Be very careful using a garage air line to do this. Fair chance you'll be blowing quite a bit of moisture through your PS4 as well as air. Most industrial or commercial compressors will not have any sort of filter or moisture trap on them.
In fact a garage air lines will often be used in or around a big tank of water used to detect leaks in tubes or tyres.
So just be careful if you do this, personally I wouldn't, either use a moisture trapped compressor (they're actually not that expensive and a really handy thing to have around) or buy a can of compressed air.

Many air line compressors have a built-in tank that collects water from the environment also; they should be drained regularly but I can imagine that most garages do not do this as often as they should, if ever.

Their primary use would be for pumping up tyres and other mechanical applications, and hardly ever for cleaning consumer electronics, so I wouldn't use one within a garage for that very reason. If you were to get a hold of a suitable air compressor though, obviously don't blow it at full blast, play it safe at 15 psi and that would do the trick.

I'll give it a blow with the bicycle pump first.

While it is true what you say... I have used this method for years now without any problems on consoles and pc's. I let the air line blast for a few seconds to blow out the initial air.
I just leave the device stand for a few hours in the room before starting up.

Is it still within warranty, because that is ridiculously loud, worse than my day one PS4, sounds like fan might not seated properly even.

Is Little Nightmares worth getting for 12.99?

The complete edition is 19.99

I've played a good bit of it and it's very good. Some what the hell moments as well.

Aye, some games not all. That was Horizon. I'm thinking it might be to do with storage, seems to quiet down with the door opened.

Actually I would be going back to Sony about that Noise I have a Pro and it's very quite! If you search youtube you will find plenty of other Pro's that loud which is not normal. I would say to them it seems to be overheating and you're worried it might go faulty and start a fire, that will usually get them to repair or replace it.

Got one of them as well.

Yupp, just got the beta invite as well. I like the custom groups for the friends list so you can sort by game but I think making groups for each game is more efficient, will have to give it a look see. Also, muting notifications while you are watching videos, tv, netflix, etc is a huge welcome!

Herea are the features:
