A method for controlling a fan is provided for adjusting the rotational speed of a fan. The method includes adjusting the rotational speed of the fan from a first mode value to a range of rotational speed variation, wherein the upper bound of the range of rotational speed variation is a second mode value plus a first variation value, and the lower bound of the range of rotational speed variation is the second mode value minus a second variation value; and adjusting the rotational speed of the fan in the range of rotational speed variation during a time period. Thus, a user will not consider the sound from the fan as a noise.
