[Tech] Xbox startup sound

In one of the recent updates, MS has changed the One so it makes the sound when the system is turned on - whether you press the button or turn it on with the controller. You used to be able to turn it on / off with the controller without hearing the sound .

I've searched everywhere and can't find any way to turn it off - does anyone have an idea?

I've got the Forza Xbox One and it makes the most annoying "revving" sound to turn on and off and it's waking up my family. It's honestly making me consider trading in my One for a standard version so it's only the beep I hear.

You need to be sure to provide Feedback about it or it isn't going to happen.

If enough Preview testers leave Feedback about it, it can happen. If no-one does, it won't. Have you done your part?

Honestly didn't know the special edition consoles had a different start up sound. Why not just mute your TV/sound system until it starts up when your family is still asleep?

It comes from the system itself.

Ohh, that sucks. A drastic measure could be to open it up and disconnect the system speaker.

Actually that's worth looking into, cheers.
