Lifts are BMC. The BMC was informed when it was done years back. Comparing the lifts in our tiny building is not really the same as Elan. It's a much bigger building with lift motor rooms and 8 lifts over 40 floors. Sure, the fans are a little loud, but they do not affect anyone's peace and enjoyment of their lot as far as I'm aware. I don't believe there is any reason for the BMC to consider spending money on new fans just so it's quiet in the lifts. How long do you spend in them?
