I just purchased this fan, was unpleasantly surprised to find that it emits a high pitched beep every time a button is pushed. Has anyone else had this happen?

My fan beeps when I push a button, but it is not a high pitched one! I love this fan!

I haven't, bought about five of these by now and never had a problem. I usually buy them at Costco but they were out of them when I needed a new one. Good luck!

It beeps way louder than it needs to - I find it unsettling. That's the least likable feature of this fan.

Yes, this is normal and I wouldn't worry about it. It just serves to alert the user that a button is being pressed (i.e., when kids play around, etc.).

Yes, it beeps when you push buttons. The buttons don't have any tactile feedback so that's to let you know when you've got a successful press. The noise is momentary and it seems like a reasonable sound and volume for a button push.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Mine beeps once when I turn it on. Suggest you contact Customer Service of the manufacturer. Curious!

My fan was really loud at first. It has either gotten 'worn in' or I'm used to the sound. I don't even notice it anymore!

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

No. It sounds as if you have an installation problem. I have a remote on this fan and it works fine. There is no unwelcome noise.

No, I don't have that problem. I never noticed a fan running until I read this email. Now, I can hear a slight hum occasionally. But nothing you should ever notice. Yours is not right.

There is a noise when the buttons are pressed, but not terrible. I've had my fan for 5-10 years and it is still doing the job.

I doubt it. Mine doesn't have one, and I can't imagine any fan having a clicking noise is normal. It would be very annoying.

The high pitched noise should only happen when you push the small button on the side of the handle. If you are not pushing the small button on the side of the handle and that button is not jammed in the depressed position, then you have a defective unit.

this would bug me too. i am no expert but i know my fan does not make a rattling noise. i would take it to a hospital right away. you deserve your sleep.

I hadn't particularly noticed the fan. It's next to my work station and not particularly bothersome. It comes on during warm-up and shuts down soon after. I have a Brother multi-function printer that is much louder (and slooooooower). You might want to have it checked at a Brother service center (see their website for locations).

I've never experienced that with mine in 3 years of use. I'd suggest unplugging it, waiting a minute and plugging it back in. If the beeping continues, I'd follow Bob W's advice and contact the seller. Good luck!

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks
