Angry Ceiling Fans Making Loud, Vibrating Noise

We have two ceiling fans in our home that are making horrible vibrations and they are becoming so loud we can turn them on. We have tried new globes, different types of light bulbs and tightened all screws that are accessible on the outside. What could be the problem?

There are a few different things that can cause this.
Is the noise a viberation noise, a motor noise or some sort of humming?
Do you notice a wobble when the fan is going? If so then..
Is the ceiling fan mounted sercuely to the ceiling?
Are the blades straight or has one been bent?
Has the fan blades been removed and then reinstalled possiblly just before the condition arose? If you could answer some of these we can help a little better.

There are balancing kits for most fans, if you know the manufacturer look them up on the net and get a kit. It should solve your problem.
