Electrical noise when off? (Instant on is off)

NOVA1989 · Mar 23, 2023

Is it normal to hear a current when by the rear of the Xbox where the power supply plugs in?

I’ve got all energy saving features off but when I press my ear against the system I hear like an electrical buzz or current,,,

Hello again, are you leaving it in Standby or are you doing the complete shutdown, because even in Standby it shouldn't make any noise, it can make a very low noise but you would have to put your ear against the console to hear it.

Xbox Series X - even with the console fully shut down, if I place my ear at the top I can hear a buzz like there’s a current. No fan spinning etc.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Nova1989, are you referring to your Xbox power supply, what console model do you have, is it the Xbox One Fat that has the external power supply, or some other type of model?

Only just noticed this occurring on my console yesterday evening, it is accompanied by a static/electric style click. Mine only appears to make itself known when the console is off using 'Instant On' mode.

Is your Xbox using that power-up method and does the noise continue when the console is in Standby?

I don't hear any noise when my XBOX off in instant on mode.
