Just put a brand new FF in my TT. Motor has a chirping sound like a high speed cricket. FF sent a new motor and it does the same thing. Now the rain sensor quit.

Is the Max Air any better?

I have a shurflow brand fan that made a quick chirping noise when new. I called them and was told it was the brushes and it would quiet down with use. I left the fan on for 24 hours and the noise was significantly quieter. That was years ago. The fan is nice and quiet now and continues work great.

the max aire with the shroud that moves the fan blade to the rear and pointing down doesn't need a "rain sensor" etc. and can be run in the rain. much better than FF.

I had the same problem with the Maxx air I had in my old TT. Maxx air sent me a kit to fix it free of charge and I found that the fan was hitting on the housing. but in all fairness, I have had both and liked them both.

Have 3 FFs and every time I've heard that chirping noise it has been a foreign object (like a bug or small stick) caught in the housing somewhere or the fan touching the housing.
