ABOUT
===========================
White noise machines are useful if you'd like to mask external noise that's disrupting your sleep, work, or study. By listening to a constant sound of your choosing, you're less likely to notice abrupt changes in the background noise. They can also be relaxing to listen to, particularly deeper pink or brown noise, fan sounds, and nature sounds.
In the video, I start off by explaining why I think there are several good white noise machines rather than an obvious winner. And why understanding the range of sounds they offer (white noise, fan and/or nature sounds) and the extra features are key to finding the right white noise machine for you personally.
As an overview, I recommend the LectroFan Evo for white noise and fan sounds, as well as loud volume. The Sound+Sleep has the widest range of nature sounds. The Marpac Uno has an internal fan that creates an authentic rushing air sound. The LectroFan Micro 2 is my favorite for travel. The Dreamegg D3 is a good mid-range option. The Big Red Rooster lets you use normal AA batteries.
If you have any questions, or comments about the devices in the video, please share them with me and I'll reply below. - Věda a technologie
I don’t know what I would do without honest reviews like this. We need more people like you in the world. Thanks for making the world a better place!
Thank you for your very kind words Cenk. I really appreciate the positive feedback!
so do these devices only "add" noise to mask the real noise? I always hoped there'd be some secret technology that would actually subtract sound or make it disappear entirely..
@@slaveNo-4028 They do add noise to mask the real noise. The idea is that the constant sound is better than intermittent sound, or simply just more relaxing than an annoying external noise.
He's doing a public service.
Sleep deprivation due to my neighbor/landlord letting his dog bark for 20-30 min in the middle of the night and early morning brought me here. Thank you for your review, pretty sure it’s going to save my life
Oh, that must be difficult. You might find white noise isn't the right thing if the dogs are extremely loud. Have you tried earplugs, or white noise with headphones in?
Oh, jeez. I feel your pain. I live in an apartment and I have to deal with dogs barking across the hall and also downstairs. I love dogs. But, I can't stand owners who don't train their pets.
These people shouldn't be allowed to have animals. I've had the same issue with my neighbors before. Only absolutely terrible people allow that kind of thing to happen, plain and simple.
I really really like these washing machine sounds on CZcams. Seriously one of the most relaxing background sounds to me. As weird as this is, the sound of someone distantly vacuuming will put me in the best sleepy mode.
Hi Bonnie, it's good to hear from someone who likes those sounds, as not everyone finds them so relaxing.
I started using one because of annoying noises outside.
But now I use it because it's too quiet at night without it!
Maybe you could wean yourself off with lower volume each night?
@@nosleeplessnights1 well I don't necessarily consider it to be a bad thing. I'm happy to continue using it 👍
Wow, same here, can't sleep when it's too quiet so I use my fan everyday
@@coolamericano I also use my fan but the winter is coming so its getting cold😢.
Thank you for this review. This was very well done. You’ve helped me decide which device is right for me.
You're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful, and thanks for taking the time to say so, as it's always encouraging to hear:-)
Dude thanks for this !!! My buddy used to have a super old antique “ Air machine “ that was literally just a metal cylinder with 1 button / 1 fan sound / 1 volume haha…. The most basic thing ever was an absolute treasure, looks like these came a long way
You're welcome Aaron. That antique machine sounds interesting...
I use a fan too lol it cancel sounds very well
Thank you, this was immensely helpful! I used your link to order the Marpac Uno.
You're welcome Allison - thanks for the feedback and for using my link, which is always appreciated:-)
Great review, helped me decide what I wanted for my first sound machine !
Thanks, I'm really happy to hear the review was useful. Which one did you go for?
A brilliant review.If only other reviews would be as clear and in depth as this one. Brilliant 10/10
Thanks for the very kind words Robert!
Thanks you for this review. 2 months I got the Evo based off this review and it's worked out better than I expected.
If you ever make another in depth review for something like sleep masks, I would be one happy person;)
Seriously though, this video helped a lot.
