I think you just need a different fan. If this is a quality fan (i.e., it costs more than $100), then perhaps you can just exchange it for a different one of the same type. Otherwise, you might need a different brand. I've had a lot of luck with Hunter, and they are moderately priced.
I know it will be a pain to put up a different fan. I recently hung three fans in the same spot until I got one I liked.

You said it is not completely fixed??? Is the new fan still making a humming noise??? Most of the time the humming noise is caused by the fan control. If you put a fully variable fan control on most fans it will cause the motor to hum. It adjusts the speed of the fan at a different amprage than it was preset to run at. If you use a control with set High, Medium and Low it should take care of the problem.
