Xbox One Number 7 Fizzing Noise

B i G s T o K e · Nov 27, 2015

So far ive had 6 500GB Consoles 1 with Kinect 5 Without and then i swapped the previous one for this 1TB console without Kinect, Every console i have had has sounded terrible, Buzzing, Clicking, Chirping and Fizzing Noises all audible and extremely Annoying.
Now this console im speaking of now is less than 2 weeks old and when i get up close to it i can hear a noise exactly like when u put you ear next to a open can of carbonated drink, A faint fizz. Now it doesnt affect the consoles performance and everything
works fine but is this noise normal or should i take yet another one back, Im really tired of this now and coming to the point where i question if xbox is the console i should go with. Could anybody share some advice knowledge or support. It would be greatly
Appreciated. Below is a link to a recording i took. The clip is when the xbox is idle at home menu.

'Fizzing' Power supply

Is the light fizzing sound the power supply emits normal?

slight ticking/crackling noise from Xbox one console

So.. the noise is still there, but the situation im in is.. the noise im hearing is just like what im reading over the forums and like the videos they are posting (cracking/fizzing sounds) even when the noise stops and starts is the same (no noise playing
games, just at dashboard) but mine is at a much quiter level (have to put my ear right next to console to hear it) Im not sure what the reaction would be if I took it back to the shop.. could I just be over-reacting? don't want to take it back if its normal
but it does sound like static and is that anything to worrie about.

I have also just noticed the console only makes this noise when idle and not playing a game, its dissapears upon loading a game.

I haven't noticed my console making that noise but if you have had that many consoles doing the same thing it is hard to believe that you have gotten that many bad consoles. I know I bought a TV once that made a very similar sound and I thought that it
was a problem so I took it back and the replacement did the same thing. So I went back to the store and checked the display models and they were making the same sound. That TV worked for years with no issues.

I received my Xbox One yesterday, was fairly excited and all. Didn't have any money left to even buy any games for it yet. Just browsing the dashboard mainly.

But then the fan started making a whirring/buzzing/fizzing (like soda water in a glass) sound and it does this all the time unless I start up a game.

And noone responds on these forums or from the shop I bought the thing from, I guess it can only get better!

But truth be told, I hate Windows 8 on PC's, but it looks fine on consoles. And the controller is a beauty. But... that... noise!!! Argh.
