I have a Vornado Heavy Duty Shop Fan in a bedroom for the purpose of making white noise at night to help sleep. The speed switch only has a medium speed and high speed. I wish there was an option for a slow speed, but it does not have this.
Is there any way to add some electrical device between the wall circuit and the fan plug that would reduce the voltage going to the fan, so that it would run at a slower speed?

I have once made a lamp with a light dimmer enclosed in a PVC box. If you get a box and make holes for wires then wire a fan dimmer to it, you can precisely control it's speed. But make sure it is dimmable. If it doesnt say "non-dimmable" or something like that, it should be dimmable. EDIT: Since it has an integrated dimmer, it is very likely to be dimmable.
