   Is it well balanced?  There was a fan in my mother's house that made a clicking noise, which was actually a "squeak" from the unbalanced fan moving in the mount.

   I would check all of the screws that attach the brackets to the motor and the blades to the fan.

   If it is not that suspect that the either the mount to the ceiling is loose or the box it'self is loose or nor most likely is not a ceiling fan box and mount.

   yeah tighten everything ,
   watch the chains that dangle from the switches...for movement
   tighten any screws on the light kit ,
   and then balance the fan..

   or run it at a lower speed

   is there a light kit? Mine has a rattle and all i do is touch the light kit and it quits. One of these days I'll dig into it more and figure out what.

   probably the little screws that tighten onto the glass globes or trims ...I used some 3M high temp fiberglass tape once on a light ..the stuff is white .I also have never tried to balance a fan, unless the wobble was excessive .

   yea those balance kits are a waste of time. ive never gotten them to work for me. Duct tape and pennies always works for me.

   Thanks for the hint. I happen to have some of that stuff from a recent project.
