Is the fan actually louder than it used to be on the same load? Many
fans, and not just the cheap ones, are 'lubricated for life', where
'life' means 'until the lubricant dries up'.
It's a pain doing anything about this, as it is almost always necessary
to remove the rotor to add more oil, and this are usually secured with a
tiny plastic split washer which disappears very easily. For that
matter, the metal circlips on the more expensive ones also disappear
easily...
