    Same with mine at times, you can probably blame it on having smaller fans that need to run at a higher rpm to keep the console cool, which is why the Xbox One has that 100mm exhaust fan on the top of it.

    Mine is usually fine but InFamous really seemed to tax it.
    There's a trick where you prop it up on a small coin which is supposed to help:

    Its fairly loud on some games I notice and whisper silent on others, TLOU and BF4 seems to tax my launch day one a good bit bit is virtually silent on Tomb Raider, Fifa and Assassins Creed, make sure there is enough air flow at the back as that's where most of it comes from....

    That sounds wrong alright. Mines grand, but after an hour of killzone it sounds like one of the first xbox 360s-loud ! Funnily enoigh no issues like that with wolfenstien, its quiet enough all the time.
