Forums - Sony - Is my PS3 haunted?

It was making beeping sounds while on standby :o 

It was also doing it earlier today out of nowhere while I was playing a game. I thought it might be overheating, but that wasn't it. Google didn't turn up any useful answers.

Have you got it set to autodownload games/updates and back up saves?

Is your eject button depressed properly (or not caked with shit if a old model)


Yeah, I checked and it looks ok.

It just wants some attention, I haven't used it in awhile.

No need for drastic action lol

Surge protector.

I did a little more sleuthing on the interwebs..

Do you have remote play enabled? Sometimes it will pick up some wacky signals and beep.

Do you have a Comcast cable box or DVR? They sometimes beep and it sounds almost exactly the same as the PS3.

And stupid but make sure it isn't a smoke detector with a low battery..

If it isn't one of those, then I donno. As long as the consoles working fine, it probably wont be an issue. If it's annoying, I believe you can turn the beep sound off in the system settings.
