PS5 Buzzing Sound – How To Fix
The buzzing sound is linked to the disc spinning in the console, so it’s only a problem on the standard PS5 and when in a vertical position. However, Reddit user Firefly_85 found a solution by removing the cover on the disc side and placing a ‘few sheets of paper only about 1mm thick’ on the top of the drive and replace the panel.

Another user points out that using your finger to apply the slightest pressure on top of the console stops it too, and recommends simply adjusting the stand to permanently solve the problem.
