MacBook M1 Pro Fan Always on High: Anyone Solved This Annoying Issue?

I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with my MacBook M1 Pro 2021. The fan runs constantly at a high noise level, even when I’m not doing any intensive tasks like video rendering. It starts spinning loudly as soon as I open a browser or visit websites.

This persistent noise has become so irritating that I had to invest in a separate display, keyboard, and mouse to avoid the constant fan noise.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? I’m sure many people must have faced this issue. Initially, I thought it might be due to overheating, but even after updating my software and ensuring everything is properly configured, the fan noise remains the same.

If anyone has a solution or has experienced a similar problem, I’d greatly appreciate your advice. It’s frustrating to deal with such a noisy fan on a device that was quite an investment.

Thank you!

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners, Bit Torrent, or a VPN that you installed yourself. They are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for virus-like patterns in Everything, or looking for files that have changed. When completed, they do it all again.

Are you running ant of those?

are you running Chrome Browser, the most resource-hungry common application that is not obvious malware?
