Default IS350 A/C fan is loud

So i dont know if all is350 radiator fans are loud.
I live the texas, and its really hot right now. When i have air condition on i can hear the fans spinning when i stop at a red light or idling in parking lot. sometimes they don't stop spinning unless i turn the ac off.
can someone confirm if this is normal.

This is pretty normal in other cars also. But it shouldn't be that noticeable in the cabin with all your windows up

Normal! BUT only if extremely hot out. Fan speed is variable, so if it's loud 2 options to consider 1. Is ambient temp over 80degrees F. 2. Do you have blockage in the radiator? Meaning you should be able to shine light through the fins of it. If not use radiator cleaner and power washer to remove dirt and grime from fins then it may be quiet during normal operation. I've did it and the fan motors rarely go high speed.... Heed My Warning, Clean your radiator fins...! I'm sure it's just dirty!
