My Xbox wasn’t hot during these times and had gotten hotter before, I did try to reset my Xbox but it didn’t work, I also moved it from a heat source

My console does not makes any sound when factory resetting. But did the factory reset process go through?

Righto, I've pressed the reset console option and directly after pressing it the console itself let out a high pitch but quiet sound, Is this common?
