Try a different fan. I have several Hella fans they don;t seem
to create noise. Some of my older fans do create noise. Trying to
suppress the noise is probably more trouble than it is
worth.

I purchased and intalled a nice 12 volt fan over my galley stove to
disperse
the heat build up in the overhead.

I now find that the fan motor creates a buzzing sound in my FM radio
(haven't checked yet to see if it bothers the VHF).

I'll admit, I didn't pay much ($20) for the fan at West Marine, but it is
exactly what I wanted. 12 volt, .75 amps. and it osolates.

I guess I got what I paid for..

Isn't there someway to put a filter cap. in the line to eliminate this RF
noise??

Also, it's turning at about 1200 rpm and I'm also thinking a speed control
might be useful since it kinda sends the port hole curtains a-flying. (Ok,
so it's not exactly what I wanted, in retrospect).

recommendations??
