So I got the xbox one without kinect today, and it started to make a weird noise once I turned it on.
It sounds like the fan is hitting something or maybe the hard drive, and the weird part is that it goes away when playing games.
Only time the noise comes is when Im on dashboard, netflix or anything except games.
What to do? I ordered it from gamestop for release date, which is today where I live and it was brand new.

Update:
This is a pretty big problem, and it's growing.
Take a look at this topic: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
It was made in August and already got 36 pages, a total of 540 replies.
And most of these people got the same as me, a kinectless xbox including forza/fifa and got it between june-september.
And you should also search up #xboxnoise on twitter, its insane..
Many people have been replacing it multiple times and still got the same noise on each of them.

Yeah that is a issue with some of them. Microsoft have been replacing them though if they have issues like that.

Thanks for the help guys, it's pretty annoying.
I have to turn the volume so high when I'm watching netflix to avoid the noise.

I'll probably send it back for a fix soon, but I didn't expect this to happen to a next gen console so long after launch date..
And it had to happen now when so many great games are coming out right..?

I tired to do that, I called Gamestop and he said that he couldn't help me, and told me to call microsoft instead.
Which is kinda frustrating, since I got it from them 3 days ago and he seemed to not care at all.

Defective consoles are a thing next gen or not. Best thing to do is call MS while your system is still under warranty. They should get it replaced.

I will, thanks. I'm calling them today, hopefully they'll replace it instead of repairing it since I need to wait longer for it then I guess.
