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??

I use Guest fans onboard have six including one at the nav station and
one in the head, anyway no problems with RH noise. They seem to put
out the most air and are relatively quiet but at around $50 bucks each
they should be. Mine are wired and switched to the interior lights and
fans breaker. Radios, electronics etc all are on a different breakers
but really no special shielding or wiring.
