Fan noise Macbook Pro 16" (2019)

The fan noise under normal usage or light load on the 2019 macbook pro 16" is unacceptable.

Videocalls on Teams? – Fans ramp up, completely destroying meeting quality. Best stay muted...
Using Chrome and Youtube – Fans ramp up, best use your ANC headphones to enjoy video.
Adobe CC background update – Fans ramp up, laptop practically on fire.
Connect an external display – Fans on high speed ALL THE TIME and computer running super hot.

+4000 USD invested in this machine.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Please tell me there is a fix from Apple coming?

It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility.

And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and

the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
