Series X has a loud squeaking and whirring sound every time it’s on.

[sour crystal]

I need a bit of help. When I turn my Xbox on, it starts like squeaking and like chirping for some reason, then when I unplug it, it stops. I don’t know how to fix it, I left it unplugged all night last night and it kept doing it again. Please help

is it squeaking like a dog toy?

[sour crystal]

No just loud chirping beeping noise I gues

[quasi ingot]

more like a crack?

[sour crystal]

no

[keen hare]

have you had any issues powering the console on lately?

[sour crystal]

no

[keen hare]

it could either be caused by your fan at the top of your xbox or the power supply is going bad.

How do I fix the fan problem

[keen hare]

if the fan is making the noise you will have to buy a new fan or use a can of air duster to clean it. try cleaning it first to see if the issue resolves.

u cant buy a new fan. its a console. they dont sell parts like a pc

[keen hare]

i just searched it up you can get a new fan

but i let them know to clean it first before spending money

[deft birch]

u cant take apart a console. and replace the fan without breaking TOS

[keen hare]

oh yes right my bad. I stand corrected.

you can still get one but yes it will break TOS

I also experience these chirping sounds from my Xbox. I usually get it when I first start up my Xbox. If you find out a response that helps, please let me know
