I forget about this every year until I turn on the fan. You always hear the obvious low hum of the fan but then there are the overtones. They sound like a symphony unto themselves sometiems

My ceiling fan in the bedroom runs all year long. I like a breeze, and still have occasional hot flashes.

@TheAstroChuck lol, no I have hot flashes from time to time. Gotta have that breeze.
The little pleasures hidden everywhere....we just have to pay attention to detail to find them (or perhaps your fan needs lubrication?...who knows ? )

It is not a mechanical problem. It is the harmonics that occur. WHen I lived in Indiana the same thing would happen with the forced air furnace. I had a patient come to me about auditory hallucinations. It just did not fit with her presentation and I kept asking questions to the point of irritating her. We finally figured out it was the harmonics of her furnace she was hearing
I poke at one of them to stop that noise. I havent heard it this year.

OMG I can hear like whole conversations, all kinds of craziness in that white noise. My brain takes that aural canvass and paints some elaborate designs!
