Have you tried cleaning the fans? They aren't difficult to access.
It's less than six months old and has its own dedicated shelf.... I did think to check that, but no, it came right out of the box being this loud.
Now that I think about it though, I haven't seen any other PS5s in person to compare, so for all I know I just have a bad unit.
My PS5 is 4 months old and my fans have never been that loud. Not even when two have been on and running at the same time. Granted we weren't playing disc games, but still... Fan noise shouldn't be that loud
