Hey everyone,

So I got my Xbox One S yesterday but when I powered it on I noticed a whining/slight hissing noise coming from the console. I have my Xbox under my desk but even so, the noise is still quite perceptible even over the fan when it is idling.

I did a Google search to see if anyone else is having an issue like this (if it even is an issue) but couldn't find anything. The only thing I can think of which is making this sound is coil whine or just the power supply itself. Either way it is quite irritating.

Here's a link to a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW0TrDgENyk

Thank you!

Don't have audio to watch your video but my XBone makes a high pitched whining noise (like coil whine) when it's been hot for awhile. Basically complaining that it's not getting enough cool air. I have mine in an entertainment center. with a USB fan to help circulate air but it still gets hot.
