Why is my Macbook Pro fan so loud?

I'm not doing anything intensive on my new laptop (I've had it for less than 2 weeks). I've already tried resetting the SMC but it didn't fix anything, it still gets really hot sometimes and the fans start whirring super loudly. Please help!

Can you open the ➔ Activity Monitor app and determine what may be using up the CPU capacity and causing the heat and fans to run most of the time? The link shown above will help you understand how to use the activity monitor app and troubleshoot.

Hi I have mine i5 8Gb McBook Pro and I don't find it normal when it heats up and the fan needs to cool it down. It's my second day I have the laptop. The fan is so loud too. It seems to me not right. It happens when I use Youtube.

Any professional opinion? I might return the purchase if it keeps doing this.
