Best White Noise Machines for Sound Sleep

With the user in mind, the manufacturer has equipped its white noise machine with a patented technology to ensure the greatest quality of your sleep. The idea of the technology is that it adjusts to the environment of your room and programs the optimal volume automatically.

Soundtracks for sleeping should be considered too. Although you see 10 different sounds to choose from on the front panel, there are actually more. How so? Simple! Each of the 10 sounds contains three unique 30-minute tracks that can be combined for richer atmosphere. Thus, if you choose “ocean” option, you can hear not only waves splashing against the beach but also gulls screaming somewhere far away. To choose either simple or mixed track, there are two buttons - adaptive turns on the simplest track while richness is aimed at adding two more audios if you like. 

To get the best results from using a white noise machine, some rules should be followed. 

• Set your appliance 1 meter from your bed. If you use a machine to help your kid fall asleep, 2-meter distance is considered a perfect option.

• If you sleep with your partner or in the same room as your children, note that the track you choose for sleep should be pleasant for everybody.

• If you are looking for a cheap alternative to a white noise machine and want to download white noise soundtrack from the Internet, be careful since you cannot be sure it is real white noise. Bad quality of record will not only be useless but can even harm your sleep.
  

Some users complain that even when a white noise machine works, they still hear disruptive sounds. The problem might lie in the fact that every person perceives sound in his/her unique way, so it’s possible that you have a feeling of a track not blocking annoying noise but overlapping it. If you’ve faced such a problem, just try another track. After all, this model actually boasts 30 different audios.

•  Dohm-DS is a small acoustic box with a motor and fan inside.
• The machine is available in white, black, and tan colors, so you’ll definitely find the one to complete the interior of your room. And compact size allows you to set it wherever you want. 
• It works at low and high volumes, consequently, you can choose the most comfortable option for you. 
• Rubber feet at the base prevent vibrations, thus, the only sound you will hear is the calming white noise.

As it was mentioned above, white noise is a great remedy for sleepless nights, and what is more important, it is suitable for both adults and kids. Moreover, even babies calm down when they hear the machine working. The thing is that they hear a similar sound in their mother’s womb, so if lullabies don’t help anymore, using a sound machine is a great alternative. Plus, maximum sound level the device emits is 50 dB, which doesn’t exceed the permissible limit and is therefore absolutely safe to use. 

All you need to start using Marpac Dohm DS appliance is plug it in and choose one of the two volume levels with a switch. For a better effect, it’s recommended to set the machine so it emits sound evenly around your room. If you want to block a particular sound source, simply put the device between you and the cause of a disturbing noise.

Another thing we like about this machine is a wide range of white noise and fan sounds it produces. The white noise ranges from white to pink and brown. The deeper variations are very soothing and relaxing - they sound more like rain than TV static. Yet, all options effectively block distracting noises that might wake you at night.

Ten different fan sounds include both soft and industrial variations. So, we believe you’ll find the perfect sound for your better sleep. All white noise and fan sounds are unique and non-repeating. For your convenience, you can set the perfect volume level (with 1dB increments).

Like many high-end noise generators, the Lectrofan lets you set a sleep timer. You can program the machine to play continuously or schedule the timer in 60-min increments. As mentioned, the sounds it generates are non-looping, meaning the machine could become a great addition for individuals that easily get distracted by changing sounds. Probably, the only flaw which slightly mars the Lectofan machine is that it doesn't produce natural sounds. So, if this issue is crucial for you, you may want to consider other models listed in this review.

This little noise machine has a minimalistic design and comes in classic White and Black colors to suit any interior. It looks clean with a straightforward, three-button interface. So, changing settings will be easy even at the nighttime. The unit takes up very little space on a bedside table and is compact enough to fit into your suitcase. Take note that it can be used with both an AC wall power adapter and a USB cable, which makes the machine very convenient for travel use. Moreover, you can choose the machine either for the US or global use. The worldwide model costs a bit more, but if you're a frequent traveler, we believe extra bucks are well-worth your sound sleep whenever and wherever you are.

In all, this little noise generator can find many uses in your household. It can be used as a silence machine in your bedroom or nursery, a part of therapy treatment, or a perfect travel companion for restful sleep.

The simple controls of the device are something users will appreciate. To choose among white noise, fan, ocean, rain, brook, or summer night audios, you only have to press a button with the corresponding print.

What happens if you listen to one track for a lot of times? Right, you get used to it and begin to notice when it starts and when it ends, and this awareness isn’t the best way to fall asleep. Fortunately, all audios produced by Sleep Therapy device are recorded so you don’t hear any repetitions. No matter which sound you play, be it rain or ocean, you can be sure you’ll relax in the blink of an eye.

If you’ve listened to all sounds of your sleep machine, and nothing helps, try to consider the following:

• Make sure you feel comfortable. Sometimes, even the slightest discomfort can complicate the process of falling asleep. Pay close attention to the position of your head and neck – if it’s uncomfortable to lie on your pillow, memory foam model can be an excellent solution. 
• Check on the volume. Perhaps, the sound is too loud and disturbs you from rest.
• Maybe you’re one of those people who need complete silence for refreshing rest? If so, give earplugs a try.

To help every user find the sound that will come to his/her personal preference, the manufacturer has provided 6 tracks to choose from. Besides the white noise itself, which is believed to suit almost any person, there are five natural sounds:

• Ocean – you’ll be carried away by pleasant sound of swash, and will finally be able to relax;
• Rain – drops beat irregular rhythm out creating a perfect atmosphere for calm rest;
• Summer Night – gentle breeze will remind you of summer evening beauty;
• Brook –water can calm you down as well as assist in concentrating;
• Thunder – this strong sound is a great way to unwind.

• If you want to rest well every night, a comfortable bed and a mattress are a must. If you aren’t ready to change your old (or not so old but not very comfy) bed, buying a mattress topper will be a great solution. 
• Take notice of temperature conditions. The latest studies have shown that people sleeping without pajamas and blanket need 86-90°F for good rest while 61-66°F will suit those who can’t fall asleep without these things.
• Light is of the utmost importance too. Red light is believed to have a relaxing effect and ensure deep rest. Complete darkness is also great for refreshing sleep.
