A neighbor said her attic fan was clanging, sounded like metal on metal. I checked it out & found nothing wrong. I looked for loose mounting brackets, loose fan blades, gap from blades to frame, found none of the usual culprits. I tightened the 4 mounting screws less than 1/4 turn each, so I'm sure it wan't that. Saw no evidence of a bird having flown in & hit the fan.
Like the car acting up til one gets to the mechanic.
Anyone else had this situation? I've had some fans being noisier than others, making more vibrations, etc. I've fixed that kind of thing with rubber spacers on the mounting bolts. That doesn't seem to be the problem here.
