Is the 2018/2019 Model 3 idle fan supposed to be loud?

I have both a 2018 and 2019 Model 3, and I just got a 2024 Model Y. I noticed the HVAC fan noise on idle is much quieter on the 2024 Y, it's barely audible. But both my 2018/2019 Model 3's have a noticeable idle HVAC fan noise no matter how low the fan settings are.

I can't remember if my Model 3's were always like that, or it has a problem now. Is this normal? Or has my Model 3's HVAC fans developed a problem?
