How are people finding fan noise on the 14" Pro?

My 10c/16c/32GB/1TB 14" Pro isn't here until December unfortunately and currently using a base MBA M1 which is lovely for being silent. I have seen a couple of videos go up in the past day on Youtube indicating that the fans on the 14" come on more than the 16" and are generally louder for a given piece of work (ones from Luke Miani and MaxTech are the ones I just watched)
This is to be expected to a certain extent given the size and amount of heat to be dissapated. Also I don't sit running benchmarks all day, nor do I do any video work so I am hoping that in general I shouldn't have a problem (I generally have multiple browsers open with multiple tabs, multiple instances of VSCode running with different projects, MSTeams, Spotify, mail etc)

The 14" was measured as quieter than the 2019 16". Around 7:30.

The fans on MAX SPEED isn't even harsh. The noise profile is absolutely more pleasant than that of previous intel mbp's. In all honesty the M1 AIR is so nice being absolutely silent. But then again it's not the same league in terms of multicore power as the new ones.

At full max you will hear the fans but they are absolutely not irritating compared to any other gaming machines/intel MBP's.

and daily use as in email, web browsing, etc, the fans don't even come on. They only come on once in a while if you are doing sustained GPU workloads.

So far the fans have never come on and the computer has never gotten hot once, even during the several hour time machine migration.

This is my experience on the 14". I run pretty intensive audio sessions in Ableton (running over Rosetta) and the fans have yet to come on. It almost makes me feel there's something wrong with it!
