Is it normal for my Series X to make a buzz noise whenever it starts up?

Hi there! I'm more than happy to help you!

The buzz noise you are hearing is most likely from the disc drive setting itself up, and you've got nothing to worry If, for some reason, something does go wrong or you're experiencing any technical issues within the console, you can have your console repaired for free as long as if it's under warranty.

My Xbox 360 Slim E makes a loudish buzzing/humming noise when i start up most games and makes the noise for about 3-5 minutes , i have the games installed on my hardrive , is this normal for it to do that

My console always had coil whine, but that's not what I'm talking about. My Series X as of recently started making a hard drive like clicking sound, but only when idle and I'm on the home screen. And soon as I start a game, the noise completely stops. My Series X always made a low electrical buzzing sound when games were running and still does. With that being said, that's not what I'm concerned about, it's a clicking like sound that constantly continues until I launch a game and then it stops and the normal coil whine kicks in depending on the game.

The buzz sound, printer like, is intermittently when starting up in the menus and stable during the game phase, mixed with the noise of various fans (not so loud but approaching
the ear I feel it clearly). I don't know if it's normal in all One X, for me it's Coil Whine.

Hi, XBF Meryem R

Thanks for responding to my post, unfortunately I have tried a power cycle and factory resetting my Series X, but the buzzing/scratching/ticking noise still persists. The weird thing about it is, as I mentioned in my original post, my console never use to do this. I've also had the Series X since launch day 11/10/20 and it only started to do this fairly recently, close to a week now. My Series X on the top right side where the fan is, it makes a buzzing/ticking noise whenever I'm just using the dashboard, browsing the store, using Edge etc. The mechanical noises stop as soon as you launch a game, which is weird in itself. Usually coil whine happens during heavy loads like playing games that are demanding, but in my case it makes these noises when nothing is playing and I'm just on the homes screen or browsing around on the console. My console also makes a distinct static like sound when games are running as well, but it's not as concerning as the noises it makes when the console isn't doing any heavy workloads. With that being said, most coil whine comes from either the GPU or PSU, but the noise I'm getting is coming from the right side where the fan and vapor chamber/heatsink is. After putting my ear next to the fan and trying to pinpoint where the noise is coming from, I think it might be VRM or something to do with the motherboard around the CPU/GPU area. During the day you can't notice it unless you stick your ear next to the fan, but when I'm using the console at night when it's quiet, I can hear the strange buzzing/ticking. Anyway, I think there's something faulty or defective in my console and I'm afraid that it possibly might be a matter if time before it stops working.
