I have two of these fans. I bought both in 2011 a few weeks apart. I liked the first one so much that I bought the second. I don't really like heat so I use those two 6-8 months consistently throughout the year. This means we are talking about BIG usage over the last 6 years (I'm writing this in July 2017). I'm buying a third one right now so I can have one in my office. The two I currently own work with no issues. I've never heard them squeak, but I don't use the rocking feature that often. In the case when I use it, no traffic noise. I use one while I sleep that's constantly pointed straight at me so it doesn't wobble and is quiet enough for a good night's sleep. Just normal fan noise, but not too loud. It has three settings for how hard it should blow. It's not very big, but it really does its job! I highly recommend this item!
