Clicking sound as it revolves

My ceiling fan makes a clicking sound as it revolves and the sound gets louder and louder as it goes faster. I have looked at the blades the motor attempted to lubricate it, no change. The clicking is more noticable as it revolves in the counterclockwise direction than when it revolves clockwise direction. This noise just started happening all of a sudden.

I have this vibrations around my fan clutch and some time it sounds like something is clicking or tapping.

The clicking is generally caused by a flat roller bearing. If the sound seems to be from the fan clutch you can grab the fan blades and see if the bearing is worn by rocking the blade by pulling it towards you and rockng it away from you
Another way to see if its bad is to use a solid pole something like a broom handle. Place one end of the handle on the accessory that runs off the serpentine belt such as the alternator and place your ear on the other end of the handle. As the engine runs you can hear a bearing making noise revolving as it move. If a bearing is bad the noise will be much louder and have a heavy grinding noise

When i put in 4 wheel drive i got a clicking popping sound and when in 2 wheel drive it sounds like a rattling sound that gets louder the faster you go

Sounds like gear and chain need to be replaced in transfer case.
The popping and or clicking is the chain trying to climb up over the teeth on the gear in transfer case.

2004 gmc envoy engine tapping sound, it has plenty of water/antifreeze, and plenty of oil.

We have the same tapping sound on our 2003 Envoy six cylinder engine. I believe the sound is coming from the radiator fan clutch assembly. When the engine reaches its operating temperature and the fan clutch engages, the tapping sound goes away.

Clicking sound

The fan should be replaced. The bearings are getting worn out.
