Xbox series x fan noise

or it could be the fact we are now in summer and the ambient temps are a lot higher.

So usually when I play on my series s the fan makes a loudish noise....

The Series S, just like the Series X is designed to be quite, in normal gaming (even when play X|S optimised games) the Series S fan should not be audible. It should be pretty much silent.

Have you changed the location of where your console is located? These consoles get warm (hot even), this is normal. So their location is actually more important than hearing the fan spinning.

Okay, thanks for the help! I am probably going to send it to repair
