Low speed , it is quiet, higher speed , rattles, I balanced the wobble
out of it years ago, have a 18" down shaft on the fan, checked the blades,
pushed up and down on the fan blades, arms, in the center of the motor
and have the play there.

Axial play shouldn't cause rattle. Even on high, the shaft/blade assy
shouldn't create enough lift to bob up and down.

Check for bent blade arms. If one is at a different height or angle,
it will cause problems at higher RPMs. Have you tried rebalancing it
lately? Self-adhesive lead weights have a habit of flying off when
you're not looking, or when being dusted. DAMHIKT.

Or when you and the misses play Strip Club and her garments get hung
up in the ceiling fan....been there...ah...never mind

I've never had a strong enough ceiling fan over my bed with which to
play "Spin the Petite Girl", but I've fondly thought of it often.
