What Makes A Ceiling Fan Noisy?
So, what exactly makes a ceiling fan noisy? The most common instance of a ceiling fan being noisy is because it is off balance. However, ceiling fans can also experience a hum or a buzzing sound because of 5 additional reasons: 1) the fan may incorrectly be placed on a dimmer switch; 2) a fan remote with a bad receiver can lead to humming noises; 3) placing a fan on a circuit with multiple fixtures can lead to low voltage levels that make the fan buzz; 4) any loose screws or wiring is bound to make the fan rattle obnoxiously; and 5) the way the fan is mounted to the ceiling joist can cause noises to emit from the fan motor. While you can withstand some humming and noise from a fan, choosing to install a new modern fan will go a long way in keeping things quiet.
Where Quiet Ceiling Fans Work Best
Keep the airflow moving in rooms where friends and family gather, and enjoy the added benefit silence from your ceiling fan. Living rooms are often the top choice for a quiet ceiling fan and any of these stylish options work well in complementing your existing fixtures and furniture choices. Kitchens may also enjoy a new ceiling fan to keep the air as fresh as possible at all times. And look to a fan with smaller blade spans for any of your bedrooms. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, quiet ceiling fans complement the relaxing nature of covered decks, patios and gazebos. Lastly, enjoy a cool, quiet breeze in work spaces like the home office or your office away from home.

Choosing the Best Quiet Ceiling Fan
Choosing the right fan for your home begins by knowing the exact size your room will allow. You need to precisely measure for the fan's diameter (often represented as blade span) and determine how you will mount the fan to the ceiling. Ceiling fans can be extended from the ceiling with a downrod, mounted a few inches away from the base of the ceiling or mounted perfectly flush with the ceiling. Choosing a fan with a downrod allows gravity to play a vital role in balancing the fan to keep it quiet, while semi-flush and flushmounted fans will require accurate installation to keep from making noise. The number of blades on a fan can also determine just how noisy or quiet it will be. In general, as the number of blades on a fan goes up, the quieter it is. Find blade and motor finishes that are easy to integrate into your room's existing color palette and if you choose a fan with a light kit, review its bulb requirement prior to installation.
