    When I start up a game my Xbox starts making this loud clicking sound I think it's the fan but when I looked a other peoples Xbox on youtube it was not making the sound so is this normal or should I be worried?

    Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    It seems that it is only the fan that is making the noise. It is common with the new generation consoles if it happens most of the time. I would highly recommend sending the console for repair. You can create one from this link, https://support.microsoft.com/devices.

    Xbox Series S Fan isn't humming like normal.

    So usually when I play on my series s the fan makes a loudish noise....
    The Series S, just like the Series X is designed to be quite, in normal gaming (even when play X|S optimised games) the Series S fan should not be audible. It should be pretty much silent.

    Have you changed the location of where your console is located? These consoles get warm (hot even), this is normal. So their location is actually more important than hearing the fan spinning.

    Xbox Series X buzzing/ticking noise coming from the fan area.

    My console always had coil whine, but that's not what I'm talking about. My Series X as of recently started making a hard drive like clicking sound, but only when idle and I'm on the home screen. And soon as I start a game, the noise completely stops. My Series X always made a low electrical buzzing sound when games were running and still does. With that being said, that's not what I'm concerned about, it's a clicking like sound that constantly continues until I launch a game and then it stops and the normal coil whine kicks in depending on the game.

    Disc Drive is eject happy

    It likely is

    When it's reading the disc, it sounds normal, though kinda loud.

    I'll look into going to take it apart though i might just deal with it.

    Speaking of getting a new xbox, i would like to but if i already didn't have a series S gifted to me. I play my physical games on the gool' ol VCR
