I'm not sure. Our tv was not making any noise. It simply would shut off. After looking online at different forums, I was able to determine I needed a fan replacement by the number of times the red light near power button would blink. The fan fixed our problem and tv does not shut off anymore. If your buzzing noise is coming from back of the set and not speakers, it most likely is the fan. There are forums that say u can use compressed air to try and clean out the debris...but we found it was only a temporary solution and buying the fan was worth it! I recommend you Google "sony buzzing noise" to see what others say. Hope this helps! I'm not sure. Our tv was not making any noise. It simply would shut off.

I had to replace this thing because of the annoying clicking noise it was making. the first couple months the fans weren't so loud. But I think this thing is prone to failure. I wouldn't waste my money on it.

No. Have not experienced the problem you have. Motor noise will either go away, or get worse with time. It would be your decision to replace if unsatisfied.

I replaced the stock fans because I considered them to be to noisy, the pump is silent, noise is equal to the quality of fans you use.

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.

No, but any fan noise, air conditioner, exhaust fan, etc may be the problem.

There is some noise at high speed but very little at other two speeds. I use my fan at low mostly as that is enough for me. Sorry I wouldn't know how to reduce it.

Yes you will hear this fan, it's Not completely quiet. Of course the higher the speed the noisier.

acutally the problem is gone now after using it for a while for me...switching from performace and saving doens't make loud fan nosie anymore.

I would suspect the noise was the fan blades hitting some part of the shroud and possibly the motor is still ok but the switch should be turned off when turning the fan with your hands to see if it is hitting somewhere. The fan itself should last many years depending on the amount of dust & and duration of operation per use. try plugging a lamp into the outlet in the fan housing to confirm that the power is getting to the fan while you are there.

I have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

No. I had two of these fans and they are very noisy and fell apart within 6 months....the only saving "grace" was that I got them with my points I earned...

Sorry to say . With in a day I had to send it back the fans were seeming. I did not replace it. I thought for the price it was steal but it would have to work properly and mine didn't

yeah, that would be extremely annoying :) I have mine running a PC case fan that blows on it while its on, then the built-in fan never runs, and PC fan is MUCHO quieter.

There is the hum of the motor...but not very loud. There are no blades to clean inside....you just need to wipe the base of the fan (where the filter is so the air intake is good) and the round part of the fan I dust off as needed. Very easy.

No. I run mine (we have two) on a low speed and I only have a low hum from the fan.

I cannot hear the fan running, however, my hearing is not the best. My wife's hearing is good though and she says she doesn't hear it either.
