1. Yes, it's normal.
2. Is it YouTube?
That's CPU bound so you're going to be hearing the fans once the processor heats up.You have to see my fans on my MBP when im watching MacBrake in 1080p.

You might want to watch Activity Monitor while watching them as well.
Decoding is software based and don't mistake the drive spin up for fans.dvds mainly, too processor intensive?

how loud should the drive spin sound?
A little louder than the sound of birds chirping outside your window but softer than a dishwasher running a rinse cycle @ 10 feet.
