Vent. For the hot air to escape, it has to have a place to go. In the case of the MacBook, the main vents are located near the hinge of the monitor and keyboard. The hot air is pushed out of these vents near the monitor, which is one reason that the area near the hinge often feels warm.
A MacBook Pro fan should always be on. However, it should not be excessively noisy or running at a high speed all the time. If it is running at maximum RPM (usually about 6000 on a MacBook Pro), this indicates there is software running on your Mac that is stressing the CPU or GPU.

Apart from a few exceptions, like the 2020 MacBook Air and the 2015 MacBook, all Macs have cooling fans. Processors and other electronic parts all generate heat when they're used. And the more you use them, the hotter they get. Most of the time, you won't even notice the fans running.
There are currently two models in the MacBook series: the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air. The regular MacBook has been removed from availability. These laptops are powerful, but in exchange, generate a lot of heat. To keep them cool, each laptop has at least one fan and a casing design to assure proper airflow.
As you can see from the graphs below, which measure the speed (rpm) of the left-hand fan in both laptops, it wasn't uncommon for the fans on the 2019 MacBook Pro (left graph) to be whirring at 4,000 rpm or beyond. Compare that to the fans on the new MacBook Pro, which barely come on at all.
There are a couple of air vents on the side and bottom of the MacBook, which helps the fans in sucking cold air into your device and releasing hot air out of your MacBook.
