    Ceiling fan noise
    Our Hampton Bay Windward II remote controlled celing fan/light, which we've had up for 5 years, has always hummed loudly when turned on. When my husband lifted the motor off the ceiling housing - it quiets somewhat. The rubber isolator pad was installed between the bracket and ceiling box. Is there anything else we can do? :)

    Make sure everything is connected tightly. Other than that, all you can do is add more vibration-isolating material between parts.
