Is this sound on start up normal?

Hello

Hope you're well.

A week ago I bought a new Xbox Series X, everything works fine and I really love the console. It is my first xbox since the 360.

Since I moved my Xbox to my desk I noticed something. Whenever I start up the console it will make a "click" sound after the little startup sound. It sounds very mechanical. I'm very confused as to what it is.

In the link you can hear it yourself, I read it's either the diskdrive or the fan kicking in and that it's completely normal and happens on most xbox series x's. What do you think? Should I be worried? Do other people have it too?

Thank you in advance! I wouldn't want to return it!

Yes, don't worry mate, it is really normal.

And yes, I do have it happening since day one.

Hey , how are you today? Hope you're well.

First of all, congratulations on your purchase, Series X is an awesome console.

I did hear it. And yes, I believe it's normal, and it's the disk reader, actually. If it were the fans, you would also hear them spinning. And I do have a Series X too, and mine does the exact same thing. So, rest assure, it's normal.

That's a bit reassuring, as some people tell me to return it.

It's very confusing getting these mixed signals.

Not at all, it works perfect. Just does that "thump" sound.

Some people seem to freak out about it, and so did I because of it.

But I see alot of people saying they have it, including you.

Did it happen from purchase with you?

If you do see any performance issue, I do advise you to trigger the warranty
