What could be the cause of roaring fan noise?

Asked by Alesia May 29, 2023 at 02:51 PM about the 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Anyone know what would be causing random roaring fan noise
when accelerating?  Mostly when vehicle is cold, or it's raining,
and sometimes just out of nowhere.  We had fan changed.
Tranny shifts well. Everything is working properly.

Usually that is caused by a fan clutch holding on too long. Could be a temperature sensing issue.
