Question

how do you stop noisy ceiling fans?

Answer 1

If it's motor noise, you can buy a de-humming switch.  They work great.

Answer 2

Oil. Actually I've seen oil at Lowes called Ceiling fan oil. This will keep the shaft lubricated. Unlike most equipment a ceiling fans gets a lot of continuous use. So you need to keep it lubricated. Another reason might be that it is out of balance causing the shaft to wobble. You can solve this by buying (you guessed it) ceiling fan weights. They act just like the weights that are put on your car rims to balance them. The fan weights attach to the top side of the fan blades where they aren't seen by use of double sided tape. You can place a weight on a blade then watch and listen any change. Both the oil and weights come with instructions on how to use them. Good luck.

Answer 3

Balancing the blades will take care a the noise.

Answer 4

Get a new one.