That's great to hear! I'm always happy to know a video was useful, and the viewer actually liked the product they got from my recommendation:-) I've been thinking about doing a sleep mask comparison for ages actually. Not sure I'll get around to it this year, but it's on the to-do list!
Yeah, how loud is that puppy? I need it swamp cooler loud... ha.
Thank you for this clear concise and detailed description. Your presentation is a pleasure to listen to. Love that British accent!
Thanks Anne! I always appreciate some positive feedback. And it's nice to know my accent is tolerable:-)
Something to keep in mind, the mind can identify patterns extremely well(survival) even in our sleep. The key advantage to the marpac is the non repeating full bodied white noise. Without a better speaker you can't get the low end waves that the marpac can achieve. The white noise is much richer than the others.
Hi K, I agree that the white noise machines with a real fan inside them do have something none of the others have. If it had a few more options, such as volume adjustment and timers, I'd be much more positive about it. That's why I liked the Snooz so much, which I reviewed after I did this video. It's just a shame it's so expensive because otherwise the balance of real fan and extra features is great.
@@nosleeplessnights1 I have a Dohm, it's just like the marpac but it's got two speed settings.
@@kato1kalin I think it probably is the Marpac. The company merged with Yogasleep, so now they removed the word Marpac and just call it Dohm. The two speed version is similar to the model in my review, just with two speeds as the name suggests! I had one before, and found it gives more flexibility to adjust the sound and volume. I'd still like to see more options in future models, particularly more fan speed options as the Snooz has. That one has 10 volume settings, which is essentially just 10 fan speed settings. I'm sure they could do the same with the Dohm.
@@kato1kalinYou have a good point there, brain easily recognises patterns and in some low quality electronic noise machines you can hear click where the loops attach to each other.
There are some great loopless noise Android apps where you can't detect repeating loops because it continously generates noise, no loops. "Noise Wall" by Mynio Tech being one of them. Highly recommended.
Very helpful video, thank you! We are planning a family trip this summer and I’m trying to find a way to negate snoring, since we’ll all be sharing a room.
You're welcome, I'm happy to hear it was helpful. To be honest, if you're sleeping next to a person snoring, a white noise machine is unlikely to help much. Perhaps if you sleep in separate beds with a bit of space between them, and put the machine in between you at head height, it might help a little. But if it's loud snoring, you'll still hear it and then just end up with two loud noises in the room instead of one. You might be better off getting some decent earplugs and/or using noise-cancelling headphones. Ideally, the person snoring would take some steps to reduce it for everyone else's sake if it's possible.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for one. I appreciate your honest feedback!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the great review with links to purchase and even time stamp for each. Only wish the music volume in between each was much, much lower in volume... :-)
You're welcome Jim, and thanks for the compliment. The constructive criticism is also very useful, so thanks for that too!
Thank you for your review this is so helpful. I'm thinking about getting the Sound+Sleep, but I'm curious which one do you think is the best for external noises (loudest)?
You're welcome Denicia - good to know it was helpful. The Sound+Sleep is a great choice and pretty loud comparatively. But the LectroFan Evo is louder I think, though in a bedroom they would both do a good job of blocking out noise at louder volume levels.
@@nosleeplessnights1 thanks so much for this...now I can drown out the noisey neighbors upstairs! 😩
Thanks for your review, it is very helpful! I find your video production professional, nice calm voice and good information. Also like the tune in between the products as well. Keep it up the good work! By the way: I will make sure to use one of your Amazon links when I decide to purchase one (leaning towards #1 for now).
Hi Benny! Thank so much for the positive feedback and kind words - I really appreciate it! Thanks also for thinking of using my links. Please note that some of my links now go to the soundofsleep website, which is the manufacturer of the Lectrofan and Sound+Sleep range. I have a promo deal with them, so you can get them for a better price.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Thanks for your help Ethan! I live in the Netherlands, so I will have to order it from the UK probably. No problem, I will certainly use your link when I do decide to order it.
