I know your talking XB1, but the fan brands that go into the consoles have been similar over the years. XB hasn't used blower fans before, so with XB1X having one, it's quite possible they are using one or more of the same brand/type of fan that PS4 is using. I've never had or heard of this problem before the PS4 1200 series, so it's possible it's a potential design flaw with that specific type of fan, or just bad batches. It also could very well be coil whine, especially if you say it happens more so under load and not while the console is idling on the home screen. Since XB1X is XB1X, I would suggest taking it back and trying another one and hope for the best. If it happens again, well at least you tried, and apparently you can live with it. I didn't bother taking mine back knowing the odds were good I would end up with the same issue, so I didn't bother. I'm not sure how wide spread the issue is for XB1X, but if it's small, I'd consider trying another. Just my two cents.
