Bathroom vent fans are designed to pull moisture out of the room, but as they get older they can become noisy due to a build up of dirt and lack of lubrication. To quiet a loud fan:

• With the fan turned off, remove the fan cover, and vacuum out any dust or dirt that has become lodged in the fan.
• Lubricate the fan with silicone spray.
• Reattach the cover on the fan.
• If problems persist, buy and install a replacement unit.
