    As the title suggests, my ps4 gives off a random rattling noise when on and on standby, with and without a disk in the tray, best way to describe it would be a woodpecker hammering on wood, anyone else notice it, or know what it may be

    Sounds like the fan. No pun intended.

    If it is the fan it could cause some overheating problems that would be really bad. You should send it in to Sony.
