I assumed it was some type of imbalance in the blades or other vibration from the mounting. Anyone have any suggestions for eliminating the noise?

Rich,
Is your exhaust fan a "Fantastic Fan?" The unit in our 1998 2619 was. Fantastic Fan is a fantastic company. Call them at 800-521-0298. Explain the problem to them. Chances are they will provide you with the technical support and parts (most likely at no cost) to solve the problem, even if the unit is out of warranty. If it is in warranty, ask for Shelley Dunbar.
Of course, if your unit is still under warranty, and the dealer is located close to you, let them take care of the problem. Just know that Fantastic Fan is a fantastic company that really stands behind its products.
Good luck in solving your problem.
