The PlayStation 5 has a not-so-desirable feature of emitting a loud “mega beep” when the console is turned off. It may be a source of amusement to some people, but to others it can be an annoyance, especially to those living in apartment buildings or other tight living quarters. If you’ve been struggling with the noise, there’s good news: there is now a way to stop the PS5’s mega beep from disturbing your neighbours.
The good news comes from a recent software update from Sony. This update gives users the ability to change the beep’s volume and frequency. So, instead of having to listen to the beep at full volume every time you turn off your PS5, you can now make it quieter and less frequent.
Of course, not everyone is going to be happy about this update. Neighborhoods are often filled with people who don’t appreciate loud noises at night, so the PS5’s mega beep may have bothered some of your neighbors. Fortunately, the update gives you the ability to control the volume and frequency of the beep, so you can keep your neighbors happy.
Of course, the most important thing to remember is to be considerate when you’re playing your PS5. Even if you can now stop the mega beep from waking up the neighborhood, it’s still a good idea to turn the volume down when you’re playing during late hours.
The update is available for the PlayStation 5 console, and it can be found under the Settings > Accessories menu. It’s a simple process: all you have to do is go to the Accessories menu and select “Beep Volume & Frequency”. From there, you can adjust the volume and frequency until you find the right setting that won’t disturb your neighbors.
The PlayStation 5’s mega beep may have caused some frustrations, but good news has finally arrived. Now that you can control the volume and frequency of the beep, gamers can enjoy their PS5 without worrying about annoying their neighbors.
