    Xbox One making noise while off


    I was woken up by this nightmarish, high pitched buzzing sound. I thought it was an alarm, or maybe someones fire alarm was going off, but it was coming from my xbox! It was turned off, I wasn't installing anything, and I had to unplug the power supply to
    make it stop.

    Is my xbox one dying? Do I need a new power cord? What's going on?

    :)

    So you are saying that is normal for the console to aways have the fan on!? Even if it´s off, the normal is for the fans to continue working forever...Because the fan is cooling...what? Something that it´s not even heating?!?!Are you serious?!?!

    Xbox One making noise while off

    Hi, it's possible your power settings are set to instant on. When that is on the Xbox is only in standby mode, so the fan will still move and sometimes may make a noise. If you don't want that, then change the power setting to power saving mode, and that
    will completely turn the Xbox off.

    @StuartATrueRed is correct and I will just add. Depending on your power settings, you might have it set to turn off when activity is done. Some activities would be, downloading a game or an update.

    Hey GamerCat492!

    So yeah, the console is not supposed to make any high pitched sounds at all.

    If changing your power mode doesn't help, it could be very well that there is a mechanical issue with your console and you might want to talk to support about your repair options for it.

    You can check what kind of options are available on your side by going to
    https://support.microsoft.com/devices     or you can contact Xbox support directly at
    Customer Support

    Look that info through and let us know if that helps with the issue

    Thanks!

    Xbox one S making noises while off.

    Thanks. I also talked to two others who said this is probably normal.

    I think I also just live in a hot environment. Thanks again for your answer.

    Hi Daniel C! I’m more than happy to help you!

    I understand your concern about the noises you hear on your Xbox One S while it is off in power saving mode. Let me give you information about it.

    It is normal for your Xbox One S to make some occasional noises while in power saving mode. These noises can be caused by several factors, such as internal ventilation and system cooling. Even when turned off, the console may perform background tasks such as automatic updates or content downloads, which may cause noise from time to time. However, if the noises are constant, very loud or worrying, it could be indicative of a technical problem.

    Best Regards, Jerome
