    Xbox One X disc drive noise level


    Hello,

    I just got my xbox one x a few days ago (I've had one s, one, all the 360's, and the original) and holy
    [Mod Removed - Profanity] is this thing noisey!!! It sounds like I'm burning a disk on a 2004 PC the optical drive is so loud it's almost overpowering my tv audio. Is this normal? I read some people having issues with fan noise but i domt hear
    the fans at all. And before you ask, it happens with or without a disc. Even when youre just on the main menu screen and has since the second i started it up. I get it when youre downloading a disc but jesus if this continues I don't know if I'm going to be
    able to keep this thing...

    :)

    Disc drives malfunctioning in Xbox One units

    I just read an article that says Microsoft is acknowledging faulty disc drives in some Xbox One units. Some people are having a problem with the drive making a grinding noise and not reading the disc, so if you have this problem, you're not alone!

    Xbox One X disc drive noise level

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for your post! If there is a lot of mechanical noise coming from your console, then it may have an issue with either one of the fans since there is not disc in the console. Sometimes a bearing can go bad and cause these sounds. Check out our

    Device Support
    page for service options and warranty information for your console.

    I hope this helps, thanks again.

    Question concerning Xbox one x disk drive

    Hi there,

    We understand your concern of the noise your disc drive makes on occasion when inputting discs in to play. I'd be happy to provide some information.

    Generally, we want to put the disc in at the same level as the Xbox and slowly to let the disc drive take the disc and insert into it's position where it will spin and have an optical laser read the disc. If for whatever reason the angle you insert the disc
    causes the disc drive to insert the disc in the incorrect position, the noise generally comes from the disc hitting the sides or being impeded by something internally.

    I suggest either moving the Xbox to a higher level, or get down to the level the disc drive is in and insert the disc straight in. If the console continues to make noise when inserting the disc, then you will need to send in your Xbox for repair. This article
    helps with going through the repair process if needed:

    Xbox One X disc drive to loud to be used as an UHD Bluray player

    It's normal unfortunately 4k uhd discs have to spin faster than normal blu ray so the noise is the disc drive most of the 4k uhd blu ray players have a similar problem it's infuriating during quite scenes.

    You can either put your xbox in a cabinet to reduce the noise or I bought a pioneer udp lx 500 as the disc drives are soundproofed but there hefty and there not cheap but they do have a noticeably better picture than the xbox one x.

    My Xbox 360 S makes a loud buzzing noise when game is in.

    Hey there Abyss! On the noise issue, we recommend installing the games to the HDD. That way it won't have to spin the disc as much, reducing noise and extending the life of your drive.

    In regards to your disc scratches, please make sure the console is being stored on a level and secure surface and that no one is moving or bumping the console while a game disc is spinning. Let me know if this helps, thanks!
