2017 Ford Explorer XLT V6 Sounds Like A Jet!

[sem9899]

Hello, everyone. I have a 2017 Ford Explorer XLT V6 with the sport package. During the cooler months, my Explorer sounds normal. When the temperature gets around 80 degrees, my Explorer sounds like a jet. There are additional fans that kick on but never go off. Is this normal?

Well, today it's a breezy 110˚F here in lovely Arizona and my two radiator fans are on full blast. So yes, I'd say it's normal.

Not sure. We have had some 85° days here and mine are not roaring. There is a low and high speed fan function which are controlled by coolant temp and A/C operation. Could be a problem with active grill shutters, partially stuck open thermostat, high A/C pressures etc.

Thank you for your replies. I heard some other Explorers making the same sound when they would pull up to the gas pumps while I am pumping gas. I heard even other auto brands making the same sound. I guess it is a normal thing.
