Macbook pro 16 hissing sound

Hi i just got my macbook pro 16 inch last week and since i had it, the laptop has been heating up rather quickly with just some light browsing like netflix or just reading my emails . And whenever I put my mac to sleep and charge it, a loud hissing sound coming out from i presume its the fans ramming up and my mac just turns on by itself even though the screen is down.

Anyone has any solution or faces similar problems? I am a new macbook user and should this 'issues' be a concern or is it just normal ? Btw i am using a i9 , 16gb of ram and 1TB storage.

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15
