Recommend me a roof rack

Hi everyone, I'd like a new roof rack for my Corsa - planning on doing a lot more cycling over the summer and would like to take mine and my daughter's bikes to some nice places.

The roof rack I have now is a cheapish Automaxi one with the square bars and it's noisy as hell when you're driving along - just a constant thud thud thud noise of wind buffeting the thing.

I'd like a new one with the more aerodynamic-shaped bars but the Thule ones seem to be very expensive.

Is there are cheaper option?

    They dont make much difference, Best remove them when not in use.

    The bars maybe aero but the brackets are not very aerodynamic.

    A pair of bikes will make much more noise than the bars, get some bungy straps
    to stop the wheels & pedals spinning.
