Yes, replace it. When the bushings wear out, they get loud. You're most likely running a hose from the humidifier, which creates a very small amount of static pressure, forcing wet, misty air into the motor bushings. Run the humidifier without any modifications and it will stay quiet for years.

I don't believe in using a mechanical device prone to failure for air exchanage. Just leave your door or lid loose for constant air exchange. Use a humidifier for humidity in a greenhouse or perlite to maintain humidity in a terrarium unless your casing bulk substrates which will make enough humidity on their own in a terrarium.

never taken one apart myself to know, but if the motor is exposed you can spray it down with some electrical contact cleaner and that often helps. just silenced a noisy stirrer in this way. RR is right on though its a sign of wear and impending failure when any electrical motor suddenly gets loud. cleaning it with some contact cleaner might buy some time but you might want to just get another one and have it ready to go.
