Macbook Pro 2019 Fan Noises

How do I get rid of the fan noise on my Macbook Pro 2019. I have invested in a stand so the laptop is raised but I noticed that my mac gets hot and makes a lot of noise. How can I resolve this?

Hi IamAH,


thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We can definitely understand the fan making noises would be a cause for concern. Usually this means that there is some graphic intense process happening and the fan is working hard to cool your Mac down. Have you checked out this article: Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures.


You can use the Activity Monitor to check the CPU activity and determine if something is higher than it should be: View energy consumption in Activity Monitor on Mac.


Also, you can try resetting the SMC of your Mac to see if this continues.

Hope that helps.
