If you are one of those who only finds the perfect time at night to play the game console, you have probably encountered the annoying PS5 power-on beep. And the Sony console emits a powerful and annoying beep every time it turns on, turns off or presses the button to extract the disc from the Blu-ray reader. But can this sound be disabled?
How to turn off the PS5 beep
- Go to the Settings
- Choose System
- Go to the option Light and sound
- Turn off the sound with the option Silence
Deactivating the beep is quite simple, although as you can see, it is not necessary to turn it off completely, but you can also adjust the volume, something that will help a lot. This sound effect is annoying on many occasions, but it is also very useful when you have the console hidden in a closet or out of sight.
The steps are as follows:
- The first thing you should do is enter the Settings system, which is the gear icon in the upper right corner of the main menu.
- Once inside, the sixth option is System, which is where you must enter to continue with the next step.
- Look for the option Light and sound. That's where we can adjust the volume of the PS5's startup and shutdown beep, as well as the brightness intensity of the power indicator.
- Once inside the option, select the volume level of the beep you want to have, or as a more drastic measure silence it completely so that it does not ring again.
Is it advisable to disable the beep?
Deactivating the beep sound is not an irreversible measure, so if you need it you can activate it again. It is an audible indicator that has its function, since in case of having a power problem we would immediately know if the console is turning on or not.
Likewise, when it comes to turning it off, just by listening to the beep we would know if the console has gone to sleep or not without having to look at it, so as you can see, it makes more sense than you might expect. The key is to find an adequate volume that does not disturb, since we confirm that in the silence of the night turning on the PS5 can become quite a challenge.
