Noisy fans?

Used to be in the pharmacy section....they have some good ones at bed bath beyond too. Yep they go louder than a fan anyday

I use a radio and turn it between stations best white noise I have ever used. Fans etc... too much of a fire hazard for me.

I have three Honeywell air purifiers, they are awesome for white noise! Got them all off Kijiji for way cheaper than in store, and they keep the dog/cat hair under control in the house too. http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Pure...ef=pd_sim_hg_3

I think I only paid $40 each for them. I put one in each bedroom and one in the hallway.

The dehumidifier will make enough noise but you will have to either set it on a lower setting to run all the time or it will keep shutting off as it reaches the humidity set.

For a noisy fan try something like value village or swap type store to get an older fan since yes the new ones are made to be less noisy but the older ones aren't.

I do second the radio between stations. A couple of those well placed would work.

Thanks everyone! Lots of great ideas! My hubby was able to get the old fan working again, so for now I am back in business..LOL. PLus we spent the whole morning outside today so I am hopeful today's naptime should be a bit more restful I will keep all these ideas for when the fan truly dies though

I had a fan once that started to smoke from being over heated, don't take the risk. Kids can get out of there beds and try and stick things into them etc... I have some very inquisitive kids are that I just wouldn't trust. My radio is behind a very heavy chair so the kids can't get to the outlet.
