I don't want to advise this,but I can be pretty cheap. My actual solution for noisy fans is to remove the label over the bearings or punch a hole in it, and drop in some good all-purpose household oil, like 3-in-one.

That same trick works for the venting fan in my bathroom.

You'd think I'd just bite the bullet since the thing gets used every day but ooooooh no. Gotta keep it going til it dies.
