How would you feel if somebody were to stand right next to your ear and constantly buzz in the same? It is obvious that you will feel irritated and would lose your ability to concentrate on your task after some time.
That is exactly how you are going to feel when you have a fan that makes a constant buzzing noise.
There are many reasons why the fan may make such a noise.
For starters, improper maintenance and accumulation of dust may be one reason.
Secondly, improper earthing and electrical flaws may be the second reason.
Thirdly, you may be trying to run the fan at too lower speed.
Why is the last option a problem? Well, the motor is design to operate within a specific range of speed.
Manufacturers focus on the high speed because a fast moving fan is going to ventilate the air and is going to reduce the perspiration.
On the other hand, a person who is feeling cold will probably skip the ceiling fan all together.
However, if you are a person who feels uncomfortable when the ceiling fan is not switched on, you may want to reduce the power to the minimum most level.
If the device that is used to control the power has prefixed limits, you should not face any problem.
If you have a dimmer that helps you determine the right level of speed, you may end up choosing a level that is so low that the motor starts to emit a buzzing noise.
There is no specific solution to this problem.
The smartest option is to identify that point where the fan does not make a sound when it has been slowed down.
You should avoid slowing the fan below this level.
Or, you can go in for a fan with a less powerful motor.
The problem is that the high range of the motor causes it to malfunction when it is lowered and is forced to work at very low speeds.
You can overcome this complication by opting for a less powerful motor.
Of course, such a move will work only if you intend to run the fan at low speeds at all times.
If you want high speed as well as low speed in the same fan, it is obvious that you will have to compromise on either the performance of the fan or the sound pollution that will occur.
