    Xbox one makes "achievement unlocked" sound while not plugged in?


    Wasn't sure where to post this, just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? Like maybe once or twice a week my xbox makes the "achievement unlocked" sound randomly, hasn't been turned on or plugged in for about a year and has been doing it ever
    since. Kind of freaks me out because it belonged to my best friend who passed away a couple years ago. Haven't found anything about it online, just looking for a logical explanation. I don't know the exact model but it's one of the older xbox ones.

    :)

    Hi
    Washerx
    ,

    The only devices that can produce the "achievement unlocked" sound are the Xbox (but if you have unplugged it can't emit any sound), the PC (if on and online) and your smartphone (if you have the xbox app with your account linked). No device is connected
    when you hear the sound?

    Huh do you play on PC? Also perhaps it's coming from the app if you have that installed.

    Do you live in an apartment complex or have other people living close by? It could have been coming from a nearby gamer doing gaming things with the volume up way too loud.

    Thanks for the quick replies, pretty much the answers I figured I'd get lol. Was just hoping someone had this happen before or heard of it happening. I'm 99.99% sure nothing else in my house is capable of making the sound, but I won't waste anymore time
    thinking about it. Thanks again.

    Just to further back up Legendgenesis, I don't believe that the Xbox One can make any other sounds than the On/Off sounds. Even then the unit itself would have to be connected to some power source to be making sounds at all. Any other electronics around
    the area that might be making similar sounds? Alternatively, I did find this article online through Eurogamer from 2014 about the early Xbox One units having a small sound being emitted when receiving a low level of power (stand-by mode), but with that being
    said, it's a faint buzzing/fan whirring sound, rather than the actual Achievement pop sound.

    Hope you find some answers!
