constant loud fan noise

x 8up local x · May 14, 2014

i picked up a XBox 360 E 250gb console back in Nov. 2013. i usually play about 3-4 hours a day and everything has been great up till las'night. a few minutes after turning on my machine it started making this loud humming noise. at first i thought it might
of been the driver, but it's the fan. sounds like it's getting over worked or something maybe. it still does it even with no disc in the drive and is there from start up to shut down so this is why i'm thinking it's the fan. as far as i can see the machine
is clean (not even any dust build up around the vents) i was wondering if this is a problem with the newer "E" version or do you think it's a one off problem only affecting my machine? the machine is working fine from what i can tell, just the loud fan noise
bugs me and i have to turn my volume up to hear over it.

Xbox One X Fan sounds way louder than usual

Ok I moved it and it has not shut off sense but the Xbox One X Fan noise is not constant and is still loud maybe not as loud as a jet engine like I describe before but still loud way louder than my Xbox One S and OG Xbox One, it would have a fan burst
when I'm playing which is loud and annoying and the fan noise would never be at a constant noise level while I'm playing a game.

360 Slim power supply noise

My 360 slim power brick is making a constant loud fan noise, i have replaced the original with an used one from Gamestop and its still making the same noise. Is there any fix for this?

I have two E consoles and do not have this issue, it must be an isolated issue. If you are sure there's no dust, the only other action you can take is to send it in for maintenance. Since you got it in Nov of 2013, assuming it's new, it is still under warranty.
If it's used, this is probably why they sold it.

So again, I suggest sending it to get repaired.

There's been a constant buzzing noise on my brick. Not a loud one, just something you'll hear if you're next to it with no TV/radio on. It's apparently normal and several people report the same. After all, there is power in it when it's on insta on mode
and there is a fan keeping it cool or so I've heard. If it's actually loud then you should contact support but slight background noise is normal for it.

Hi there,

Is your console making a loud noise when its loading a game? Or is it a constant loud noise even when it's not processing anything.

Sometimes it is common for the console to make a noise when loading some games. But if it is a constant noise and your console is under warranty you may lodge a request for a repair here at Device
support

same issue, pulsating fan noise. Although it's not a loud fan noise, it's a pulsating up and down noise that is more aggravating and seems more distracting than a louder stable fan noise.
