Yogasleep Dohm Classic (Black) The Original White Noise Machine, Soothing Natural Sound from a Real Fan, Noise Cancelling for Office Privacy, Travel & Meditation, Sleep Therapy for Adults & Baby

Perfect sound for a great night sleep. Volume isn't too loud, twisting it gives a variety of options. Easy to travel with it's strong and durable design.

I have two of these white-noise machines that I got about 25 years ago, and they still work well. They have a different brand name, but are the same. As I'm writing this, I just turned two of them on to mask the sound of my neighbor's dog barking, and it's 9:45pm. I cannot hear the dog now.I have 4 of these machines spread through my house and I turn them on and off with remote control outlets. If I need just a little white-noise, I turn on a machine that's further away, and if I need lots of white-noise, I turn on one close by or multiple machines. Eventually I will have at least one white-noise machine in every room of my house.

If you need a white noise machine this is the one for you. Works great and worth the price. Definitely recommended.

Very well made and works very well to help me sleep. Love it!

Good

I got this home and my husband said to me, this is just a fan. Okay, well the advertisement does say that, so don't think of it as a sound machine because it is just a fan. Having said that, we did have a sound machine previously and the only setting we used was the wind setting so I didn't see any purpose to purchase another when we never used the other options. The Marpac does not have those repeating sounds that some people like myself can pick up on with sound machines, which is nice. It is consistently the same sound and it's a perfect sound. My only complaint is the volume. Unlike sound machines the Marpac does not go really loud if you would like it to. If you need to drain out a lot of noise, such as traffic or yelling children, this will likely not drain all of it out. So my only complaint is about the volume. I wish I could make it louder, but it's a fan so you don't really have a volume. The turning of the upper and lower dials is supposed to help with this but it still only goes to a certain volume. At times when it's really windy outside, we would turn our sound machine up to cover the outside wind (it's not the same as the sound wind, lol), but we can't do that with this machine. Oh well. So you might ask yourself why not get a fan instead of this. Well, this machine muffles some of the noise that a plain fan makes. Not sure how to explain it other than to say that to me it's similar to putting a muffler on a car, where it's not just the volume but excess noise that comes through when you don't have a muffler if that makes sense.

Update: I ended up buying a second one for my living room! It helps block out my noisy neighor who often plays his music when I'm trying to enjoy a good book in the living room, or just take a catnap on the sofa.For the second unit however, I bought the Camo version which I think works well in the bedroom. You tend to almost subliminally think of nature and the relaxing outdoors with the camo version near you when you're sleeping so I moved the Black one to the living room.--I live less than a mile a way from some train tracks and the train engineers often blow the train horns in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. I have often believed they are doing it out of spite for having to work the overnight shift or something! I also have some neighbors who walk their barky dogs just before they go to bed just outside of where I am already sleeping.The Dohm Classic to the rescue! Sure, silence is best if you can get it. Think a mountain cabin out in the woods or something, I sleep amazing there, but the rest of the time, at home I need the Dohm.It helps isolate you from the outside noise so you can sleep better. Think of it as blackout curtains but for your hearing. (Note: you need blackout curtains too if you don't already have those).Nice mechanical device, made in the USA and classic retro device. I remember seeing these from time to time when I was a kid in the waiting rooms of various doctor's offices; I used to think it was strange as kid but now I totally get it.No looping or pausing of the sound, which is important because if it did, your mind would be anticipating that loop and would keep you awake.I have mine plugged in to a remote switch so I can power it on or off from bed whenever I want. This is very useful since I don't need to have it on while I'm reading in bed, but then when I'm ready for sleep, I can turn it on easily with the remote. Same for when I wake up, I can turn it off while still in bed.Note: I found that there can be a slight high-pitched whine just based on where you have the casing dialed in at, due to the fan resonating but a slight twist of the casing and you can make that go away so the tone is more pleasing.I would really recommend one of these to anyone and can't believe I didn't get one earlier.

Great sound quality I sleep so much better
