Series X making a loud whiring sound while installing game from disc

Like, when I say it’s loud, the thing sounds like a hoover. 😳

Hi

That's not right at all. My Series X is almost silent, running Series X games or Xbox One games.

If it sounds that loud either there is a hardware fault or the consoles' location is not ideal.

While it's true that some games will make the system hotter, it should not sound like a hoover, even my high end gaming PC (self built) doesn't get that loud and it can reach 84C.

Got the exact same problem just freezes with a loud whiring sound and crashing to the dash, If It's not doing that It's losing connection and chucking you back to the lobby

Depends what noise it is you are talking about.

The Xbox One will make more noise while installing from a BluRay as it is spinning the disc at high speed to install the game.

Once installed, the game runs from the HDD and the disc is used for security authentication at boot up. That is why it is quiet when playing games.

So if the noise was a loud whirring, then that is normal during install. If it was anything else like grinding noise, that isn't normal.

Hello Drew, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the game.

If you're trying to install the game it may be easier to either do a network transfer or move the game to an external drive and then just attach it to the Series X. From there you should be able to move the game to the Series X and then only need the disc to play the game itself.

As for the discs themselves though check for any scratches that may prevent the reading of the disc properly. Another thing you could try is to take the console offline while you install the game as it's also possible that a game update may be interfering with the install as well.

Might be a simple problem that can be fixed by just doing a reset on the console. My console made a loud noise from either the disc drive or the fan, but like you said, it sounded like a jet engine. It did it only once and that was when I was installing
Forza 5 to the hard drive. It hasn't made a loud sound since. Needless to say, I purchased the extended warranty just to make sure...
