    Whirring Noise


    Hello,

    My Xbox One recently started to consistantly make a "whirring" noise whenever it is active. It's sounds to me like maybe something is wrong with a fan inside the console, but I am unsure. I tried the standard hard reset, and also using some compressed air
    to blow out any dust that could have settled, but to no avail. At worst, I am worried about the current and ongoing health of my console, and at the very least, it's a pretty irritating constant sound when I am trying to watch a show or play a game.

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Thanks.

    :)

    whirring noise

    is it a slim model? if its an original xbox could it be the fan? i know my fan was whirring then a few weeks later i got the red ring of death but that was on the white console and that damn console is still going strong and its 6 years old now

    whirring noise

    well i went and let my system sit for a moment, the tested it, the results were (ill provide the games for reference)

    with an the original problem game installed (skyrim) after several moments of playing the whirring sound started

    a test with a less intensive game (fight night round 4) the whirring sound wasn't there, but there may have been a slight high pitched noise i didn't recognize, though its hard to tell with how loud the Xbox 360 usually is

    a purely downloaded game (tell tales walking dead) produced no problems

    so im stumped as to what it could, i figured that it would go away with an install, or would be present for all disc games, but this has just made it more confusing for me. if anyone has some further insight it would be appreciated

    whirring noise

    Is the console standing on end or laying down?

    Whirring noise?

    @MaximumExtreme How would I know if ts the power brick? I hear something running in there as well but that's possibly as intended, the main noise is coming from the console

    Whirring noise?

    Oh yeah then don't worry about the vacuum then. I thought you had an older console. Try a hard reboot by holding the power down on the front of the console until it turns off then unplug the power brick from the console and outlet for 5 minutes then plug
    everything back in and power back on and see if you still here the noise. Make sure it's not the power brick making the noise as well. Sometimes they tend to go bad. If the hard reset doesn't work then I suggest doing what Purple mentioned but make sure you
    choose to keep everything or it will be deleted and you will have to start from scratch again.

    Whirring noise?

    @MaximumExtreme I will see later when i get homr but it's honestly pretty new still, only 4 or so months old, still looks slick and everything, if I find no dust what would you advise?
