Xbox One: AC adapter is noisy - what to do?

In order to operate your Xbox One, you must connect it to the power using the power adapter. If the power supply is very loud, this indicates an overvoltage. Appropriate solutions can be found here in this practical tip.

Xbox One's power supply is noisy - you can do that

We have summarized the following tips so that you can operate your game console safely again:

• First, make sure that all fans of the console and the power supply are exposed and not blocked.
• If the fans are blocked, fresh air will not enter the system, which can lead to failure.
• You should also avoid direct heat radiation - for example from heaters, amplifiers or cookers.
• Use only the supplied power adapter and make sure that it is shown for your country, as there may be voltage differences.
• Often a power supply can be noisy due to overvoltage protection or a multiple socket. Therefore, connect the plug directly to an electrical outlet.
• Other electronic devices in the immediate vicinity of the power supply can also be responsible for the loud noise.
• If you cannot eliminate the noise with these tips, there may be a defect and you should replace the power supply. To do this, contact Microsoft Support.
