Hey guys! I see a few of you have had repairs done and are still experiencing the noise. I am so sorry to see that is the case. If you received a console from us that still has the noise, please send me a private message (you can see the instructions how in the verified post above).
Keep on sending me the serial numbers as stated above! I am logging all of that and passing it along to the proper teams. Please keep setting up repairs as this is the best way to get rid of the noise your console creates. To keep the clutter with these verified posts to a minimum, this will be the last one I verify.
Once again, we very much appreciate your patience with us and are very grateful for the information you have passed on!
Original Xbox: Needed a worldwide power supply replacement because of bad soldering.
Xbox 360: RROD fun
Xbox One: Makes weird loud noises
This fucking company!
Got my replacement Xbox beack today (new one, no repair). Still got the problem, thanks, Microsoft -_-
Just received my Xbox today and it has a scratching sound when not playing games. I can also hear it in standby scratching, ticking and sometimes squeaking. Very weird.
If you disable the "instant on", it'll be quiet when you turn it off.
Since mine is in my bedroom, I can't use instant on, or I'd never get any sleep.
A handful of people saying the October update is fixing the issue (I seriously doubt it would) can anybody shoot me an invite? (gamertag: attack slug)

It fixed mine mate. Very silent now.
Sounds good. Do we know when the update will be available for non-beta users?
I was thinking of buying an Xbox One tomorrow, are the Kinect versions still considered safe? Was considering getting the Kinect anyways.
I just meant safe as in not having to do an exchange, I hadn't been keeping up with the issue, so I was just making sure. Didn't want to be worried on the trip home from GAME.Why would they be unsafe? The Kinectless version was the noisy one, and now the noise issue is fixed if you're in the preview. For those not in the preview it'll be fixed in a week or so I guess.

I'm still debating on when to send mine in.
I'm sending mine in when they get a reliable fix, assuming the update doesn't fix it.
How do you get invites for the preview program anyway?

You should also put news about the latest preview fix as well. I think the issue will be gone completely in a week.Is it? Been too busy to bother with mine. Ill put this in the OP.

I really want to get an Xbone but I'm not sure what's worse: waiting for another price drop/bundle before Christmas or waiting for this #xboxnoise problem to go away. :/
They have closed the thread on the xbox forum without any reason whatsoever....
This fucking company, I swear.
I'm sure the reasoning is "don't talk about the preview program"
Hope this is a non-issue by the time I get one later this year. I actually sold the 2nd 360 I owned because the noise was too loud/annoying (even tried to modify the hardware, replace the fans etc to see if it would fix it but nope). Sold that one off, and used the money to buy a new one that was really quiet.And I do get really annoyed by the noise this seems to be making. At least it's not happening while playing games though so if I do get one like that maybe I'll be able to deal with it.
Looks like the Update preview did fix my noise issue, too. Pretty awesome.
EDIT: Wait, it's still making noise, nevermind. Unless it hasn't installed yet, my status is 'EnrollPending' apparently.
Yeah, that wasn't the update, you just installed the preview app. Now you have to wait until they accept you into the preview program.
When does the update go live? Cause I have this issue too
October sometime mate
Maybe earlier considering the September update came out in August.
