Xbox One X freezing and making high buzz noise

sX Luu · Oct 6, 2018

Bought my Xbox one X 2 months ago, I was playing FIFA yesterday and the console froze 3 times in less then 30 minutes, sending me back to the dashboard, I ALREADY did all the troubleshooting, HARD RESET, FACTORY RESET, REMOVING ACCOUNTS, and this is still
happening in all my games...

Strange noise coming from Xbox one

So I just picked up my X box a few days ago and it's making a strange printer like noise when at the dashboard. It only makes the sound when either updating a game or sitting at the dashboard. When I put in a game the noise disappears. The noise is not very
loud just concerning. when I first got the console there would be a one second interval between buzzes and when doing game updates. Now today the buzz/static noise has turned into constant buzz(No updates running).Again it's not very loud you have to be really
close to it to hear it. I hear it's either coil wine or an Xbox connect issue. Should I return it and get a new one or will this happen with the next console?

Switch your Xbox to Power Save mode, then do a Power Cicle on your Xbox and see If It Works. If It doesn't work, I suggest You to become an Xbox Insider If You are not one, so you will get a new update that may solve your problem, if you're an Xbox Insider
so you should report this bug

HEllo sX Luu,

Sorry to hear about the issue that you're dealing with.

None of that is supposed to happen.

If you have already done a full factory reset, then it might be that there is something wrong with your console hardware wise.

If that's the case, I would suggest either trying to take the console back to the retailer you bought it from, or create a repair order for your console on our

device support website so that Microsoft can get that fixed for you.

Let us know how this information helped in resolution of the issue

Thanks!

I'll get the occasional freeze on the One and the X and they both make a loud buzzing sound when they freeze.

This is normal along with the buzzing noise do not be concerned about it damaging your Xbox at all. Certain games are more prone to freeze then others. I've experienced freezing and the buzzing noise that sounds horrendous hundreds of times and no damage
has been caused to my system or anything hooked up for it. Continue to game on with no concern.

Printer like noise?

A quiet clicking/ticking type noise will be normal hard drive noise.

But it's hard to tell if the buzzing noise is normal unless you can hear it.

Do you have any way of putting it on youtube or something?

Also do you have Kinect?

There were threads about Kinectless Xboxes making a high pitched hum. You could try searching the forums for one of these threads.
