Odd noise when turning console off/on

Traygor Icarion · May 10, 2014

Since that last update this has been happening. It sounds like the optical drive is checking for a disc or something, but I don't have one in, and the sound is totally new as well.

It sounds like a single "chug". I'm pretty sure it's not the hard drive. I have only used a disc once, on the first day, and all digital since. Which is why this seems weird to me it kind of came out of nowhere. I experimented with inserting and ejecting
discs, it seems to have lessened the sound but it's still there.

I bought the console on march 11 and have had no problems so far.

Whining Noise from Xbox One

Sadly i do not know of a way to fix it other than to send it to Microsoft. I recently got the Xbox One S off of ebay and i swear it makes an odd noise when it is running. My problem is that the console keeps turning itself off every 5 minutes when i try
to play a game. It is an internal hardware problem.

Strange noise when turning console on/off (video included)

Does yours also make the sound when you turn it off?

I've had this since I first got my console in November. Usually when turning the console on.

It doesn't seem to be causing any problems though.

My console works fine otherwise and isn't getting any worse.

It makes the noise when I push the eject button, when I turn it on and when I turn it off sometimes it would do it when I'm playing a game or if I turn the console off it makes the noise again 5 minutes later.

Edit: I think it is the console and not the game. Also when the console auto turns off, it makes a whirring noise

STARVING MARVIN

I have recently started getting the noise in standby only and have kinect always plugged in so it makes no difference to me. I have noticed that the console also gets very warm with the noise in standby I left it in this state for at least 16 hours and the
noise does not stop till I turn the console on.

Sometimes I can switch the Xbox off in standby and the noise is not there and the console goes cold as you would expect.

I have a lauch console so it has been fine for a while very odd
