∙ 9y agoMost ceiling fans make a humming noise. If you feel the humming noise is unusual, you should check how attached the fan is to the ceiling, as the vibration of the fan can cause a humming noise.

∙ 8y agoThis commonly happens when using dimmers. Dimmer wall controls are made to control lights and may cause your fan to hum. We DO NOT recommend the use of dimmers to control fan speed. You should remove the dimmer switch and replace it with a standard speed control. Another possibility is that you have a bad receiver. If you are using a remote control, remove the receiver and connect the fan directly to power. If the noise goes away, your issue is a bad receiver. Your ceiling fan might have bad capacitors. Try changing the switch cup and/or capacitors. If the fan is also running slowly, the voltage level that the fan is receiving may be low, causing the motor to struggle. Voltage levels below 105 volts A/C will cause noise. If you have multiple fans on the same controller or same circuit, this could be the noise culprit. Fans used in tandem with other fans on a wall controller tend to be more prone to noise. Especially in older homes, many rooms are on the same branch circuits. This can cause a low voltage to be present which will cause a fan to make noise and run slowly.

Why does your ceiling fan make noise with the lights OFF and no noise with the lights ON?
What kind of noise: A motor hum? A high-pitched sound? Which lights: the kitchen lights? The ceiling fan light? Sounds like you have your lights on a dimmer and that will cause a high-pitch sound. The noise is motor hum and a "clinking noise" almost like the glass domes are loose (they aren't). The lights I was referring to are the ceiling fan lights. I am not using a dimmer switch. Also, it is a Hunter ceiling fan (I don't know the model. It was a mid-range fan as far as price: $109.00)
