My xbox was working fine then one day it just starting making this loud noise no matter what i did play games, sit on the dash etc, sounds like all the recording you can here online at the mo.

Spoke to support and they said it wasn't right and if i send it off they will send me a new one. So that was cool but.....after sending it off i noticed online that it was down for repair so i messaged them again and told them what the other support worker
told me and i showed them the transcript of the chat, they wouldn't do anything so i asked to speak to a manager to cut a long story short the arranged for my xbox to be sent back then i could arrange a advanced exchange.

Well its come back today, in a new box etc. Its the same one and ive plugged it in, well it works and its dead quiet for now woo hoo!!

What they did i don't know. they must of done something as it was all reset and i had to start from scratch. There is a letter just saying sorry for any inconvenience and gave me 1month free xbox live.

This isn't a complaint im just happy to have my xbox back. I will say the only time i hear the noise is when installing a game so to me that means its a HDD fault or disk drive.

So to all of you how have the noise get it looked at or take your xbox back to the shop what ever is easier for you!

Fingers crossed you get it sorted and i hope my xbox lasts now.

I have 2 Xbox One's, the forst is Kinectless version, second is Titanfall bundle with Kinect, both with coil whine pre-update (secon unit less severe). After update, coil whine is gone on the kinectless unit, but still the same on Titanfall bundle. However,
the kinectless One got the horrible disc drive noise, same as DimaK67. Noise will gone after 20 minutes , but is very irritating, specially with Blu-ray discs.

if you watch video until the end then click back to the start you can really tell the difference

Mine dose it with the disk in or out. Had a oh this morning but couldn't play, had to have the TV down low as it was early and the Xbox was louder than it.

It was all fine till Sunday just gone.

Still debating if I should send it off?!

mine will read the disc ok. its just as soon as it turns on there is this loud whurring noise that comes from the drive no matter what you are doing (games,apps, dashboard) only way to prevent it is to remove the disc. so for some reason it sounds like the
disc is constantly being accessed even when its not needed

My Xbox has never had the noise, nor did it develop the noise after the update so I am unsure what to suggest given your details on the situation. Is it possible it is the optical disk drive spooling like some users report after the update?

Im not entirely sure what you are saying perpax78.

But i would love to hear from someone who had an xbox with the crackling noise before the latest update if their Xbox is now completely quiet or if like me the crackling has been replaced by an overall much louder console.
