The fans should be expected to be loud when they are on full. You can test this as noted in your humming thread. If you select Max A/C, select the highest fan speed and recirculate the fans should go to full speed.

When they are on full blast it sounds like a jet engine on my 2014. A 95 degree day would definitely cause that. Takes a lot of air moving over the condenser on that hot a day to keep the AC functioning.

I bought a new 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4 with the HD towing and cooling package.

When the ambient temperaure is in the low 90’s or higher (Fahrenheit) - the radiator cooling fans will shift to a higher speed. It sounds as though a Lear jet is taking off.

I have had people tell me there is something wrong with my vehicle while gassing it in the summer, with the engine running and the fans roaring.

There is no mention of the louder fan operation in the vehicle owner’s manual. Early on - my Ford dealer said the noise is normal when I questioned the noise in the summer.
