Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Is the power supply supposed to be louder than the Xbox?

Erm, it should be the opposite? The brick makes no noise and your Xbox should.

Or are we all just being trolled :P?

lol seriously, don't even mention the word troll.

The brick itself makes more noise than the 360 does. It starts off silent then gradually gets louder as I keep it on. I'm surprised at how quiet the new 360s are, but the power brick takes away any of that, because it's so loud. Hopefully the one I replace it with isn't the same.

don't connect that thing, sounds dangerous.



Yeah the power supply should not be making any noise at all. I would return that PSU and get it replaced.



i would return it. power bricks aren't suppose to make noises

When I said are we being trolled I mean as in are we all suckers falling for your joke? :)

You are the first person since the launch back in 2005 that I have ever seen mention this problem.

The powerbrick shouldn't be making any loud noise (I didn't even know it made a noise) and the Xbox should be making alot of noise (unless the game is installed to the hardrive).

If it's not a forum joke I seriously suggest you disconnect the power supply unit and return it. The shop you bought it from will most likely need the Console+hardrive and the Power supply unit, if it's to be swapped.

Unplug it!

It needs repairs, that thing is a bomb.

Ouch, recent video and some other people in comments have started to say it has started happening. May be a new thing. Then again you can't believe anything in the comment box on Youtube.

I didn't even know the powerbrick had a fan, I just haved my shoved behind my TV unit and subwoofer lol.

I'd just return it, if it gets louder the longer it is active it's probably overheating or it thinks it is.

if so unplug it. and return it. sound's that is a fire waiting to happen.

most likely  an unhappy capacitor.

also There was also a recall IIRC on the powerbrick on some earlier models becuase of a fire hazard.
