What sounds can you hear when you turn on your Xbox late at night? Probably a loud animated Xbox logo, especially if you've turned up the volume on a TV app earlier in the day. 

Thankfully, Microsoft has heard your cries—over the cacophony of their own Xbox consoles, no doubt—and is introducing a feature that will completely muffle startup sounds. You will be able to change the Xbox swoosh to a shoosh, yes. The option of a silent starting is already accessible to Xbox system software testers in Microsoft's Alpha test ring, so everyone else will probably adopt it within the next month. 

Microsoft announced in a new blog post on impending system software upgrades, "We have added a new option which allows you to minimize startup sounds." Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output > Additional settings to access it. 

A revamped game library, noise cancellation for voice chat, and the option to customize the color of your Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 central button LED were among the elements of the company's most recent update for all Xbox owners that were verified by the business yesterday.
