Does the rotating grill make any motor noise / richoting noise? I can hear this noise when the fan is in breeze mode and the fan isn't spinning.

I haven't used this fan since last summer but I seem to recall that it makes a slight clicking sound. We use it on the front porch not in the bedroom so we haven't noticed any really annoying noises. It's pretty quiet.

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

Mine does make a very slight fan sound. Only noticeable if it is very quiet.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

The fan does make noise; the oven does not operate silently when in convection mode....but it's not horribly loud.

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

Hello! Many models of fan make an initial noise with their motor for the first 24 to 48 hours as the oil inside the motor gets distributed. If it still makes a noise after that period, please definitely contact the seller you purchased it from for an exchange.

the grill is plastic, but you can paint it...I would just use a good shellac base primer first so the paint will stick well, and make sure not to plug the holes with paint...this unit really moves some air and you CAN NOT HEAR IT hardly at all unless you listen for it....Best fan I have ever seen or owned!!! I can fee the air getting sucked from under the bath door, where I have about a half an inch of space between the tile floor and bottom of the door.

Mine seems to always have the motor running. Mine works great and is not broke. It is not the quietest fan however I have nothing to worry about. I would call then manufacture for more information.

I don't know of any other that can be heard from outside on our back patio while tending the BBQ grill with the kitchen exhaust fan going over the stove next to the timer on the side of the fridge with its magnetic mount - so that's 30 feet away around the corner over the loudest kitchen range fan noise level with patio conversation, breeze through the trees, birds chirping, BBQ grille sizzling, overhead flight path from PDX and I still get the jolt from the loud beeping to alert me that the time intervsl has elapsed. Something tells me that the manufacturer didn't think of this test condition for their unit...

Yep - it makes the sound from the motor. The reviews mention it. You should have done more research or return it. I don't know of any that dont'make this sound though...

The housing (grill) mounts around the fan motor. It is a quiet fan for its size. Of course the higher the speed, of the three speeds, the louder, but it is a quiet fan for its size.

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.

It is a bit noisy, but this unit is by far the most used appliance I own. I haven't used my deep fryer sense I got my TurboFry, I don't even notice the noise anymore.

No.No.No.My fan makes an irritating noise on high speed that sounds like a howling wind. It is on now and I use # 2 selectionand its not doing that and I think the vibration comes from the "honeywell" button on the front.

Vornado heaters & fans do not oscillate. Rather, they use a vented design which pushes the air out in a continuous wide angle, thus, it does not need to rotate since the air has a wide sweep coming out of the grill.

When I took the fan out of storage this month, cleaned it and used it for the first time of the season, I noticed a tiny squeak at a certain point at the rotation. My husband took care of that and now it's as quiet as ever.
