Hi,

Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has a 360 PSU (175w) that makes a slight whistling sound when it's in standby?

Mines being doing it since I got my 175w 360 back in Feb and I've not really thought about it until today...I must be bored!

Could it be a fault? The whistling stops completely when I start the 360 up and for the record my launch xbox's PSU was fine.
 
I strongly advise against using power supply units (this applies to any units, not just Xbox 360 ones) that are behaving abnormally - especially if it's making noises. There's a potential electrical and fire risk there. See if you can replace it.
 
My 360 psu clicks every now and again, usually soon after turning it off, though occasionally when it's on standby.

I always wondered what the noise was, until I got a large screen tv and moved the 360 from the pc to the tv, and noticed the clicking come from the other side of the room! It's always done it, no problems at all in actual use, just the random clicking once every few weeks or so!

Click to expand...

Yeah, my PSU clicks as does my 360 and I think, my TV now and again. I've always put it down to the heat generated making the plastic expand and then again when it cools down when you switch everything off.