@@nosleeplessnights1 I think you might be right. I actually prefer the LectroFan Classic. It's a bit cheaper and the speaker points straight up. Also from some other reviews they say the Classic sound quality is slightly better. Quick question: Do you happen to have an Amazon link (UK) for the Classic or can I just use the one for Evo? I'd be happy to use that link. Thanks!
I think I found the link for the Classic czcams.com/video/XzPTJozXjZ4/video.html thanks again!
Sorry, I missed these comments for some reason. Thanks for digging out the link though - I really appreciate that:-)
Great video! Thanks a lot. Does the LectroFan Micro 2 have the same cool "Whooop" transition sound as the other full size LectroFan models? Also do you have a referral link to purchase? Be happy to give you credit.
Hi! Thanks for the compliment:-) I don't believe it has a whoop noise transition - at least mine doesn't seem to. You can find links to buy them if you click 'more' below the video. Thanks for thinking of me that way - it's much appreciated.
This is great information... I’m such a light sleeper .. I’ve come to the conclusion I need a fan or white noise. Started my search for a fan that doubles as white noise but most are sold as “quiet”. Now need to decide on one from your video! I will use your link. 🙂🙂
Thanks Melanie, both for the compliment and decision to use my link - both are very much appreciated! Yes, it's strange that just when you want a noisy fan, many are made to be quiet these days! A larger and cheaper, not very well made one is more likely to be noisy, but also more likely to break in less time. Or maybe not - I had an old fan that lasted for years! Hopefully a white noise machine will work well for you though:-)
Thank you! My roommates are up late and the LectroFanEvo seems to be the best choice for me. Excellent review!
Thanks Ben, I appreciate the positive feedback. I hope the Evo works out well for you.
This video is a few years old, but I just heard about white noise machines.I have a neighbour who snores so loud I can hear it through the wall and it's driving me insane! I have to sleep with ear plugs every night, but now my ears won't breathe during the night and they get itchy. This is very helpful so I can hear what sounds these machines include.
It is indeed a bit old now, but most of the devices are still available. I would also still rate the LectroFan Evo very highly if I did the video again today! Good luck combatting the snoring. Some deep pink or brown noise should hopefully help.
🙂Very helpful review on Sound+Sleep! I just purchased one second hand and didn't know how to use it's 'Adaptive' selection. Now I do. Thanks!
You're welcome, I'm really pleased the video was useful!
I was thinking the Sound+Sleep would be an excellent choice since it gets louder due to external noise, but what if my alarm clock goes off and I sleep through?
Oops.
It doesn't increase the volume so much that you wouldn't hear an alarm set loudly. If the alarm is quiet and the machine volume is already high, then maybe it could be an issue...
Your video was so relaxing I think it would have an even stronger effect than white noise machines 💛 keep up the great work!
Thanks Kozume!
Very well done of all the machines you reviewed!!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome - I'm happy to hear you like the reviews
Thanks for the reviews! they are really helpful!
one question: can you plug the LectroFan to the wall with an adapter? or is it just for a computer?
Yes you can Abi. And I'm glad you liked the reviews:-)
Great review! Thank you so much for going over a lot of the sounds on each machine. Very helpful. It really shows the range of sounds available, and which I wouldn’t bother with (some of those “nature” sounds on CZcams white noise videos really sound like a toilet that is continually running or sizzling bacon.) Very, very helpful in my decision on which white noise machine to get. That sound + sleep sounds interesting, with so many choices, and I love that it has the option to adjust ambient sound. I actually have a Marpac, which I find loud enough for me. Too loud, actually. I just don’t like that it only has the one sound option, and only 2 volume options. Anyway thanks again for the great thorough review. Hope you got all of those machines donated to you!
