    Should I return this Xbox?


    So yeah I'm still having issues with noisey Xbox consoles, the hard drive in my Xbox One does not sound particularly great, this recording is taken by a phone held near the disk drive end of the console.

    Should I return the console? Its a little bit annoying and I am worried it will develop into a bigger fault eventually.

    I assume you have gone into settings/display and experimented with different settings?

    I would recommend T.V connection set to hdmi rather than auto, Colour space to standard and colour depth to 24 bits.

    If the above is of no use to you, then yes, i would say get a new unit by either taking it back to the shop or setting up an advanced exchange with MS.

    The HDMI cable I'm using is a 4k cable from Monster. It's brand new and works fine on every other device but I appreciate the suggestion. As far as settings go I don't think that would be it either considering the fact that my picture looks great until the
    box goes haywire on start-up.

    I think I would. Mine is a little over a year old and if it makes a noise, it's very subtle and not very noticeable. i would do it while it's still under the warranty.

    Thats what I'm thinking, I keep seeing videos where people say this kind of thing is normal but I don't think it is as its constant and ca be heard about 4 feet away quite clearly. Sounds to me like a dodgy read head or something, just worried its going
    to go from bad to worse eventually and I will lose my console.

    My recommendation would be to switch the HDMI cable that you're using. That may fix your issue, if not, try another HDMI port on your TV. If after both of those tests, the issue still happens, you may want to look into getting a new Xbox or sending yours
    in for a repair.
