possibly defective xbox

Is it normal for the cooling fan on the xbox one s to make sort of a chirping sound like a slight rattle that is audible from a couple of meters away? I think my console might have a bad fan

Plz let me know so I can exchange it if need be.

I would say no.

The fan on the s should be very quiete/silent. My first s made a ticking sound so I returned it and the replacement is practiacally silent. The first could be heard over the TV from around 3m away.

Sounds like this is a common problem then?

The fan on my S was pretty much silent, although I do recall around the time of the console release people complaining about a noise as though the fan was catching on something.

I would get it replaced if it's noticeable/irritating because they don't all do it.