Hi there. Thanks for the positive feedback - I really appreciate, and I'm happy to hear the video was useful. I agree about a lot of sounds that are recorded not being particularly good. The other day I was in the woods where there was some beautiful birdsong that I loved. I had the thought that it would be interesting for people who really love nature sounds to get a reasonable microphone and record a place where they actually went in person and felt especially happy and relaxed. Then they could play their own audio at night that would help transport them back to that place while lying in bed relaxing.
Anyway, as for the white noise machines, I agree it's a shame the Marpac (now YogaSleep) devices had no volume control. There is a more modern device with an internal fan that does have volume controls - the Snooz. You can find a video of it here on my channel. The only problem is that it's twice as expensive!
@@nosleeplessnights1 that’s a great idea about recording ones own nature sounds. I might try that.
I have small birds and live in a big city, downtown. One of my birds lived in a home a couple of blocks from the beach before she came to me, so I play ocean sounds for her near her cage to try to help her sleep to mask city sounds. The ones I’ve found on CZcams often have bird noises, which trigger birds (and ads.) So that’s a great idea to go out to the beach at night and record my own!
Let me know if you make the recording and if it works for you!
Really top quality reviews. Exceptionally helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for your very kind words too!
Great set of reviews and so helpful for me as I suffer awful tinnitus and white noise is essential for a good night's sleep, which I've not had lately due to my last machine breaking. Good work.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my reviews:-) I also have mild tinnitus, so I can understand where you're coming from. I hope you like whichever white noise machine you choose.
Hello Ethan, thank you so much for your great review. I am wondering, which sound is the best to reduce television sounds from my neighbours apartment..
You're welcome Michelle! It's hard to say really - normally I'd recommend experimenting with different sounds, placement and volume as it can vary by situation as to what works best. I'd imagine just standard white noise, rain or waterfall would block it better than birdsong, for example.
Thank you for your channel! Made a purchase based on a few of your reviews and I couldn't be happier. Sanity saver, you! Thank you!
You're welcome, and that's great to hear! What did you get, out of curiosity?
@@nosleeplessnights1 LetroFan. Simple, loud and gets the job done! Hopefully, the next upgrade will include an internal rechargeable battery.

@@antonygallion6778 no problem, and thank you:-)
Thanks for this helpful review. What is the app you used at the end? You could layer multiple sounds on top of each other.
You're welcome. It's simply called 'white noise generator'. You can recognize it by its symbol with multicolored stripes and white bars in the middle.
Thanks for this video! I had no idea there was a mini sound machine! I use a sound machine every night an I'm getting ready to travel so deff buying a letrofan micro 2 it will be great not having to pack up my big sound machine!
You're very welcome Erin. I'm glad the video provided some new options for you, and I hope that one works out well if you do decide to get it. It's definitely considerably smaller than most standard white noise machines.
Very good review and video. Straight to the point and good commentary.
Thanks Jack, I really appreciate the positive feedback!
We used to love the Dohm, but they are now owned by a company named Yogasleep and they started using cheaper internals. Our last model was about 10 years old before it started making a clicking noise. The new one never really worked right on the low setting and high had a very subtle rattle. After about a year, it started screaming, suggesting a bearing went out. We're going with a SNOOZ instead since it uses the same concept and looks like it uses higher quality components.
Hi. I can't comment on that as I haven't taken then apart to check, and there is nothing on their website (obviously) about using cheaper components. However, I recently played an original Marpac and a new Yogasleep model, and they sound the same to me. Having said that, I do agree that the Snooz is very good. It's considerably more expensive, and annoying that some features are only accessible via the app, but it is better in general I think. I have a video of the Snooz here in case you didn't see it: czcams.com/video/YAwev6ZN_G4/video.html
Nice video really looking to buy one I'm a white noise person. Have you ever tried the brookstone soundmixer one I was curious about that.
I haven't tried it, no. I just took a look online and it seems interesting, so I'll add it to my to do list!

