Why Is My Xbox Series X Making a Loud Noise?
It could be the placement of your console. Make sure it's in a well-ventilated area with enough space around it. Cramped spaces can make the fan work harder and get louder.

Get your Xbox checked if the noise persists. Electrical issues can cause weird sounds. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Sounds like your Xbox Series X might need a good dusting! Sometimes dust accumulation causes the fans to work overtime and get noisy. Give it a clean and see if that helps.
My Xbox Series X got pretty loud too! Turned out I had placed it too close to a wall, blocking some vents. Try moving it to a less crowded spot.
Honestly, some noise is normal, especially when playing demanding games. But if it鈥檚 a sudden loud noise, check for obstructions and dust.
