I’m getting a high fan noise on my Xbox Series X , under few conditions. Any suggestions...

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.

Yeah I hear you. It's not right having to put up with the annoying sound of a fan whirring constantly but that's not to say it's going to fail. I have a couple of noisy fans in my PC, one of which is nearly 5 years old and is still going strong. Granted,
some fans do have inherent problems with bearings/coils and will unfortunately grind to a stop one day but that's just the risk we all take with electronics.

With all that said though, and this has just come to me, high pitched squeaking noises sometimes come from HDD's. I personally can't here these noises as I have an inner ear condition called tinnitus, but if that's what some of you are hearing it could be
the HDD's making the noise and not the fan. If that's the case then it's a game changer because through experience HDD's making high pitched squeaking noises are already on their way out and you'll need to get it serviced sharpish.

What started as a subtle noise on my first 6 month old Series X turned into a complete failure of the disc drive and the console was replaced under warranty.

Don't leave it to late to get it repaired or replaced under warranty.

My day one Scorpio is approaching PS4 pro god of war levels of fan noise. It was virtually silent even playing enhanced games like gears 4, rise of the tomb raider, etc... Now they produce high fan noise. It really ruins the peace of RDR 2 when it sound
like someone in camp is using a leaf blower. I’m just worried that once my warranty is up the fan will die and it will overheat, or if i ask for a warranty exchange it will be a waste of time and I’ll be told to just ignore the noise.

Same here man! Even cleaned my fan and system, still the same thing man I’m thinking it’s a hardware problem and will most likely give in and grab an Xbox series x bc I’m having these problems constantly on my s