very helpful thank you. from another review also found this unit very interesting Douni Sleep Sound Machine, any thoughts? i would compare to Avantek but different less modern design that may better appeal to some people especially if you would like to keep it in a living room.
I haven't tried the Douni. But from what I can gather, it's basically the same as the Dreamegg D3, which I have reviewed. I imagine the manufacturer is selling the units to different third party sellers to rebrand how they want to and sell on Amazon - a common occurrence with cheap tech these days in my experience.
Hi Ethan, thank you so much for this video! It is very helpful
You're welcome Victoria, I'm glad to hear it was helpful:-)

You're welcome - sorry, I have no idea. We got it second hand ages ago!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome, I'm glad the video was useful.
Thank you for the honest review. Im a light sleep with very loud neighbors who have parties. So I'm in the market for one of these
You're welcome. I hope you have some success with the noise masking!
thanks for your videos! wondering which sound machine you feel has the best sound quality with the longest loops?
Hi Ben, you're welcome and I'm glad you liked them! For just white noise and fan sounds, I would say the LectroFan - the original or the Evo are both great.
For nature sounds, probably the Sound+Sleep has the least detectable loops, followed by the Avantek I would say. I also like the speaker quality of both of those compared to the others, though the Dreamegg is pretty good too.
But there will almost always be some looping with these devices, unless the machine dynamically generates the sounds, like the LectroFan does with the ocean sounds.
But they can't generate sounds which are less like white noise, like bird song or thunder. Whether it's an annoying 30 second loop with very noticeable loud 'squarks' from the same bird, just one repeated thunder clap, or a couple of minutes with a little less obvious sound repetition sadly comes down to the price in my experience.
Almost always, it seems that around the $20 price mark = very noticeable looping and poorer speaker quality. $40-100 = usually better recordings, though even some of the more expensive devices still managed to skip the quality control line in the manufacturer's design process!
@@nosleeplessnights1 I really appreciate your reply! I went with the Sound + Sleep mini. I'm an instrument builder, and the plan is to install this into a guitar. If it works, I'll send you a video! thanks again
Hi Ethan…. Thanks for all your reviews, they’re very helpful. Can you please advise me, I’m trying to find the machine that offers the most nature sounds. I know that the Sound + Sleep has a wide variety but it’s a bit of an ugly brick with the cheap looking shiny buttons. I was considering the Lumie luxe, it can do a lot but a couple of reviews said that the speaker quality isn’t good in relative to the £200 price tag. I’m considering the Yogasleep dreamcenter or duet as the sounds are quite nice. Hatch baby rest is another possibility but I can’t find the Hatch restore in the UK and the same goes for the Loftie clock unfortunately.
I’m really looking for rainforest sounds and tropical birds.
What do you think Ethan? can you advise me pls on which is best for nature sound inc speaker quality. Perhaps you know of some I haven’t mentioned. Thanks.
Hi Charlie. You're very welcome. I know what you mean about the Sound+Sleep - the design is starting to look a bit dated, but it does have a good selection of sounds. Honestly, if you're looking for something that specific - just forest and birds, I would be tempted to get a decent Bluetooth speaker and use an app on your phone. That way you can try lots of different ones until you find one that has the best nature sounds. If you have a smart speaker, you could also use that to play longer recordings of nature sounds.
However, if you're looking for a white noise machine specifically, then really it's difficult to suggest one with great nature sounds as they all have shortish loops and a limited number of sounds. The Hatch restore is good, as you say, if you can get it. Of the machines I've reviewed recently, I'm not sure I'd recommend any as having such good forest sounds it's worth buying it just for that. You'd be paying £30-100 just for 2-3 minutes of sound.
Thanks for the review! I was leaning towards the 3rd one, but after I saw the apps i think I’ll do that. I’m currently streaming 10 hour CZcams ambient videos with black screen but it uses up a lot of data!
You're welcome Jaden. Yes, an App will be a lot more efficient than streaming videos all night!
Especially amiss if you get YT adds in the middle of the night.

