Xbox Series X Coil Whine

Here is second video. Maybe this is normal or I am too oversensitive about that noise. When I am sitting on couch this sound does not exist for me.

Okay, I have just dug out my headset as that allows me to hear things my stereo doesn't pick up.

I think, and that's all I can say with any certainty, I heard some coil whine in both videos.....however, given I can barely detect it (assuming that's what I can hear) using my headset on full, I wouldn't, personally, be too concerned about it.

I can't hear anything abnormal in that video, even with my stereo turned up to maximum..then again, all I can hear is the sound of you moving around etc.

I would say that the Series X does pretty much run silent...I don't hear mine at all when it's on.

Coil whine is always a possibility with anything with some sort of graphics card in it. However, it's possible it is the fan rather than the GPU

Edit: Another question to ask is does it get worse when you are playing games? Especially intense graphics games?

Yes, like all electronic devices, they all emit a noise, no matter how small.

It runs on power, so power goes through the device.

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Morswinn, All electronic devices emit a noise (coil whine) as electrical energy passes through the device.

It even has an internal source, which receives and normalizes this energy, so it's perfectly normal to hear a very low energy noise.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Depending on the game or function you use, more energy is demanded by the console and the noise can diversify.

It will only be a console problem if the console turns off.
