You can make the Xbox Series X a lot less noisy now

techradar.com:

The new Xbox Series X update, which rolled out yesterday, includes a number of options to mute all system sound effects. It's perfect for those who may have auditory sensitivities or have grown sick of their Xbox making blips and wooshes when navigating the dashboard. You can even mute notification popup sounds.

If you’d like to turn off some of these noises, head to Settings > Volume & audio output > Additional options. From here, you can choose to mute navigation and notification sounds or pick between the two. You can also enable Mono output and choose to have the audio automatically mute when a headset is attached – an incredibly useful feature that was previously exclusive to PS5 and PS4. 

These settings can also be accessed by heading to Settings > Accessibility > Audio and ticking your preferred options. If you’ve ever wanted to shush your Xbox Series X, then these settings will let you do just that.
