Yes — a dust-caked blade is heavier and less aerodynamic, so the fan pushes less air and can wobble. A clean fan moves more air and runs smoother and quieter.
Grime adds weight unevenly and disrupts the blade's shape, so it cuts the air less efficiently — and an unbalanced blade makes the fan wobble and hum.
Less breeze for the same power, more noise, and dust flicked around the room instead of air moving through it. A clean makes an immediate difference in a Darwin wet-season room.
