Mine is one of the loud ones, unfortunately. It makes a sound like wind blowing forcefully through a window when the system gets pushed. I am debating sending it in for repair.
Don't pay attention to the overall noise since the camera is quite close to the system. I can't hear the normal drone during gameplay. Listen for the "whoosh" of air at 1:18 and at 3:20.

Silent? No noise? I don't know if I buy that. I don't know how to upload and share a recording I did of mine at lunch with my phone inches from the machine but it does have a typical low fan cooling hum. I play with my sound low, have sensitive ears and can hear sitting way back on my couch. Again not saying anyone is lying but silent? The thing has to cool so a fan and electronics have to make some noise.
I have the Scorpio. I also notice the fan rev up and down occasionally when playing COD with full HDR and all.
Outside of when it's installing from a disc, mine makes practically zero noise, or at the very least so little noise that the tv overpowers it. Maybe when I get home I can try and record it.I said it before and say it again. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SILENT. If it is then I don't know what to believe anymore.
Yours sounds like mine basically> I was so close to doing an advanced exchange but decided to say no. I don't want to return a working scorpio for a refurbed unit which may not be a scorpio and possibly be damaged, scratched and worse than what I have.
Also thought about returning to Best Buy as I have until Tuesday but with it being opened I don't think I would get a refund and only an exchange for a non scorpio.
In the end, don't worry about it.
Cant hear it at all next to my HTPC that only has 1 120mm fan. Only system I have I can hear over it is my Pro.
Video recorded from my phone to capture how much coil whine and fan noise can be heard when near the Xbox One X. I started on the dashboard, then loaded Gears of War 4 (0:33), and finally muted the TV (1:20).

My Pro is in a similar unit, I find if I don't take it out the fans kick up. Outside of the tv unit it's pretty quiet.
and I couldn't hear anything from that video. and mainly due to the phone or video recording. wasn't very clear.

Dude . All of them has it. One game push it coil whine more Than others. Specially if it's enhanced game . Mine make a sound when it's on Halo 5 Main menu. But doesn't know gears and so on. It really depends on the game .

Coil whine isn't really a defect per say as long as you don't hear it while you are far from the console of tv sound is on.
Played this breathtaking AC straight for 4 hours..not a damnn sound, played Wolfie 2, same..it's scary sometimes how quiet it is..but most importantly, how Xbox team pulled this off for $500 hunnit.
The point is actually this.Simply not true. Coil whine while being most common in GPUs and PSUs that are being put under really heavy load while pushing out a lot of frames is not present in every copy. While it can be hard to combat it is very possible to make equipment that are virtually free from it. Even high-end gear that manages to spit out a couple of hundred frames in modern games. It is generally down to either bad luck, poor PCB design, cheap components or possibly faulty components where the whining is a sign of them dying.
I've had several PSUs and GPUs over at least 14 years where copies of the same brand and model were like night and day in this regard. Had to replace my old GTX 970s (from both msi, asus, gigabyte, evga) about four-five times before I got one w/o coil whine and boy was it worth it in the end. Most of them were shit even in a sound proofed chassis at rather low framerates.
Rule of thumb. As long as you only hear it while having your ear really close or actually up against the equipment in question it's ok. In short. Not all of them have it. They also come with it at varying degrees.
It's too bad there aren't a lot of exclusives for it. Most games available on it I have on PC.
Really itching to get one for all Halo games, but it's not really worth it just for those.
Sounds and seems like they really did a good job with One X. "Wolfie 2" on PS4 Pro made me want to throw the shit out of the window.
The point is actually this.
I play on a monitor, I sit maybe 70 cm from my console.
If I play with my headphones I cant hear a thing, of course. Problem is when I play with the stereo speakers of my monitor. I can clearly hear the buzzing sound of coil whine, especially with some games.
That is a problem I *never* had with my One S. The noise from that console was steady across all games, wasnt actually annoying at all. Much much less than any PS4/PS4P I ever had.
Some people just say its damn quiet, as of now my Pro is substantially less painful to hear than my X.
Thats the main point Ive been prefering Xbox across the generation. I will talk to MS, otherwise Im really not seeing myself playing that much on One X actually.
Can't hear mine unless I'm standing right next to it and the sound is off. I hear a swoosh of air come out every now and then though
Replacement console (advanced exchange) received today and left in the bin by UPS which is nice! Just setting it up but got sent a standard so now I have a Scorpio controller and box with a standard console but as long as its quiter and less like a jet fighter then all will be fine, got a few days to test it before I need to return it. Same creation date as the Scorpio Edition 3/9/17
Exactly the same here. Been on Microsoft chat and they are doing an Advanced Replacement. Judging by the briefness of the chat and the swift outcome, I would suggest that you do the same.
Your poor pro...My Pro is in a similar unit, I find if I don't take it out the fans kick up. Outside of the tv unit it's pretty quiet.
Honestly wish there was a way to force the fan to stay more active. Like to always be at 25% minimum when gaming, and scale up according temp. I prefer having control over my cooling.
Jesus, my X fan is very audible on Battlefront 2
Anyone else have similar issues on BF2?
Bf2 (I'm assuming battlefront 2) is the only game that makes my console fan a little audiable but it isn't every time.
What kind of setup you rocking?nah mines all the time after playing for like 20 minutes, strange thing is it will rev up and down now and again even when sitting on a menu screen
So now saying your console is quiet is being a fanboy?
What kind of setup you rocking?
In terms of where is the console placed?
Have it in a stacked entertainment center in laid down position, theres a good 3 inches space all around the console so ventilation shouldn't be an issue