@@nosleeplessnights1 Marpac classic..fingers crossed
Let me know if you like it when you've had a chance to try it. I'd love to know your thoughts on the trade-off between the natural sound and the lower volume than some other devices.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Marpac too high pitched. I've realized that I need a low pitch fan noise. Which Lectrofan would you recommend?
That's a shame. Yes, it is quite high-pitched. Both the Evo and the Classic are very good. Have you seen my video comparing the two of them? You can listen to all their sounds in that video: czcams.com/video/byejKgbnPSI/video.html
So very glad I found this channel. I have always struggled with noise hypersensitivity & when I try to explain people do not understand. I have now been diagnosed autistic. I literally hear noises other people don’t notice & to make things worse my husband recently decided to start snoring ridiculously loud every night. Ear plugs have never worked for me but I only recently today became aware conductive hearing. The irony of it is, as a child I couldn’t hear properly!
Hi, I'm happy to hear you like the channel. Snoring is a tricky one to deal with - earplugs are usually the best bet for me, but then I've been able to test close to 50 different types spanning many years, so I have found the perfect ones for me. I haven't done a video on snoring, but I do have a written article on my website with some tips that you might find helpful: www.nosleeplessnights.com/sleep-with-a-snorer/
@@nosleeplessnights1 I’m autistic & hypersensitive to sounds & I just realised that all my issues are to do with conductive hearing. Thank you. I am now testing out different background sounds. Ear plugs are no defence against conductive sounds!
Good luck with the search! I'd love to know what you found most helpful when you've done some tests:-)
@@nosleeplessnights1 brown noise does seem to be quite calming...
Yes, I like brown noise too. Basically any deeper sounding noise that seems closer to a powerful waterfall than old TV static!
Great reviews. I can't help but notice the Big Red Rooster is entirely white. You would think they would have made it red for marketing purposes - or at least have a logo of a red rooster! ;-) Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews - very helpful.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I agree, and have joked about that a couple of times. Maybe adding the logo to the device would have pushed the price up. Who knows!
Excellent!
Going to order the first device you demonstrated. I'd been using my smart phone but decided to purchase a dedicated device in case I'm watching CZcams at the time etc.
Thanks amen!
You're welcome James. I'm glad the video was useful, and I hope the Evo works out well for you.
Hello Ethan, thank you for this video. Is there any machine you would recommend for masking dog barks? My neighbour's have them on the balcony and they wake me up every night. Thank you in advance :)
You're welcome. Unfortunately, I don't know of one that has a specific noise that works well with dogs. They are just so loud, it's hard to block them out! I imagine earplugs would be the best bet really.
Thanks so much for this review! It has been really helpful. We are trying to find a louder noise machine for our newborn than the one we have.
You're welcome. Just keep in mind that some experts advise not to play white noise loudly to young kids.
@@nosleeplessnights1 oh I didn’t realize that. Thank you again!

Thank you so much. I chose the Lectro Fan Evo based on your review.
You're very welcome, and that's a good choice. I hope it works well for you!
my computer makes white noise
Thanks tons for this! Do you know if these are good for tinnitus?
Some people say white noise helps. I'd test it out with a phone app or youtube on any speaker first. If that works for you, then these devices probably will too. The exception might be the ones with internal fans if you discover it's standard white noise you need rather than a gentle fan.
wow this is just SO helpful!! thank you :) :)
You're welcome, glad it was helpful Gillian:-)
Fine reviews & Thanks!
You're welcome Tony, and thank you for the positive words - always appreciated:-)
Thank you for this review! Is there a certain machine you would recommend for thunder noise specifically? Also do you happen to know the name of the app you used?
