Xbox One X making weird buzzing noise

T H I C C INCH · Aug 25, 2018

My One X has been making an odd buzzing/whirring noise on the right side when playing games. I'll attach the video to watch, raise your volume up but depending on how loud you go it may sound worse than what I actually hear. I have to put my ear close to
the system to hear it but I'm posting this to ask if it's a hard drive issue or what exactly. Especially around the 0:20 mark you can hear the fan cut out and the buzzing is still present.

It only appears when playing a game, after quitting out of the game the noise goes away. Thing is all my games are loaded onto an external hard drive so I'm not sure if it would actually be the main internal HDD.

Xbox One making a weird buzzing/scratching noise

My Xbox one is making a weird Buzzing/Scratching noise when I play Dead Rising 3. This is weird because the console runs silently and smoothly when my other two games FIFA 14 and Assassins Creed: IV

Would any of you know why its making this noise exclusively for Dead Rising 3. I've checked for scratches and nothing, I've turned the system on and off unplugged the console nothing.

What do?

Hello. To me sounds like a normal sound when mechanical HDD are working... do you experiment any issue? Broken mechanical HDD sounds like a click.... click.... click and fi this happen probably games will not work, even the operative system. Doesnt look
like anything wrong...

It's the original version... My Xbox makes 2 weird buzzing noises when it tries to read the disc then it just says open tray.

What kind of "weird noises" are? Is that whistle, or is it buzzing? If its just buzzing, propably your xbox is reading the gmae disk.
