PS4 Questions

I know some early units had very loud fans that I believe Sony replaced free of charge, but does anyone with a newer white Destiny bundle have that issue as well? Mine sounds like a jet - I can hear it from down the hallway. The back vent blows hot air too, not just warm - actually hot. It's well ventilated on all sides, and I had to cut out an additional vent hole on the back of my TV stand. There is no loss of performance though, so I don't think it's overheating. It just strikes me as odd that it's so loud. For comparison, my kitchen is right next to my living room and I have a line of sight to the microwave (so no sound absorption from walls or anything) and I can hear the PS4 over it.

Also, it seems my cover is ever-so-slightly off/misalligned on the top. On the larger section, right where the front corner meets the LED bar), it's raised. Can't be more than .5 mm, but you can see it when close up and definitely feel it.
 
Dang, I'd see if you could RMA it or something.

Mine's always been pretty quiet, I have one of the pretty early ones (with 2TB M9T drive) but even in intense environments I really don't notice it.
