I'm setting up my new PC for the first time and I'm wondering if the fans are supposed to be this loud when I boot it up. Should I expect them to quiet down after a while, or is there something I should check?

Yeah, when you first turn on your PC, it's pretty common for the fans to spin up loudly for a moment. Most machines will do this as they check everything. They usually calm down after a minute or so once everything's going smoothly.
If the fans are still loud after a while, you might want to look into adjusting the fan profiles in the BIOS. The default settings can be a bit aggressive, and tuning them to your preference could help reduce the noise.
