Strange noise on Xbox series x

dustinbooth · Nov 7, 2021

For the last few weeks, I've noticed a popping noise coming from my series x while it's starting to heat up and after I turn the Xbox off. I can play for hours and no overheating nor any noises coming from the console while in gameplay. Is this possible heat expansion? Does anyone else have their console make these noises?

It's not even remotely close to overheating. I live in Florida, my series x sits right beside an AC. The more I look into the problem, the more I believe it's just the plastic getting hot and expanding and contracting. Seeing how I've went over 10 hours never had it close to overheating

I see, I believe it could be that too if the sounds sound like crackling, that could be the problem, but as I said this wasn't supposed to be happening even after 10 hours of gameplay, I suggest you activate your console's warranty if it does. is still on schedule.

I understand, I believe this problem was not supposed to happen, even after playing 10 hours straight, I have an Xbox series x console too and when I can play for more than 10 hours and I never had this problem, I never noticed my console hotter than normal also.

I suggest you read the article below, they are instructions on how to prevent overheating and what would be the best way to position the console.

It only happens while the console is heating up and after the console is shutdown. I can run it for 10+ hours and it never overheats.

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. This problem you are having is not supposed to happen, whether the Xbox series s or x both are extremely silent. Could you tell if this noise happens frequently, your games have some kind of error, or just shut down?

Has your console ever turned off by itself?

Usually, problems like this, which present noise, can happen due to hardware and not software problem.

- I suggest that you activate your console's warranty, as it may be a hardware problem, for that use the instructions in the article below.
