There can be a few different reasons why.
1. To start with, the blade iron motor screws might have worked themselves loose. To fix the problem, you actually want to loosen the screws and then retighten them while holding the blade irons to the motor
2. It is common for blades that are high gloss to make clicking type noises, which is due to the screw heads as they cut into the lacquer
3.Another thing to check is the blade, which could be rubbing on the blade iron. To correct this problem, take a piece of felt and place it between the blade and the screw head
4. To get the scraping noise to stop, you may be required to take all of the blades off and then check each screw while holding the blade up to the blade iron. When the fan has been in operation for some time, the screws can become loose.
5.If your fan is older, it is possible that the flywheel screw has come loose, which is causing the flywheel to move away from the shaft, thus creating a scraping noise.

it must be a very easy restoration. I in simple terms now stopped the terrible clicking in mine by utilising unscrewing the blades and steel housing around the motor (turn the fan off on the wall swap in the past doing this -- do not zap your self, extraordinarily mutually as status on a chair). In my case, there become a single electric powered cord drooping down against the final of the rotating hub, dragging against the bumpy floor because it spun. I in simple terms pushed the cord up out of how and bundled it to the different wires with a bread bag twisty. The fan is staggering lower back.

Has anyone with a beehive coif stood under your ceiling fan?
It could be that your appliance has fell victim to someone with a tall hairdo.

I think that means the bearings in it are out and they rub loudly when it turns. Get a new one. My parent's got a Hunter electric and it is quiet. You can't even hear it at all.
