If your HVAC system has gotten louder, it may be trying to tell you something.
A little sound is normal. But rattling, buzzing, loud humming, or vibration that keeps getting worse can point to something more specific.
Sometimes the issue is airflow. Sometimes it is ductwork. Sometimes it is a loose component, worn fan part, or vibration traveling through the home.
