Xbox One S making humming noise while Off, normal?

Hi! I noticed today that my Xbox One S is making this humming noise while the console is Off, like an electric sort of noise, and no, I do not have Instant On enabled. Is this normal? I can only hear it while really close to the console so it is not
something that is going to be annoying, I was just wondering if it is normal or not?

Xbox One S making humming noise while Off, normal?

Hi I also have the same buzzing I've got the battlefield 1 Xbox one s is this a problem that needs to be sorted., ? Thanks.

It's completely normal, even when Xbox One S is completely turned off. Same thing is happening with two other consoles my friends own, and exactly the same thing is happening with my other console, PS4 Glacier White. I've checked other people's PS4s (3 other
units), and they all do the same. It's low whining noise, can't hear it unless you stick your ear to the fan grill at the top of the Xbox One S unit. If you're annoyed by that, you can always unplug your unit from the wall plug when it's not in use.

It's completely normal and harmless, it's called Coil Whine. BTW, my unit was produced July 4th 2016.

None of my PS4’s The normal or Pro produce this noise. But my Minecraft Xbox One Edition. And it’s annoying.

Hi, I 've bought a xbox one S fifa 17 a few days ago.

I've got the same problem.

When the xbox one s is off i can hear a small noice coming from the back

Of the xbox one where the alimentation cable is connected. i hear it when i'm close to it.

Mine is also on 'economy saving'.

The xbox works nicely but normally when a machine is off, it don't make noice.

When i first put the xbox one s on I choosed 'quickly starting'

Is it possible thats it's due to this choice?

Do i have to deinstall and re install everything with the choice 'economy save'?

Do i have to take the paramèters back to défault and start the first installation again?

My xbox one s is on a surge protector.

Is it possible that this is the cause of that noice, interference??

I tried on a main plug, and it's the same noice when off.

Is it wrong for the xbox one S to un -plug it totally every time after play.

I've called assistance in Belgium, they are not aware off the problem.

Theirs nothing wrong with using a surge protector my X1 has been hooked up to one since its been unboxed its just not a required item I'm only here to provide helpful tips and sometimes they fix the problem my tips are not guarenteed fixes.

Thank You for understanding

This is just the power supply giving the console enough power for it to start back up, But However if it tends to get louder un-plug the console and call Xbox Support as your xbox could become a risk for a surge it is best to try a surge protecter and see
if the noise will not be their anymore. But I assure you it's fine unless it's a louder Buzzing,Clanking, ECT...

Hopefully you found my answer useful. Happy Gaming!
