If you mean it's louder than normal, try resetting the SMC.

If you want to kill your Mac turn off your fan and let it cook itself to death.
What iMac and what macOS? It is certainly not iOS 10.1.
What software update? and what is it doing when the fan rushes?
Is it hot where you are at the moment?

Do not do that.....including using software to regulate the fan. The system is engineered to use the fan when cooling is needed.
I would reset the SMC.
