MBP Owners: do you get any fan/power noise?

In the scenarios you outlined, the fans on all my macbooks are silent except when watching video or visiting sites that push video content ads. Videos using flash seem to be the worse.

 

YouTube on my 2015 13" rMBP doesn't cause the fans to kick on(that I can hear). I use Safari, I have click to flash installed and I believe YouTube just defaults to HTML5 video streaming.

 

No noise on my 2015 mbrR. Quiet as a mouse.

 

When I watch youtube videos and flash launches after 4 or 5 minutes the fan starts. But, unlike the others I use Firefox or Chrome and never Safari. It is not on all videos. Most of the time flash does not run, but on a few it does.

 

Late 2013 13" rMBP - no fan noise in Safari, no matter what I do.

 

Only time I notice the fan on mine is when I'm useing Handbrake to transcode videos.

 

During light / casual / moderate use it's nearly inaudible (any fan noise is only discernible in a dead-silent room, with your head right next to the computer). The SSD can make an electrical scratching / chirping sound under certain loads as well, but this too is very feint, and infrequent under normal use.

Under load it's a bit of a different story (it can give a vacuum cleaner a run for its money), but you have to push it pretty hard to get it ramping up like this.

 

Glad to hear that you are enjoying it!
