Brand new Xbox S fan ticking

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Bol, the console is an electronic device, which passes electric current through it, and has the cooler, which emits a working noise as it rotates.

It's perfectly normal.

It just won't be normal, if the console gets hot, turns off, or says it was turned off due to overheating, my friend.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

I just want u to know that the "ticking" fan sound is very common... My xbox one s have had this issue since brand new.

There are professional tests done, check youtube. It's nothing to worry about since the fan aren't broken or anything. It's just anoying.

No need to worry 😉

Hi there ,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with the Xbox One S console.Sounds like the problem may be due to internal hardware. I recommend to
contact Customer Support for further assistance or visit the
Device service and Repair
site.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

I appreciate the info, but I returned it to the store and got a refund.

I had an X for 19 months. Solid as a Rock. Quiet. Next to X is PS 4 pro, sound like a jet taking off when the complex graphical scene comes up. Are you buying it from Microsoft or some third party? It seems impossible to me that same issue is with all
5! Are you sure that boxes are the real source of the sound? Have you tried to change the position of boxes?

You shouldn't be having a ticking sound. Is your area that the console is in free of dust? Any way you can upload a video with the sound you are hearing? Very strange to have that many consoles with the same issue.

Edit: Have a listen the the fan noise in this thread and let us know if it's the same sound you are hearing?
