Hello, Ceiling fans of new generation have this problem. Rod of these fan have not threads. Rod connected with fan only with help of nut bolt. It is also happen with me so I avoid to use fan in this situation. Precaution is better.

Ceiling fans are a mechanical thing and because of the fact that there are so many different moving pieces in them, there are times that they will start to get a little bit noisy in operation and when that happens, there is typically at least one bolt within the motor of the ceiling fan that is loose. I imagine that if I was to have a noisy ceiling fan in my bedroom, it would make it really, really difficult for me to be able to sleep until it was fixed and not so noisy.

Yes if fan doing noise means no feeling sleep very well and due to fear no sleeping because fan may be fall.

I have heard of some ceiling fans that sound so weird and noisy, i stare at them for a time, just to watch if they'd fall down or not.. I stay away from them though,just in case hey do fall down.. that would totally hurt. Maybe there's something wrong with the screws.

If there is a problem with your ceiling fan, you must turn it off immediately to prevent any further damage of the fan and any injury to you later. Then, you can use a floor standing fan or a table fan to blow. Without those two fans as a replacement, you must not take any risk to sleep with your faulty ceiling fan. Normally, I shall never take it serious if there is a minor noise of my ceiling fan. However, it is good to find the cause of the noise and resolve it by tightening all of the screws, by greasing certain join portion or the best is by replacing a total new ceiling fan. In your case, I shall advise you to replace a totally new ceiling fan in term of safety caution.

You need to be careful if the sound started all of a sudden. If it making the noise for a long time, it is ok. But the sound starts and visibly annoying, which needs to be checked whenever it start making unusual sound. The fan may be fitted years before it need to serviced or to be checked after few years. In normal case it is not required, but at certain point of time, if the tear and wear is too much, then it is be inspected for a better understanding. This is not only with fan, but the common things what we use at home and if it make sounds, we need to be checked. Have a nice day.

You are a worrier indeed my friend. However, you have every reason to be because as you said the next day, you have to have the rod of the electric fan tightened. And your husband seemed unaffected. If that happened to us, it would be my husband who will worry a lot.
