Is something catching one of the blades?

Mine sounds like a flippin tractor...it's one of these from B&Q...it 'looks' pretty, but I wouldn't recommend one!

I had one of those 'flame effect' light ones. The drum with the holes cut in in to generate the flame effect must have got damaged, because it was really noisy, and my dog wouldn't go near it

Check that theres nothing contacting with the fan blades. Me and my brother used to shove lolly sticks in ours back in the 70'S. We once tried it with a screwdriver but it blew up, i think we made an electrical connection. In them days if we didn't know how something worked we soon found out..
