There are usually plastic washers/bushings at the point where blade hardware is attached to bottom of motor unit if not properly installed or not completely ther will be a humming or unnatural noise when the unit is on. Recheck the washer/bushing for fit & that should do the trick.

Life is a one lap race. Make many pitstops.

I assume that he fan turns as it should but it just hums. If that's the problem then it's probably your dimmer. You need to change it to one that is designed for a fan, not a light.
