Lenovo Yoga 16" Gen10 - Fan Noise

I received my new Gen10 Lenovo Yoga 16" a couple of weeks ago and have noticed the fans are quite loud when running on low, almost like a rumbling engine sound.

I thought this might be something that went away after a bit of use, letting the fans settle in, but I haven't noticed any change.

It's only when the laptop is lying flat, if I prop it up at a 45+ degree angle the noise goes away and the fans sound normal with just the push of air. They also seem normal when the fans are going harder (e.g. during gaming), with just a louder sound of pushing air.

Is there any way to manually control/adjust fan speed?

Is this common? Any suggestions if/how this can be fixed before I contact Lenovo?
