Best Answer

Because you live in North America. No, really. Our electric current is 60 hz AC. the fan runs at a multiple of that for example 7 * 60 is 420... which is very close to A flat ( G sharp) (415.305 Hz).

If you lived in Europe you wouldn't think of this note since they use 50hz AC.

Why do most bathroom fans sound like a G Sharp?

Because you live in North America. No, really. Our electric current is 60 hz AC. the fan runs at a multiple of that for example 7 * 60 is 420... which is very close to G sharp (A flat) (415.305 Hz). Europe you wouldn't think of this note since they use 50hz AC. Not by chance, if you ask an American to hum a note most will hum a G sharp. It is part of our lives.
