My husband installed the fan and at first it was quiet and sounded normal, now it has a squeaky sound going on. Any idea what that noise could be?

It is probably the bearings on the fan. You would have to access the motor and oil the bearings.

i recommend contacting the vendor. Like the others, mine does not squeak and is quiet in general - as far as bathroom fans go.

The sound is most coming from the fan. First remove the glass fixture to see if the noise goes away. Once the glass fixture is off you should be able to verify where the noise is coming from. It is likely the fan is rubbing on the metal frame of the enclosure. Try moving the fan to one side or the other.

I have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

is the fan leveled? Mine is a bit loud but that's just the fan. Honest I got used to it being a little loud

I've no idea if it's normal, but I doubt it. We just hear the fan, with volume directly relative to speed it's running. Nothing electrical buzzing at all.

I didn't experience this noise. I sent my back for different reason. The fan didn't work. Maybe your fan doesn't work and is squealing?

The fan doesn't make much noise. Depending on the temperature setting, the fan makes a low "quite" hum.

There is always going to be some noise from a thermoelectric cooler, but I recently had a few days of loud noise from the fan. Opened up the back and could not find anything loose. Eventually the fan noise went away in over the span of a week or two. Will be monitoring.

the fan isn't always at max, but when it is (seems like random) its unbearably loud. I returned mine.

The one I purchased and installed is relatively quiet. I don't notice any noise. I'm happy with the purchase.

Mine makes a little bit of of noise, but not too much. I believe it has an internal cooling fan, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Sorry, this probably not that much help.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

I also bought this laptop recently and am also hearing the strange hard drive noise. It's like a squeaking sound. As long as the hard drive functions well it's not an issue, but if this is a precursor to hard drive failure then I'd be worried.

Mine doesn't make a sound. Might be something wrong with the fan or something. Luckily, your WD has a 3 year warranty when you purchase it. You can either talk to your seller, or call customer service of WD since your WD has 3 year warranty with them...

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy

I'd also suggest making sure all the bolts are tight. They loosen up over time and I find that giving them a quick tightening occasionally helps reduce squeaking noises.

Never noticed a fan problem. I can hear it, but it's quite minimal (and I'm sensitive to noise).

No. I've had mine over 2 years and I've never heard anything like that. I only hear the fan and air blowing.

this would bug me too. i am no expert but i know my fan does not make a rattling noise. i would take it to a hospital right away. you deserve your sleep.
