Fan speed is not constant

I'm using Dell Lattitude 5480 and I think that I have a problem with fan speed. For example :
CPU gets to the temperature around ~75 C -> fan starts to work as fast as he can
Then temp goes down to ~70 and fan's speed starts to vary. Until it's down to ~50 C it vary around 2300 RMP - 2700 RMP (I am monitors fan's speed with sensors ) in very short periods of time. It's quite annoying, is there any way to make this speed constant? I wouldn't thought that its Linux Mint's fault, but on Windows 10 everything works just fine.

On the Windows 10 system that you're happy with, can you show us the System Cooling Policy and other Power options?

Fan speed is generally not intended to be constant; higher temperature readings cause the fans to work harder in order to dissipate more heat.

Would you mind telling me how to find 'System Cooling Policy' ? I rarely use Windows and have no idea where to look for it.

The issue is that in 1 seconds in can be changed from quick to slow, I know that when its 60 C and you want your CPU at 50 C u dont have to use 1000% of fan power, but when in 1 second it can vary from (for example) 40% to 60% its quite annoying.

Try installing fancontrol package and use sudo pwmconfig
there is a tutorial to change fan settings here : Control fan speed Youtube video
Edit 1:
According the video you first install lm-sensors and fancontrol using sudo apt install
Then you do sudo pwmconfig and you put y answering the questions. After that you put the path of the file e.g /home/**Your user name**/Desktop/fancontrol
Then you will get something like this:
select 1 which is the controller of the fan and insert the values according to the following image:
Then you copy the code generated in the file on desktop open the terminal and use this command: sudo nano /etc/fancontrol
Finally paste what you copied and press cntl+x to save and exit.
Now you can run sudo fancontrol
I hope it helps

Check to see if there is something stressing your cpu (or gpu) when this happens. It could be chrome or slack. Remember that the CPU can instantly go from 50 C to 90 C under heavy load. The system temperature takes a little while to catch up.
Usually there are fan settings in the BIOS that allow you to change the fan speed characteristics, but YMMV.
