World's Loudest Ceiling Fan

Doesn't this beast sound awesome! These are found everywhere in the Maldives, but I've never heard one before, that has such a smooth sound. Accelerates like a Veyron too!

I would have never imagined this video would ever get almost 2 million views!

This video was taken during a trip to an island in my country back when I was 13 years old, using an old Sony handycam (tape storage, mind you!). The noise caught my attention, and I thought I'd make a quick video of it to share with the world. I have never been to that island since, so I do not know if this particular fan has survived since then, but we still do have our fair share of this model still in service.

I love the fact that a lot of you mentioned that this sound is extremely nostalgic, as the memories are very dear to me as well. For all the comments I may not be able to reply to, just know that I appreciate every single one! 😊

I use this account primarily these days. However, you might still see an occasional random upload to my old channel from time to time.

Imagine being in a dark room trying to turn on the light, but you flip that switch instead. That would be so scary

The neighbors:

Why there's always sound of airplane every night?

[SamZarifYT]

This is the most nostalgic sound I remember. This used to be one of my favorite videos of all time. It still is up there. I don’t know what that sound is, however, I will never forget it.

I’m honestly surprised on how it’s perfectly balanced.

90% of fans in the Maldives have variable speed controls. Normally, fans similar to this one are really quiet running on 220v. This one was simply loud:P

[FemboyEngineer]

The reason for this, is the fan was wired incorrectly with a PWM TRIAC in line as seen as a dimmer knob near the switch. It operates however shortens the lifespan of the motor. The reason is the waveform of PWM does not resonate in the motors iron core properly and also makes its power factor junk so the stator actually is under increased thermal stress, Either utilise the motors allocated windings for a fractional speed adjustment or install a variac into the wall if you really want to.

This was my very first ceiling fan video that I watched from other users like this before I started loving electric fans and such...

[TranceForLife]

Somehow this video brought me back late 2000s and early 2010s feelings. I remember, before 2010, my house is old like what this video showed. We have old ceiling fans like this, but not as loud as this.

[chrisbroesky]

Love the sound of old electric motors.

[FanOfVacuums]

That thing is scary. I couldn't sleep at night with that running!

[FBG_Cory]

As a fan collector that is the loudest fan I've ever heard!!!

[algoa]

I was once stuck in the tropics with a noisy fan. The choice was stark: lie sweating in almost 95 degree heat with high humidity or use the fan. All through the night I cycled between both option. Lie sweating in the dark until I could stand it no longer. Turn on fan. Cool down with an horrendous noise until I could stand it no longer. Turn off the fan. Repeat. A night from hell.

[HaifaaAmni]

I weirdly wanna experience sleeping there for a night. Sounds nostalgic

[Camphreneas]

That fan is a flipping Decepticon.

I would be HORRIFIED to hear that in a dark room when I want to turn on the lights!

Pilot: this engine is too slow 0:12
co-pilot: (increases the speed) 0:30
Pilot: woah thats cool
