Humidifier recommendations?

We've decided to purchase a new humidifier. Ours was several years old and we'd replaced the filter and cleaned it regularly but it started to have a musty odor, from some other internal parts I assume, so we're throwing it out.

Any recommendations? I've been looking at several but a lot of them have a description talking about how they are super quiet or silent. I kind of liked the soft hum of our other humidifier because it provided some white noise in the boys' room.

 

we have 2. In my oldest daughters room we have a penguin and in the babies room is an elephant. both are Crane coolmist. But they are silent. but then again we also have a noise machine in their room.

 

Yeah crane cool mist! No filter! And safe! We have the green frog lol.

 

This is the humidifier that we use. It is fairly loud and it is what we use for white noise in the girls room. It also has a warmer for vicks pads to use when they are sick and it is safer than adding the vicks into the water. I really like it. It does require a fair amount of cleaning, but all humidifiers do. It doesn't have a filter that you have to change which is a plus.

 

We also have this one and like it. I like that its adds some white noise as well.

 

Vicks warm mist... LOVE it!!! We have tried just about everyone on the market and this is the best one!
