Yes, that's very likely a dropped screw or something. I suggest you [get someone to] disassemble it and figure out what is causing the clatter before it does something really tacky.

My Brother PE-770 presser foot Q has started making a clacking noise. If I press in on the lever on the back of the foot, the clacking stops. What is causing this loud noise and how do it fix it?

Sounds like something in the machine in the head that makes it go up and down. either wear or something loose. I would have it checked by a Brothers repair shop

MT27 has a noisy fan operation. Doesn't always make the clacking sound, tried leveling the machine, cleaned condenser coils. We bought this unit 2nd had for our church's food pantry to keep the meat cold...

There are a couple of possibilities that could be causing this. I believe it is the fan blade. One could be that bracket that holds the fan motor in places could have loose screws, which would cause vibration. Another is that the mounting for the fan motor to the bracket could be loose. Another could be that the fan blade itself is slightly bent. Check the motor brackets screws, fan mounting screws and the blades. If all those are good, making sure the unit is unplugged you can turn the fan blade by hand slowly to see if it is dragging anywhere on the shroud around the coil or the coil itself. You could slightly bend the "clacking" blade to clear is that is the issue.

Just bought a Dayton electric heater to heat a 12' X 20' greenhouse in October. When the heater comes on it now makes a loud sound as if the fan is hitting something. I have it mounted horizonally near...

If it sounds like the fan is hitting something, It is likely you will have to get a step ladder, and look closely at what is making the noise-
Likely something fell in there-- and needs to be removed.

When you shut the thermostat down, does the fan stop instantly?

The problem relates to 2005 M5 E60. It makes a clack-clack sound when cranking - and only when cold. The sound is as if it is in synchronizationIt with the cranking ciclus - sound is coming from Engin...

It could be important and so it should be checked/located by killing the ignition and cranking the cold engine while someone experienced looks and listens in the engine compartment.

It is less stressful and easier to ignore a noise that is known not to matter...

Dual-switch controller was installed by electrician 1 - 2 yrs ago, working fine (controlling ceiling fan with lamp). This week, spontaneously, green indicator lights on lamp (top switch) cycle up and down,...

Sounds like it needs to be repgramed, but it may not be in the switch, maybe in the lamp/fan receiver (sounds like the wireless one), if this is the wired version, you may have to check all connections to make sure they didn't come loose.

Remote will work the fan but will not work the light

sounds like the power supply at the ceiling (normally a blue wire) has come loose, also check the bottom of the fan where the light fixture connects, for loose blue wire. if thats not it ,it may be a bad remote control, (but probally not the remote. ted

Clacking noise at different engine idles on my Yamaha V Star

Lots of bikes make a clacking in the transmission , especially when cold at idle. Basically the engine accelerates and decelerates between each piston firing, and you hear the backlash in the gears slapping back and forth. Without hearing it I can't say for sure, but find someone else with a similar bike and see if it sounds the same.
