Does your fan have a light on it? Sometimes mine buzzes because the light fixture needs tightening. Also sometimes the blades need balancing.

If you have a dimmer switch on the ceiling fan it will "buzz" quite loudly because the dimmer basically gives the fan a bad electrical wave.. kinda hard to explain unless you know the fundamental of the electical sine waves and so on..
If you have it on a dimmer replace with a regular switch... your switch may be bad as well.
If theres no dimmer other appliances and what not can cause inerferance though not likely...
there is a voltage regulator that can be installed on your house just past the breaker box to regulate the voltage and everything... that might give your fan a clean power source.... As far as quality the fans there talking about may have built in regulators to quiet the "buzz"

Ceiling fans buzz because they are full of moving parts. Friction and parts moving against one another creates sound. The blades swishing through the air makes a sound, also. You can try WD-40 on the moving bits, but you're going to have to accept the fact that no ceiling fan is going to be completely silent. It's physics. Turn on the radio and you won't be able to tell.

it's the same reason an RC car goes NIIIIAHAIIIAIAHIHNNANAHIH when it's moving. it's the electric servos. I'm Extremely Glad to find someone that is looking for a quieter way to do it bc i've been working on a design that uses Induction motors instead of direct drive power (induction motor=magnets with a - and + that pull from one side and once the plate on the object being moved is in between the two magnets, it begins to push it away.

I know an electronic regulator make much more of a buzz than a conventionsl resistive one.

Not all of them do, but it is the motor running, so unless you pay big bucks for a ceiling fan, or it is high enough up, you are going to hear it.

They don't, buy a Casablanca or Hunter, not junk.
