Macbook pro (m4 pro, 24gb) making noise and getting hot

if you would like some help trying to find the issue(s):

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by a senior contributor here, and uses mostly system calls and simple tests to collect often-needed information.

it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.

if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.

Use Etrecheck Pro for free:

The amount of data you get can be daunting. If you POST your report, some Readers here are willing to look over those reports, and can provide valuable insights.

Then start a reply of the forums, click the 'additional text' Icon, and PASTE

When it happens, run Activity Monitor to see what process(es) is/are taxing your system.

I went to the Apple Store again and they said it is fine and they returned it.

If it is a hardware issue take it back in— and go from there. Obviously the issue is not resolved.

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

The media analysis daemon appears to be the culprit. It’s analyzing images for object and text recognition. There are ways to shut it down, but not for the fainthearted. I’ve never seen that level or resource utilization on my M4 Pro MBP (and photography is a hobby, I have ~300 GB of images on my SDD).

If you just restored your Mac, it needs to reindex all the files for Spotlight searching, rescan all the image files, etc. Depending on how much storage you’re using, that can take hours or even days. In other words, restoring the Mac ‘caused’ the issue. Same thing happens if you set up a new Mac from a previous one or TM backup.

The noise is the fans in your Mac keeping the logic board cool. They can spin at up to 6000 rpm, and that's definitely going to be audible. So yes, normal.
