensate for the game
What you are describing sounds similar to what PC users experience on high end hardware. It sounds like coil whine. It produces a very high pitched squeal that is barely audible, but just enough to catch your attention. My PC does it when under very heavy loads - Mainly from the GPU. It would be quite interesting if these consoles have it... lol
Hey mate,
All consoles have moving parts, they can collect dust quite quickly, I work in a school IRL as an IT tech, some PCs there only got a clean in august and yet a week after I was called out to clean it again as it was overheating.
It all depends on;
- Geographical location
- How active the location is with people
- Pets
- Does food get eaten near or next to the console (crumbs actually get sucked up)
Hey,
I´m having the same high pitched noise when loading into any game mode in Battlefront 2.
I already returned the first PS4 Pro I bought, but the issue is the same on the replacement.
Thought it was the hard drive, but after replacing it with an ssd the sound was still there.
The only other moving parts are the fans.
So did anyone find a solution or even an explanation?
Hey, the noise you're hearing is called 'capacitator squeal'. Whilst it doesn't always mean anything, in this case it is bad. It is caused the game not having a frame cap in the loading screens. It also happens on PC. For instance, on my pc I'm seeing fps as high as 2000-3000fps in loading screens, which WILL kill graphics cards in the long run. Exactly the same problem happened to me a few years ago while playing the old sims 3 on a new system, so believe me, I know what i'm talking about. On PC i installed rtss to cap my fps at 120 and voila problem solved. However i'm not sure if you can do anything about this on console. If they don't solve/notice this problem real soon, I predict this game will kill a great many systems of unexpecting customers in the next few weeks.
