Xbox One Weird Fan Noise

I have exchanged it with another XBOX and now the noise is gone. Just had bad luck probably.

 

Glad that you changed it successfully!

I still don't know when mine will be back!

 

I have this issue too. Ugh. I kind of hoped they would do a door step swap with a new console - I really don't want to be without a console at the launch of Halo. What to do...

 

Took my faulty Sunset bundle to the MS store for an exchange. Luckily they had one left. The new one does not make the cricket noise anymore and is very quiet.

 

My xbox was working fine then one day it just starting making this loud noise no matter what i did play games, sit on the dash etc, sounds like all the recording you can here online at the mo.

Spoke to support and they said it wasn't right and if i send it off they will send me a new one. So that was cool but.....after sending it off i noticed online that it was down for repair so i messaged them again and told them what the other support worker
told me and i showed them the transcript of the chat, they wouldn't do anything so i asked to speak to a manager to cut a long story short the arranged for my xbox to be sent back then i could arrange a advanced exchange.

Well its come back today, in a new box etc. Its the same one and ive plugged it in, well it works and its dead quiet for now woo hoo!!

What they did i don't know. they must of done something as it was all reset and i had to start from scratch. There is a letter just saying sorry for any inconvenience and gave me 1month free xbox live.

This isn't a complaint im just happy to have my xbox back. I will say the only time i hear the noise is when installing a game so to me that means its a HDD fault or disk drive.

So to all of you how have the noise get it looked at or take your xbox back to the shop what ever is easier for you!

Fingers crossed you get it sorted and i hope my xbox lasts now.

 

I've had this same issue. It was lower a few months ago (the noise) then it went away over time, and with recent updates It's back with a vengeance. I'd hate to go without a X1 during the next two months so I'm just going to wait it out. Probably wait it
out as long as possible considering I use a headset so I can't hear the noise at all with my headset on, but can hear it at low volume in the house without a headset.

 

I have the sunset bundle and am experiencing the same! Suggested solution? Did MS fix the issue via sending in for repair?

 

Hey everyone!

Sorry to hear about the console noise, I can definitely understand how frustrating that could be. I recommend trying trying a few troubleshooting steps to see if we can get this issue sorted.

Please give the following steps a try:

• First, make sure your console is placed horizontally on a flat, stable surface.
  
• Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 10 seconds.
• Once your console is powered off, unplug the power cord.
• Wait 5 minutes and then plug in your console.
• Power on your console and check to see if the issue continues.

If the issue continues to occur you may need to have your console repaired. You can set up a repair through our Online Service center or from our Contact
Us page. Feel free to post back letting us know how everything went!
