Is it as bad as this video??
Xbox 360 support does seem to have much info just says make sure its on a flat surface

if you have a hard drive installing the games to the drive realy does cut down on the noise levels

I had this problem shortly before I got the 3 red lights for the second time. It sounded like a boy racers car ticking over. I'd check to see is it still in warranty & then give microsoft a call.

You got it for Christmas? As a matter of interest, whats the power supply.... 12.1A? Hardly is a jasper if its giving you problems already.

i duno y2j,im stil using the old power brick from the 1st 1,i never had a chance to keep the original power brick as the brother sold the old xbox and new power brick before i got a chance to swap them over

honeybadger

tink im after sorting it out lads,i went to chech out the power supply the other day and it was loose at the brick end so i squeeze it back in again and it running fine again,not a bother on it now,no unsual noise or anyting happy days again

Hmmm. Wouldnt have thought a lose cable would be the cause of the noise. But hey if its stopped happy days:D:D:D..(Until it happends again that is)
