13" Macbook Pro 2017 nTB Fan Noise

[Jodiuh]

Are you saying that replaced Macbook doesn't have this high pitched razor sound?

The first one seemed to get all kinds of nasty...like 13K RPM Panasonic super shaver, lol! The new one doesn't seem as bad, tho I had been doing a huge photo import that might have been taxing the network, storage, and cpu @ the same time...not sure. Actually I had to do that with the new one as well and don't remember it ever being as loud. Anyway, here's a quick video of cinebench's cpu test running:

That didn't seem to stress it much, so I'm downloading Slime Rancher next...be awhile before I can upload that cause Thursday Night Football, + iPhone X madness and new Apple Watch / Magic Mouse 2 to play with.

I'll pm you the new video later, but if you have any other suggestions as to what other tests could be done, I'm open to testing them!

I converted 19 .flac files to mp3. It did 2-4 tracks at a time. this got the fan spinning at full speed after about a minute. It was loud, no high pitch noise though, just a fast fan and air being pushed. If this were to be on all the time I would be very annoyed. But I don't convert files or tax my system much. If you will be converting files often, it may be worth seeing how loud the Touch Bar version-2 fans-will be.

I do this all the time on my 2015 13" MacBook Pro and the fans only hit around 1500 RPM. I usually convert Flac to AAC (quality 127; stereo) on XLD with up to 150 songs on queue at 3 threads. Seems rather odd the newer model would have fans spin up more than mine unless they removed some HW decoding on the newer chips.

Nice video, man. It sounds fine in this video I think.
The easiest way to push your cpu to 100% is by copying this into terminal app:

yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null &

After one minute of this my fan rotates at full speed.

And this to stop:

killall yes
