2018 New Macbook Air Fan Noise

I just got the new 2018 MacBook air. It is a beautiful machine but with one very annoying issue that existed with the old MacBook air as well. The fan just continually spins up and makes a serious amount of noise. For there life of me I don't understand why. I went through all the steps including resetting the SMC but to no avail. I noticed the bird process taking ridiculous amount of processor, so I shut down iCloud. But the fan noise persists. Why after all these years hasn't apple resolved this problem? What else can I try?
