Xbox Noise Reduction: How to Make Your Xbox Quieter

Just like every teenage boy in the world, my son likes playing video games.

Sometimes he would play that for so long, that his console would start overheating and the fan would start buzzing so loudly, that we couldn’t even hear the sound of the game on the TV.

Well, there is no pleasure in playing a game, and all you can hear is the sound of the console’s fan and the anxiety that it will soon go into the flames from overheating.

And so we tried a few tricks and found our solution.

Hopefully, these few tricks will bring peace to your family as well.
