Strange noise coming from Xbox one

VOXGM · Mar 25, 2015

So I just picked up my X box a few days ago and it's making a strange printer like noise when at the dashboard. It only makes the sound when either updating a game or sitting at the dashboard. When I put in a game the noise disappears. The noise is not very
loud just concerning. when I first got the console there would be a one second interval between buzzes and when doing game updates. Now today the buzz/static noise has turned into constant buzz(No updates running).Again it's not very loud you have to be really
close to it to hear it. I hear it's either coil wine or an Xbox connect issue. Should I return it and get a new one or will this happen with the next console?

Xbox One making strange high pitched noises

I have an Xbox One that is making strange high pitched (beeping sort of, sounds sort of like a malfunctioning fire alarm) noises during an update. I haven't updated nor used the console in a while... I have heard the "high pitched whirring" noises coming
from my Xbox but this sounds different. Is it just my Xbox updating or do I have an issue with it?

Printer like noise?

A quiet clicking/ticking type noise will be normal hard drive noise.

But it's hard to tell if the buzzing noise is normal unless you can hear it.

Do you have any way of putting it on youtube or something?

Also do you have Kinect?

There were threads about Kinectless Xboxes making a high pitched hum. You could try searching the forums for one of these threads.

It sounds like this

You can only hear it at about 2 feet away from the system. I see that this is a possible coil wine and a lot of people are recommending to return the console? But wasn't the October update supposed to correct this issue? My console is a 1540 2-2015 model
halo edition without kinect.

Here's another video I found this is what it sounds like now. But definitely not as loud.

I think mine sounds similar to the one in the second video except not as loud.

It's never really bothered me though. As my friends console makes a similar noise too I just assumed it was normal.

Hi
there Mary,

Thanks for the reply! If the noise persists after the
power cycle
of the console.

Try doing a
soft factory reset of the console,
Reset and keep games and apps to help reset the operating system. Please note before doing this troubleshooting step, make sure to know your email and passwords for your Xbox profiles.

Try this out and let us know the results.
