Screeching noise coming from console

YUMS00 · Apr 25, 2017

I recently bought an xbox one from a friend and there is a horrible screeching noise coming from it while I am not in a game. I happens when I am watching Netflix, youtube, or just sitting in the menu. This is a video of how mine sounds:. I have read online
that Microsoft was replacing the consoles that were affected by this noise a while ago, but I just got my console and it isn't under warranty anymore according to the repair website. Is there anyway to repair it?

XBOX Makes Screeching/Scratching Noise When I Play Certain Games! PLEASE HELP

I would try deleting the installed game off the hard drive first. Then test the xbox to see if it reads ok from the disc. If it does, try to re install your game to the hd and see if you get the same noise. Do you know if the noise is coming from the disc
drive or the hard drive. I have a 250gb slim console and have heard the disc drive make a screeching sound before. It happend while it was updating and a game was in the drive. It went throuhg the full update then tried to boot the game in the disc drive,
it didnt boot up , I was stuck at a black screen and I could hear this awful screeching noise. I ended up powering the system off, and it re booted with no problem at all. Hope some of this info helps.

Hey YUM,

Sorry to hear about the noise issue, that definitely does not sound normal. Has there been any performance related issues that have occurred? While your Xbox One console is no longer under warranty, you do have the option to repair outside of the warranty
for a fee if you choose to go that route. If there are performance related issues along with the noise, our main advice will be to set up the repair through the website you referred to.

Hope this helps.

Hahaha, magnetic tapes and the screeching noises it made, oh, lordy! The Commodore 64's tape deck comes to mind, then came the superfast (at the time) mega-huge 51/4-floppy disks. The poor old days, man.
