SWMBO on hot nights likes to have an oscillating fan in bedroom .......... I'll agree it makes for better comfort, but damn noisy when you are trying to sleep.
This is a 12" 3 blade variable speed fan ....
I guess it needs a slow speed about 50% slower ... or better still a 16" blade fan running much slower ... anybody come across these.
Option would be ceiling mounted fan .. but lot of effort to fit.
