Hello everyone. First time posting here. I have this xbox series x 1tb for about 2-3 years i think.

It was working fine until this past weekend I noticed a deep groaning noise on startup.
Then the next day it started making the noise above while playing.

It is extremely loud.

I have taken it apart and cleaned the inside (hardly dusty) and removed the fan to clean that as well. But it still makes that noise.
There was no debris or loose looking parts that i could see.

Has anyone had this same issue and did you find a fix? Or should i just trade it in and get a new one.

Thank you if you reply with help!
