MacBook fan

Recently my MacBook’s fan has been really loud even though my laptop hasn’t been over heating. I’ve been on my laptop for less than 5 minutes and already the fan is seriously loud and I’m not sure what’s wrong with it.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Hi,

If your MacBook Air has intel processor, resetting SMC could solve your issue.

If it doesn't help, try to run Apple Diagnostics if it reports fan related error(PPF001, PPF003, PPF004).
