of my clock that seems to be getting louder and more distracting with each passing day?

Any ideas on how to get rid of that ticking noise?
Can you please turn off the fan? Thank you!
Make sure to add some string pulls to muffle the sound of it hitting the light. 🤷🏼♀️
Adjust the blades for better balance.
Try adding shrink tube to the chain where it’s making contact with the light
The noise is caused by the metal cords hitting the lampshade. Maybe try putting something around them 🤷♀️
That metal dome up there is causing the noise. Try using some pole foam tape to stop it from bumping into things.
Even if you try to fix it, the unbalanced blades will still eventually wear through the foam
So how do we go about fixing it?
Facepalm
If your fan is wobbling, it might be due to unbalanced blades. There are videos on YouTube that can show you how to balance them. Sometimes, the blade mount can also get bent if someone accidentally hits the blade while it’s spinning. ‘t worry, we’ve all been there!
I once saw a ceiling fan spin so fast that it knocked a baseball through a double paned window. I won’t reveal my source…
Had a very similar experience to what occurred here.
Make sure the blades are balanced
Please switch it off.
So, to solve the issue, I simply lowered the volume. Problem solved!
Oh, it’s the metal cord… The wind is making it tap against the glass light fixture… Maybe tie it up or wrap it around the light.
