Not too long ago I also had the same question as you do; why is my Dyson making a high-pitched noise?
The high-pitched or muffled sound coming from your fan is probably due to dust clogging or a worn-out motor. Problems in the internal components can also cause such an issue.
While this is definitely an inconvenience, there are remedies for this particular problem.
It took us a while to figure out the problem and fix, but you don’t have to worry at all because we have the fix ready for you.
How to Fix Dyson Fan Noises? The Cause and the Solution
The key feature in this fan has is that it doesn’t have fan blades and that makes the item extremely silent.
But there is no 100% guarantee when it comes to electronic products. They may bail on you at any given time without any prior warning.
If you notice your Dyson fan making high-pitched noise you should get started with the troubleshooting.
Cause 1 – Worn Out or Defective Motor
The most probable cause behind the high pitched or whirring noise is worn motor bearings. This component lets the other parts of the motor run quietly and smoothly.
Good bearings will not create much friction too.
But defective bearings will generate more friction, which will result in creating noise as they are on the move.
Sadly, the internal parts of this fan can’t be accessed that easily. This means that you won’t be able to take matters into your hands if you wish to and would need additional help.
Solution – Motor Replacement or Repair
Wait to see if the noise goes away on its own. If it doesn’t, then you will need to reach out to Dyson to weigh out your possibilities and fix the problem with their help.
In that case, you will have to send the fan over to get it repaired. You might even get a replacement if the situation is like that.
One thing you can do to prevent the bearing is not to keep the fan running at all times. Whenever you are not in the room, give the machine a break and switch it off.
Cause 2 – Clogged Dust
Another cause of the whirring sound is because of something getting stuck to the fan or because of dust clogging.
Solution – Clean Up
Dyson fans do collect dust, so it’s better to get it cleaned every once in a while.