You're welcome Jenna. Honestly, I don't think any of them stand out particularly with their thunder recordings. The speakers tend to struggle a little with the deep rumbling noise, and the recordings are often quite short and repetitive just by the nature of how many thunder claps makes sense to put into a 1-4 minute loop I think. It's easier to create a more random sounding loop if its a constant noise like rain or waterfalls. So honestly, I wouldn't feel right in recommending any of them if thunder is the one you like best, as I don't want you to spend your money on my recommendation and then be disappointed when you realise it only has two or three variations of the thunder claps! I'd suggest trying a couple of free apps instead to see if you can find one with less repetition. And about the app - it's simply called white noise generator. You'll know it by the colorful icon with the angled grid pattern.
@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you! This was very helpful!
No problem:-)
DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYBODY WOULD DISLIKE AN HONEST VIDEO LIKE THIS 🤔🤦. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE A PERSON PRESSED DISLIKE BUTTON SUCH A THING.
Thanks for the support! As long as it's not an avalanche of dislikes, it's kind of useful for me to see which videos people like or don't like, so I can continually improve. I'm still such an amateur at making videos!
That's assuming everyone judges the video based on the way I did it, not on whether they like the product(s) or not! Otherwise I'd be in trouble...
But really, considering I make videos criticizing products that could affect someone's business, I should be willing to accept criticism in return.
Thanks all the same though. On a personal level as someone sat at home with a coffee reading comments and hoping they aren't soul-destroying, ones like yours put a smile on my face:-)
I bought the 'LectroFan EVO, based on your review. Very pleased. Thanks.
You're welcome, and I'm glad to hear you like it.
Thank you sir . It’s was very helpful for me.
You're welcome Ab!
Hello, thank you for this video🙏 based on your experience which machine you recommend as more loud for avoid outside noises during the day?
You're welcome! For loud volume, the LectroFan Evo, LectroFan Classic, or Dreamegg D3 Pro. Also, any decent Bluetooth speaker and an app will do the trick🙂
I've had good experience with binaural frequencies (423 hz especially), for sleep and relaxation purposes. Do any of these machine include some similar frequency in their white noises?
P.S.: Least to say, good review. Really helps me in deciding which features are best for me :D
Hi Enzo, not that I know of. I think you'd need to use an app to get binaural beats.
Even when I am awake I like to have some background noise...when winter comes and the air conditioner gets turned off that silence is strange...I have needed to get one of these for years
I was literally thinking the same thing this week, as the air con finally going off has meant our dog is waking up at 6am when the garbage trucks come by! And he in turn wakes me up. Time to test white noise on the dog I think...
I bought the Sound Oasis reluctantly while on a trip at a mall bc l was desperate for sleep and it ended up being a nice little sidekick that l will be bringing on every single vacation!
Sounds like a lucky find then:-)
Guys, this stuff simply WORKS. End of discussion. My problem is getting addicted to it. I now feel like I need to take that with me when I travel and pretty much have it on all the time.
Another issue that I have is that I sleep way to hard. It feels like if there is a burglary happening, I won't hear anything because I am sleeping like a baby.
Hi Raul, I can relate to the first point. If I don't use earplugs or listen to something to block sound, I just can't sleep unless I'm utterly exhausted!
This was very helpful, thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you for the review it was really useful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your introduction.
You're welcome, glad you liked it.
Thank you very much for this review. I am finding it impossible to find out if my preferred choice, the Lectrofan comes with a three prong UK/Irish plug. I can't plug it into my plugged in laptop every night with a USB cable. Or can it use a phone charger with UK plug. I am a technophobe and just want something I can plug directly into wall. Desperate to block our bass from next door and would very much appreciate your response. Greetings from Dublin!
You're welcome! I've bought both the classic and the Evo when I've been in the UK, and both times they came in a box with a UK three prong plug, as well as an adaptor for the EU if I remember rightly. So you should be fine. On another note, you can buy three prong plugs with USB outlets pretty cheaply, so then you can plug in your devices to the wall even if they only have a USB cable.
I just came back to say I needed a new sound machine (old one was intermittently shutting off after 10 years) so I purchased the Lectrofan based on this video and it’s AMAZING and I thank you for this video.
