just installed the fan. It is beautiful but the motor noise is noticeable. Any suggestions on reducing the noise?

There is some noise at high speed but very little at other two speeds. I use my fan at low mostly as that is enough for me. Sorry I wouldn't know how to reduce it.

Hello! Many models of fan make an initial noise with their motor for the first 24 to 48 hours as the oil inside the motor gets distributed. If it still makes a noise after that period, please definitely contact the seller you purchased it from for an exchange.

No. Have not experienced the problem you have. Motor noise will either go away, or get worse with time. It would be your decision to replace if unsatisfied.

It is hardly noticeable. very quiet. If you have it set to the deepest massage you will hear the motor a little and the air , both are low noise.

no fan noise. i would say the light is not very bright. you could aim the light away from you if you feel it is too bright.

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

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

Seems to be the case. I was equally as disappointed with the extreme noise of the motor/fan.

My experience with the Cool Attic fan was early on, also. Vibration had evidently loosened the two bolts at each end of the two motor brackets connecting the unit to the fan shroud. This allowed the fan blades to move towards the shroud to scrape (not a squeal, at least to me :))) it. I braced the brackets the opposite direction, tightened the four bracket bolts, and that was helpful. I may tighten the drive belt a bit because it cycles through a vibration occasionally and rubs the bracket-not critical or very noisy. "Squealing" suggest to me a belt noise, too. Maybe needs tightening a bit? My experience with the Cool Attic fan was early on, also.

Well, there is a certain element of noise as the motor works to turn the fan, but it's a white noise, a quiet noise if you will. There are certainly no ticking or whizzing or whining noises. I put it on and forget it's going. I've been quite happy with mine.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

It's pretty quiet but on the flooring I have it on and at a certain fan speed there is a slight buzzing going on. If you need dead silence I'd suggest an oil-filled radiator. They essentially make no noise except perhaps a slight clicking when they cycle on or off.

The motor is extremely quiet, just a hum. The rocks, however, can make some noise, especially big ones, but not really too much. You wouldn't want it in your living room. Mine is in my basement and I can barely hear it on the next floor. It's quieter than a window air conditioner. You can make it quieter by adding sawdust. You can also glue some inner tube inside the lid which makes it quieter and last longer.

I agree with David Moore, The only one that I had noise from was mounting to the rafters on a 1 foot 8 inch tube. I think the bungee cord is a good fix. I must also say, I have two of these fans. The other one also mounted on the rafter with a very short tube and it runs quiet and smooth.

We like our fan. Have it out on our patio. Have not noticed any loud noise. Very quiet! Hope this helps.

I placed the fan in my bedroom at night and I barely hear the motor running while sleeping. Sometimes I forgot to turn it off because I don't hear the motor. I'm very pleased with the Miallegro purchase.

my advice, while the fan looks nice, the operation is not great. It only operates off the remote which is annoying.

Mine is not even noisy, just a slight hum. Hint: If you have not purchased a remote control for your fan and you don't want hanging chains to control the light and the fan, you should get the remote before you install the fan. It is much easier to do the wiring of the remote transmitter (into the fan housing) before you install the fan on the ceiling.
