I just bought 4 Panaflo 12L fans (same as L1A) from svc.com. They are somewhat quiet, but they all make this rediculously loud clicking noise when on. Will this wear off? I dont think its a defect because all 4 do it, but if not, I will hafta return them because all i can hear is click..click..click
 
are the blades clearing all the way around? (new fans I would sure hope so!)
 
I find that if you pay close attention, at lower voltages, the panaflos tend to click a bit. At least that's with the 7 or 8 panaflos that I've worked with at one point or another.
 
Are you guys slowing the fans with a fan controller? because those pulse width modulating fan controllers can lead to a low volume, fast clicking sound that defeats the purpose of quiet operation.
 
I was just about to buy a panaflo, I hope this issue gets cleared up. Is it because of fan controllers, or is it clicking without them?
