Macbook fans

I just got the new 2020 Macbook air and the fans on my computer are so loud. Is there anyway to make the fans less noisy while I using my computer for work?

Why is my Macbook Air fan so loud? Hello, I bought a new Macbook Air 2020 (16GB Ram, i5 - 4 cores, 512GBSSD) and am very disappointed by the noise of the fan. When I am running Chrome with one window, it is okay, but if I turn a few more windows or apps on, the fan starts to be very noisy. Cannot imagine if I start to edit the pictures in Photoshop, its gonna be like a helicopter I guess. I didn't pay more then 2.000 USD to be disrupted by such a noise. I have the feeling the prices of Apple products are getting higher, higher, and higher but the performance stays the same. Really, deeply disappointed. Does anyone have similar experience? Do you know how is it possible to avoid this fan noise? Thank you Vojtech [Edited by Moderator]

It's not necessarily abnormal for a new Mac to do that. Refer to this Discussion.
