Working for years since no more noise.
Roof turbine vents making noise.
Over time these vents can become squeaky from moisture and age related natural degradation.

They make noise too.
Roof vents vs whirly birds.
It is a con to make people think the spinning action is like running a fan and mechanically drawing hot air out.
But some roof air vents sit fairly flat to the roof with a mushroom style hood and unprotected sides.
From above i heard the howling fury of a burning helicopter being swallowed whole by a drunken banshee.
All things being equal wind driven turbine vents also known as a whirlybird roof vent do move more air than flat vents but only when the wind blows.

The whirly bird or turbine vents are worse than useless.
It was one of our rooftop turbine vents.

Tiny bits of greenery from the mesquite tree and sandy grains peppered my face as i jogged towards the driveway.
Roof vents come in a variety of styles.
Designed to maintain steady ventilation to attics these devices are necessary to prevent mold and excessive heat buildup under the roof.
Turbine vents are those ubiquitous devices found on almost every residential rooftop.
Flat roof vents have no moving parts to break or squeak but don t vent as much air as wind driven vents.
We live in alberta canada where we get lots of snow and heavy win blown rains.
Often a stiff wind will open vent dampers causing them to periodically clang shut.
Find the noisy turbine and apply the lubricant to the moving parts of the turbine.
It was a high pitched squealing mixed with a violent metallic clatter.
Be sure to lubricate the bearings.
