Fan noise?

[Kaddy]

The fan in my truck buzzes moderately loud every so often. Is that normal…anyone else experiencing this?

Which fan and when does it happen?

 

[Kaddy]

AC fan, and seems like when it has to work a little harder, when the temp is high. Not always, though…sometimes it is random.

Totally normal, when it gets really hot it can get quite loud and you will even feel vibrations near your accelerator pedal. They have moved things around in Gen 2 so it does not vibrate but from what I hear it can still get loud.

Totally normal. When it's hot it's extremely loud and will vibrate the steering wheel. I wear earplugs when I start it up for the initial cooling. After 5-10 mins it quiets down.

Not normal at all.
But it is how the AC was designed by the clever Rivian engineers.

It is “normal” for our Rivians it seems. It helps somewhat to start your AC and vent the windows via the app 5-10 minutes before you want to leave, but even then the fan will race for a few minutes after you start driving.

Completely normal for the compressor that Rivian chose to install.

You probably mean the compressor. If so, normal unfortunately. You can test it by removing the cowl cover (like you would to replace the air filter) and touching/moving the compressor.
