Noisy fan !

[ortziomenaka]

The fan should run at 2 speeds, low and high. If the drone is sitting idle on a tabletop with no air going thru the vents to cool the internals the fan will come on at high speed to cool the internal components down. This is my assumption as to how the drone fan operates, I could be wrong.

It could be. It’s logical

I recived todas my 2s. Dji says that is normal…

sounds ok ,but when you move the drone does the fan sound different ?

No, when I move it, it sounds the same, when I take it out into the street and blow it up, everything goes well. The noise is like that, above all, when it's leaning on the table, on the street, and flying, it's not hot

sounds good to me.as you heard from my video clip mine sounded like an electric shaver when moved.

I was hoping that was just normal behavior. Now I have to do something about mine.

I would not consider that loud myself. Put the blades on it, and you will never hear the fan. Or just having a conversation with someone around you, will be louder.

It's not how loud it is, it's that it makes a rubbing noise when moved. To me it's sounds like faulty fan bearing allowing it to move. If the new one doesn't make that noise then there would appear to be a batch of faulty fans. Last thing you want is a cpu overheating half way through a flight due to a failed fan.

My first Air2 fan sounded the same (loud and different pitch on moving). The replacement is quieter from Amazon but still sounds the same. Only on start up, once it’s flown then the fan is almost silent when drone returns to home and runs in static position.
