We have had our ceiling fans installed for a while now. From the very beginning they have been noisy. Motor noise. I have 2 fans of 2 models and 1 of each model is noisy. Do I have to live with it or can something be done to make them quiet?

Can you tell us the make and model of the fan. Some fans are great while other aren't much more than junk.

Good start asking for the make and model, I would have done the same. I also have some troubleshooting instructions that deal with noise:

Start with all this and get back to us.