That's great to hear! I'm very happy you're happy with the decision if it was my video that inspired you to buy it.
I was young in the 50`s. Slept in the basement. Just outside the door the water heater was old and boiled loudly. Believe it or not I grew use to it. Ha Ha/
Well, eventually we have to adapt to the noise in our environment if we can't change it, block it, or move house!
I came here looking for info since i struggle to sleep.. but this video actually relaxed me, hell no im not buying anything i found what i was looking for 👏👏👏
Your not the first person to make me think I should do an 8 hour video in which I just talk in a really monotonous way about white noise machines! It wouldn't do much good for my income, but if I can bore the world to sleep, I guess it would be good for the soul at least...
@@nosleeplessnights1 this mad shouting world now days needs more people with a soft soothing voice, cheers x
very helpful, thank you
You're welcome, I'm glad the video was useful:-)
Thank you so much! Very helpful.
You're welcome!
Hi hi!! Thank you so much for this! I just moved to a new much louder neighborhood, right on an intersection. So I hear horns, cars, bikes, all of it. Which would you recommend to drown that out?
You're welcome Tiffany. That's a really tough one. My first thought would be the LectroFan Evo because it is pretty loud, and you can try the headphone jack to block out the noise better. But busy roads are hard to block out. My feeling is good earplugs with or without white noise too might be worth trying - as well as trying to reduce the sound actually coming through your window in the first place.
Love the channel name 👌
Very helpful - thank you!
You're very welcome Victoria!
Thank you so much for this, lacking sleep for years and extremely light sleeper.... I am going insane and it's ruining my day-mood as well.
You're welcome. I hope you manage to find a solution and sleep better.
I love the review very helpful. I believe this will help by cancelling noise coming from me that scare my neighbors every night.. I scream out in my sleep sometimes I even sleep talk they think I'm posses but I don't have the money to buy the machine because I live in Africa specifically Nigeria. Subscribed already
Hi ble ble
Glad the review was helpful. To be honest, I don't think it would help much in your situation anyway. To drown out the noise you make, you would need to have it so loud, and right next to an adjoining wall, that the extra sound would probably annoy them just as much. And it is unlikely to block out the sound of screaming.
I think you would have a better long-term outcome if you tried some self-help techniques for sleep talking and nightmares, if that's what is happening. If you can see a doctor, that might help to get a diagnosis. But if not, there are lots of good websites with techniques for relaxation before going to bed and other steps you can take which might help reduce how disrupted your sleep is. In some cases, just spending some time before going to sleep trying to put your mind at ease and in a relaxed state can help.
So if it were me, rather than spending money on a machine which probably won't help, I'd look at free ways to tackle the root of the problem. And in this case, information is key:-)
All the best!
Thank you so much for the suggestions!
You're so welcome! I hope you found one you like (and that it's still available!).
Yeah! I picked the Lectrofan because it’s portable and doubles as a blue tooth speaker, win-win!
Let me know what you think of it once you've had a chance to use it:-)
Thanks for your help 👍🏽👍🏽
You're very welcome!
Which one has the loudest white noise/fan option? I currently use a Dohm on the loudest setting for most nights and also have a '90s air purifier when I need to drown out the noise of the city and my neighbors. I'm looking for something to replace the enormous air purifier volume-wise.
Hi Natalie, that would be the LectroFan Evo, or even the LectroFan classic if you prefer.
Thanks for the help 💙
You're welcome Megan!
Thank you this was great 👍🏼
You're very welcome - glad you liked the video!
Helpful video thanks.
You're welcome!
thank-you for your review I'm going to buy the dream egg or the Ventech. Thank-you
You're welcome. The Dreamegg is a good choice. Please note that the rechargeable Avantek is no longer available. The orginal Avantek is still a good option though, as long as you don't mind not having an internal battery.
Very helpful! Thank you
You're welcome Eliana!
