Hi all

My ps5 has recently started rattling for a few minutes periodically. Only started recently. Every 15 minutes or so. Any idea what cause might be?
Could dust build up cause it? If so any idea how to clean?

Thanks.

My bet would be a failing cooling fan bearing. Its making the noise periodically because the fan isn't spooling all the time. There's more than one fan inside the PS5, so you may have to do some diagnostic work to isolate which one is making the noise.
