Fan Rattling Noise

RegencyDuck7094 · Oct 25, 2016

Had Xbox One since December. Has recently started making a rattling noise from the fan. Noise is only produced if console is sitting horizontally, tilting it either way will make it stop. I'm guessing the fan could be hitting something, or is loose. Any
advice?

Odd Power Brick noise

My power bricks fan makes a loud rattling noise like somethings stuck in it. Is this bad?

You may try to change the position of your console and see if the noise is gone, sometimes dust caught in the fan can cause it to make rattling noise.

Hey RegencyDuck7094! You will most likely need to have the console repaired, head over to

It doesn’t turn off by itself but the sound it makes isn’t like a fan sound, it sounds like your holding a piece of plastic onto a fan blade and it makes a rattling noise.

Could you please describe the noise?

Is it a rattling noise like a worn out fan bearing?

Or is it a deep humming sound like a disc spinning in the drive "off center"?

Is it an electronic buzzing or humming?

Is it a "whining" sound like electrical coils chirping?

Depending on the noise it can be different things, and not all can be fixed by yourself.

Unless it's a disc rattling in the drive, there is nothing you can do to fix it yourself, and you need to sign up your console for a (warranty) repair at https://devicesupport.microsoft.com

At least for my own Xbox One X, it should make a continuous "whoosh" noise when the fan spins up. Depending on the game, it can be relatively quiet, or jumping up and down in speed, or remain somewhat high.

I saw your video, but I didn't hear any rattling in particular. Do you hear the same noise when the Xbox is placed on different surfaces? I'm wondering if the rattling you hear might be coming from other loose things sitting on your desk?
