nintendo systems tend to be quiet.

durability didn't last with my gamecube but the n64 was solid. gamecube crapped out after 2 years and had to buy another one.

The least durable I had was the Dreamcast. It was the only system that didnt last. Even my old NES was still working a few years ago when I last tried it same with the SNES.

Laptops have tiny little fans that make it loud. PS4 had the same issue.

It sounds like the matting call of a Canadian buzzsaw.

Usually a loud system is because of dust.
The dust will clog up the internals and the fan has to run faster to cool the device.

PSP is interesting in that it's a loud system but not due to the fans.

Last gen consoles got loud as fuck

Plus the louder laptops are really thin for the hardware that gets packed in there, so they have to ramp the fans up a lot to get even the crappy temperatures that laptops tend to have.

if laptops had the luxury form factors of consoles that are only meant to be stationary in one place and not interacted with, i'm sure the noise would be kept at a minimum.

Dude the PS3 and PS4 are loud af. Sucks when you're trying to peacefully crank down without waking the missus but there's a jet engine in the living room. Almost impossible to have the sound on loud enough to hear without letting the entire house know you're a goddam pervert

I think the OG 360 with a game purely read off the disc (no installing on the hard drive) easily takes the cake for loudest home console

My PS4 Pro playing Ass Creed Valhalla could give it a run for its money.

I was forced to get a Pro after my original fucking died suddenly. It was quiet. For a little bit. I know damn well that when the jet engines made their presence heard that I didn't have it long enough to accumulate that much dust.
