Agreed, the ESU motor control does humm/whine , that's their only drawback indeed. Which version decoders do you have? V3.5 or V4's (including the Select and select direct) ? the soundfiles that 'fit' in a V4 family decoder are able to be loads better than the older V3.5 ones.
I have just managed to get a donation of 3 or 4 QSI decoders, which are in the mail to me. QSI are incredibly complex to set up, their sound is not great (except for the Horn which is great), but motor control is very good.
As they were free, I'm going to use them as an intermediate step to equip some of my loco's that have, until now, no DCC decoders and couldn't be used.
