Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm sure we can help you out with your question, or at least get you pointed in the right direction. If you have questions or concerns about your MacBook Air when running multiple applications, you may find the following articles on how to read and evaluate system performance metrics helpful:
Use Activity Monitor on your Mac - Apple Support
Apps can affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support
You may also find this article about fan behavior and cooling useful. Note that how and where you use your portable Mac can also affect the cooling, and therefore the fan speed (since you noted that it was running "loud"). In particular, make sure that you are using your MacBook Air on a hard surface where it can get adequate airflow all around the bottom case:
