Xbox Series X makes a mechanical clicking noise on Boot

Hello thanks for responding,

When the surround speakers are off i still get the noise through my headphones, The headphones i use are jbl quantum 400 . When i got my xbox series x i didnt get the noise but 3 months later after i got it it started making those noises. Also I did not power off my xbox i used to fully shut down it from settings

My friend who plays with an xbox series x doesnt shut down it and he doesnt get the double sound when he clicks on games but he still doesnt get the sound when he goes back from home. Also when you open home and then go on a game from home and click more options on a game (from where you quit a game) then it starts making the right noises but when you shut down the xbox and power it on again it starts doing it again.



Thanks

Yes mine only makes the one click when I turn the console on too and it doesn't actually make the noise permanently.

I think I'll just keep an eye on it and see how it goes, thank you for the help!

Hi,

Yes that's the sound, I've tried putting a disc into the console and that seems to solve the issue but it does make the xbox considerably louder. How long have you had this problem for may I ask?

For me, it only makes the sound once just after I turn it on, but it never does it again. If you are saying that it's permanently making it, then that is weird and does need looking at. Apart from the first indicial pop, it's runs silently.

If you do send it back, they should be able to easily fix that issue, as it only sounds like the fan (easy swap out). They would only send a refurb unit if there were something wrong with the either circuit board.

If you don't want to send it back and it it's not that load, I wouldn't worry. I had a 2017 Xbox One X with a noisy fan and it's still going. Hasn't got any louder.

Hi WKY1

Are you referring to the click (or pop) noise that happens a few seconds after you turn it on?

If so, that perfectly normal and is actually the fan. If you glance in the top, you will see that fan slightly spins at the same time and then stops for a moment and then starts again.

My one does it to and has been from the start.

Oh right okay, thank you for the help!
