I would have never imagined this video would ever get almost 2 million views! This video was taken during a trip to an island in my country back when I was 13 years old, using an old Sony handycam (tape storage, mind you!). The noise caught my attention, and I thought I'd make a quick video of it to share with the world. I have never been to that island since, so I do not know if this particular fan has survived since then, but we still do have our fair share of this model still in service. I love the fact that a lot of you mentioned that this sound is extremely nostalgic, as the memories are very dear to me as well. For all the comments I may not be able to reply to, just know that I appreciate every single one! 😊 I use this account primarily these days. However, you might still see an occasional random upload to my old channel from time to time.
@Alexthefancollector Walker ease up a little, it's not like the uploader owns the sound the fan makes. its just a ceiling fan, you can't "steal" the sound it makes so its no big deal
This is the most nostalgic sound I remember. This used to be one of my favorite videos of all time. It still is up there. I don’t know what that sound is, however, I will never forget it.
The reason for this, is the fan was wired incorrectly with a PWM TRIAC in line as seen as a dimmer knob near the switch. It operates however shortens the lifespan of the motor. The reason is the waveform of PWM does not resonate in the motors iron core properly and also makes its power factor junk so the stator actually is under increased thermal stress, Either utilise the motors allocated windings for a fractional speed adjustment or install a variac into the wall if you really want to.

Somehow this video brought me back late 2000s and early 2010s feelings. I remember, before 2010, my house is old like what this video showed. We have old ceiling fans like this, but not as loud as this.
Same, I'm from a little Village in the South of India, we live outside India tho but when we do visit which is rarely, our fan literally sounds soo similar. Honestly, super nostalgic. It truly reminds me of my younger ages (2011, 12, etc)
90% of fans in the Maldives have variable speed controls. Normally, fans similar to this one are really quiet running on 220v. This one was simply loud:P
I was once stuck in the tropics with a noisy fan. The choice was stark: lie sweating in almost 95 degree heat with high humidity or use the fan. All through the night I cycled between both option. Lie sweating in the dark until I could stand it no longer. Turn on fan. Cool down with an horrendous noise until I could stand it no longer. Turn off the fan. Repeat. A night from hell.
Wonderful. I think the noise is because it is on a dimmer, dimmers work by cutting off the AC at a certain point in each half wave, so there is a sharp spike to 0 which makes the motor coils vibrate. It would be noisiest at 50% and quietest at low and full, since the spikes are small or nonexistant then. The reason for the cool "phasing" slowing down around 0:25 is that it's an asynchronous motor and the rotor is catching up to the speed of the magnetic fields. They get away from it again at 0:30 when he turns it up. There are better ways to control such a motor, but they don't sound as good. Edit: It occured to me at 3am last night that that last bit I said makes no sense, the magnetic fields would move at the same speed regardless of dimmer position, they just wouldn't be as strong on lower settings so the fan would settle into more slip. Maybe the noise is actually the rotor approaching some division of the field speed and it'll only sound like that at fixed divisions of the field speed. See, I can put as much as I want here, becuase nobody will ever read it.
It sounds like starting a big industrial motor, rated for literally hundreds of times more horsepower than this. Either the rotor isn't magnetically centered around the stator, or the bearings have had it. Time for a new Hunter, or Hampton Bay fan!
Ooop... I've somehow stumbled upon the 'old' early days of TH-cam video caves. Hand me a flashlight so I can find my way back out of here before I end up spending another 3 hours here.
Sounds like a guitar amp a little. It sounds cool starting up. But I believe that variable speed control is on its way out and its making the fan loud like that. I don't think there is anything wrong with the ceiling fan itself.
Imagine turning on that fan one day at home, in the dark with that sound as if it were connected to an inverter at 50 hz, the scare that one gets hahaha
You wish. These things run forever. the one installed in my parents bedroom back in like circa 2001 kind of sounds different but not as loud and it STILL exists and works well. It's more than likely this fan probably exists and is louder than ever, lol. it's so super darn nostalgic. I can imagine me from my 2011 self again switching on a fan and hearing all these mighty sounds.
I used to HATE this sound especially in my dreams as a kid. It gave me this kind of fear like a weird feeling that it is otherworldly and it may cause harm. Run away and hide from it
That dimmer switch is the cause of all that noise. It is the wrong type of speed control for a fan, because it distorts the waveform of the current going to the fan motor...This is ok for incandescent lightbulbs, but not for some motor driven machines.
I still remember Veteran's Day 2017 when my father dimmed the heater with fireplace simulation display...He was just sitting, around, reverse-chilling, when 'POP' the heat stopped working. He came and got me and asked what happened to his heater when I noticed that it was plugged into the top 120V NEMA 5-15 R receptacle. The one used to dim a table lamp. Who knew a 600 watt dimmer switch could handle 1600 watts (for a few minutes).... The house has almost no light fixtures secured to any walls or ceilings, all the top sockets of the receptacles are controlled by a light switch and you're supposed to plug in table lamps to light the place up. Needless to say it's a dungeon in there at night. Since I have been living there since 1985 I can't even go outside during the day without wearing sunglasses or my eyes hurt so bad from the bright sun.
However, the ceiling fans here in Bangladesh are very quiet, they make a vvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrr to a wfpwfpwfpwfpwfp sound BUT that’s not the motor, that’s the air blowing on the ground. Edit: the vvvvvrrrrrrr sound is the motor sound that quits more and more as the fans go faster and faster until the sound it absent.
One of my half brothers is a fan collector, and he has fans spread out everywhere in his house, and one of the industrials sounds just like that, and my boyfriend is afraid to go to his house because of that sound and all of the other fans my half brother has
