Why?will the software reset actually stop the coils from vibrating? Omg, what is your profession? Do you even understand what i am talking about? By the way did it already but for other reason not coil whine! I guess you next suggestion is to call or contact support and job is done for the day

Hello, I understand your question about requesting the exchange of your video game, I have an xbox series x, and there is coil whine in it. I have in mind that this vibration of the coils is something extremely normal, my xbox one had this noise, and never presented any problem, depending on your console, the vibration may be more intense or not. If you request the exchange, the chance of receiving another console with coil whine is extremely high, but keep in mind that coil whine is not a defect, several devices have this vibration, such as computer components (Graphics cards or PSU), in my opinion I would not request an exchange, unless the vibration is very high and bothers you.

In case you have noticed this sound before, you may not have noticed it or the frequencies of your electrical network have changed and it affected the vibrations of the console, I really would not worry.

Hey Devilchildz, how are you today? Hope you're well.

Devilchildz, depending on the noise, indeed could be coil whine, if it doesn't affect the performance of your console, then probably is, my Series X also from time to time presents coil whine sounds as well.

No worries, that's normal.
