The cooling fans on this car are much louder than I expected. But they cycle off quickly enough that I guess they must be effective as well. Our 2012 TL is our first Acura, but if I were to guess, if the a/c is cycling more often than in past models, it's probably in an effort for better gas mileage. The less time it runs, the better your mileage may be. Check with your lawyer to see how much better.
