All I cared about was noise/hum and I don't have it. Reviews on it are mixed, including people who get a clicking noise which I never heard. Completely silent and perfect for our bedroom. (For the record, it is 'Hi-Wind' by Aire/Minka Group. I'm lucky that I simply went through fans until I found the one I like, which of course is now discontinued. This is important to me too since we rely on a fan in the bedroom. And with the designs going crazy lately (have you seen some of them?), I doubt they are worried much about noise. I have found wide variety of noise even within the same brand. My best luck has been in the mid-price range. I've gone through about 10 different fans of all price ranges through the years and found noise to be a poor correlation to price. My comments on this are based on my experience as product reviewer for a big box. Look for good mounting isolation with rubber bushings and the like. Those without isolation transmit any hum or vibration to the ceiling, which acts as a big speaker. That said, quality fans also have a way, through mounting, to isolate the motor from the structure. It is kind of a bogus market if your biggest worry is noise.

Price seems to match the design-look more than anything else. High price doesn't always mean high quality for hum. This is baked into the fan in most cases. Here are the fan make and model….Bedroom: Billows P2552-20, 52”, 3’ extension, antique bronze) Living room (Billows P2552-80, 52”, 4’ extension, forged black)Įach has this wall plate mounted controller which is the recommended controller for these fans… Progress Lighting P2630-30

The light and fan both will have a white. If requiring only one switch for the fan and one for the light: Neutral: white wire.

I sent an mp4 file with the noise to the manufacturer and they suggested I change the two slide controller to a simple on off switch which I did…same noise…no difference…so it seems like that has eliminated the controller causing the noise…they are cooperating with me and will probably send me two new fans but these babies are 12 feet up and not easy to change.Īny one else have and maybe solve this issue? This is a step by step guide that will explain how to connect a Harbor Breeze fan and light to two switches, however because these instructions are mostly generic, the same steps can apply to many other ceiling fans. You could turn the fan ON with SWITCH 1, and then turn it OFF with either SWITCH 2 or by returning SWITCH 1 back to its original position. In all my experimentation the led light slide control is off. The fan seemed to be a basic 2-switch operation-much like what you might find with a light above a staircase controlled by two switches, one at the top of the stairs and one at the base of the stairs. The controller is solid state with a slide for fan speed and led light level, two slides same controller, wall plate mounted, each fan has its own controller. As far as I can tell the noise is not mechanical because it immediately disappears when I slide the fan to off, so I have ruled out mounting and balancing issues.

One is in the bedroom so It’s noise is very bothersome, the other is in the living room, not too bad cause the tv is usually on, but the same noise is in both. I have two ceiling fans and both make an electrical hum when running.
