Maybe they have no idea how they fixed it themselves.
With my luck, I'm probably stuck with a noisy Xbox, even after the update.
Good idea.

This was the noise I had when I got a launch xbox, I'm taking it that is different (sounds it in the videos), still wonder if that could've been fixed by software update but damn it got loud as soon as I launched a game.

Got mine yesterday, the replacement Xbox does not have the noise-problem. But the blu-ray-drive seems to be extremly slow.
Quite interesting: On the bottom of the console there is a different label. Besides the fact, that there is no MFR date but a service date instead, the watt-hour numbers are completly different:
My "old" one said "Consumo de energia 180,0 wH" and "Consumo de energia en modo de espera 20 wH". On the replacement box the labels says "Consumo de energia 90,0 wH" and "Consumo de energia en modo de espera 1,5 wH". I'm going to measure the engergy consumption this evening.

My console also has this issue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOpxpVLbPFg&feature=youtu.be .
The problem only occurs if console is put in Instant-On mode and turned off.
I don't have this problem if I turn off xbox while in Energy-saving mode, unless I unplug it and then plug it in again.

The October update may have been updated and applied in that time which can fix it in some cases it would seem
That's only if you're in the preview beta though, right? He most definitely is not. Unless there was a mini patch before the big patch hits?

Yeah I think it''s only in the October Preview so I guess something else fixed it

I got a replacement that made a noticeable ticking noise, so I sent it back in.

You won't have to send it in if you bought 12 hours ago, take it back and exchange it.

'Coil whine'? Funny name. Hope everyone concerned has their problems fixed.
If its a flaw in all the kinectless units whats the point?

I'm not sure if there's a definite flaw, my Xbox One doesn't have Kinect and it's fine.
Sorry, I was under the impression it was a majority of units. Ill most likely just go exchange it then, thanks for the advice!
Edit: Just set up the new one, so much quieter. The guy tried to tell me every Xbox makes that noise and I was wasting my time.

I think a lot of them do make the noise without the October Preview. I imagine once this update goes live we won't really hear about the issue anymore.
While I still have xbox noise, I just turned off the the "instant on" feature, as that was my main source of annoyance... making noise while it was "off."
Of course, it makes noise idle in the menus, but when playing games, it goes away. I lose suspend, but meh whatever. I don't really feel like going through and go through the replacement lottery.

Now I'm experiencing other sounds, coming from the optical drive. My One is deadsilent when there is no disc in the optical drive. As soon as I insert a disc, the system is getting louder - even when I disable "Autostart": The console gets louder even if the disc is not used.
Can anyone confirm that the drive produces a louder sound when a disc is inserted even if this disc is not played?

Is there any word as to when the Oct update rolls out publicly? I just recently got an Xbox with FH2 and the noise it makes with or without a disc in is insane! Really hope that it does indeed fix the problem.

I hope to hear more about the update. I want to buy the white SKU, but not while it is having these issues.
Same here. Noise is gone, but the fans are louder as they were before. But still a good trade . The sound my Xbox made when turning off was like its going to burst into flames . My Ps4 is much more silent, but the fans are less annoying compared to the noise. Maybe the next update will turn the fans a bit down.

Also fixed the noise issue for me!
Haven't experienced any extra fan noise though. Is this only during gameplay?

I think it might just be a case of me just noticing the fan noise more now that the buzzing has stopped.

Just picked up the SS Overdrive bundle and while there is no loud coil whine I'm hearing a faint scratching noise. Sounds like the console is constantly reading the harddrive. Anyone hearing anything similar?
Pretty sure mine does this too. Not sure if it's normal though.

Dug around youtube to find normal hard drive noise and found that my system falls into that normal range. Guess it's nothing to worry about.

Sorry for the double post but would like some more input on how everyone's hard drive sounds during gameplay. Here is a link of how mine sounds. The video is titled normal but I've never heard this from any console or laptop I've owned.

I recently bought an Xbox One but havent opened it yet, still under the return period.
Wondering if I should just return it and buy from Microsoft store since they are apparently handing out extended warranties for free when you buy an 1 year Live card .. I have had three 360s broke on me and I quit that system which is why I'm a little bit wary.

This is the exact same sound as my white Sunset OD console. Only hear it during gameplay, not using apps or watching TV. But this noise sounds like the hard drive video I posted. Is it just the brand of hd Microsoft uses?

Just bought a kinectless x1 and the second turned it on it sounded like my old elite 360.
10 minutes later, post update and it's gone.
