Xbox One S keeps making a weird ping noise

Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Is it too loud? And do you have a disc inserted to your disc drive where the sound is possible coming from?

I did an exchange recently via MS and got a brand new unit with a manufacturing date that was 3 weeks old. May want to try MS.

I purchased the Madden bundle and the first one I had made a buzzing noise too. It was VERY annoying and even made the noise when just sitting on the home page. I returned it and the second one is almost dead silent. Definitely return it if yours is making
a buzzing noise...

It's a constant noise not one that has breaks in it. A low pitched buzzing sound. Only goes away when a game is loaded.

The fan theory does make sense. But this does not sound like a noise a fan would make. It's more of a electrical buzz or whine if that makes any sense. Kind of like a old computer would sound when it was writing stuff on to the hard drive but just a bit
more intense and high pitched.

I was reading up on some forums and it seems that a lot of people have had this same issue specifically with kinect less versions of xbox one. It's supposedly the gpu making the noise when it's at a low power state and it seems many Xbox ones are affected.
