I've been setting up a new 16" for my work from home setup. I do use it with an external monitor, and as expected I'm getting the 65 degree temps and fan noise. The thing is, I'm used to Mac fans having a lower pitched woosh to them, even prior 16" models I've tried. This one's fans seem much higher pitched when they spin up and it seems a little unusual to me. Just wondering if anyone else with a 16" can comment - I know they're louder than prior models, but are you also noticing pitch differences?
