	Really ? I had not heard this. Why floppies only ? I personally
am interested in a quiet, room-sized humidifier for my bedroom, to keep
the air moist while I sleep. I have very sensitive hearing in the high
frequency ranges (traffic lights, dog whistles, security systems) and I
have wondered if the ultra-sonic humidifiers are actually silent. Does
anyone have any experiece wtih this ?
