Housbay White Noise Machine with 31 Soothing Sounds 5W Loud Stereo Sound Auto-Off Timer Adjustable Volume Sleep Sound

We normally use our windows air conditioner for a background noise to drown out barking dogs etc. I just did not want to do this again all winter when we need no cooling. This device has a fan noise position to select. It sounds almost exactly like our air conditioner sounds. We are used to that sound and it works very well. It also has enough volume. Most of these devices have very poor devices and I wound up throwing one away because it could not be turned up. This device is not even run at full volume. I strongly recommend this device to drown out noise that might wake you up. It is also a noise for us that we are very used to hearing. This was a great buy. If I could change anything about it that would be to put it have this built in a basic square box to facilitate easy mounting and stacking something on top of it. A very small criticism. Read more

Unfortunately my wife has just come down with a medical condition related to tinnitus. Among other things, this problem has ruined her sleep, causing her to awaken several times a night and then having difficulty falling back to sleep. She saw a neurologist who suggested, in addition to being tested in the next week or so, she should get a white noise machine. We came home from the neurologist's office and immediately began looking here on Amazon. I looked (on my computer) and she looked (on hers). I had picked about six of them, including this one but she picked this one only. She said that this < Housbay White Noise Machine with 31 Soothing Sounds, 5W Loud Stereo Sound, Auto-Off Timer, Adjustable Volume, Sleep Sound Machine for Baby, Kid, Adult -Wood Grain > is just what she wanted. It does not have a nightlight, which we do not need or want, and its wood-grain design is very nice and fits well into our bedroom. I immediately ordered it (around 4:00 PM) and, with Amazon's amazing shipping, it arrived around 8:00 PM that evening! We have now used it for two nights running, leaving it on all night. Her preferred setting is White Noise, Lowest Setting with a fairly high volume level. It has been helping her. She has been able to sleep for a much longer period of time and, when she does awaken, this machine overcomes the tinnitus-type problem. I had thought that having this white noise throughout the night would interrupt my own sleep but such has not been the case. The device appears to be very well-constructed of high quality materials and its design is superb. I do not know if the case is actually constructed from wood but, if it’s not, it’s the best simulated wood I have ever seen or felt. We are both very pleased with this device. There are two recommendations I could make to the manufacturer: 1) I wish its auto-off timer had options of 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours, instead of 1, 2, or 3 hours (though we have been leaving it on all night - I just turn it off manually in the morning when we wake up), and 2) I wish its power input port were a standard USB C port rather than the non-standard one it uses; the port it uses would make replacing the cord, were it ever necessary, to be very difficult. However, regarding the last suggestion, the included power cord seems to be very robust and, as we take good care of our devices, I am sure that the cord will last for the life of the machine (which I hope is a very long time). I especially like the fact that it runs solely on AC power and has no built-in non-replaceable battery. (When those batteries "die" in some device - and they WILL die eventually - that's the end of the device, even if it is still working well.) Not that this attribute is too important to us, but this machine has many more (and many more good) sound options than any of the others at which I looked. (Of course the one we use is my wife's pick.) As I mentioned above, we are very pleased with this white noise machine and I will VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT to you. Especially at its price, just $26.99, Amazon's current price, I regard this machine as a genuine bargain. If you need or just want a well-made and well-designed white noise machine, I hope you'll consider this one. I am certain that you'll be just as pleased with yours as we are with ours. Thank you very much for reading my report and for considering my opinions. Lawrence H. Bulk Read more

I bought it because our baby’s room needed something steady to mask creaks and street noise, and I wanted something unobtrusive that wouldn’t wake the whole house. A simple device with a few reliable sounds seemed ideal for helping everyone drift off without drama. In everyday use the sound stays nicely intimate thanks to the forward facing speaker, so I can hear the details at a low volume without blasting the room. The 31 real sounds give me a few comfortable options like rain or gentle ocean, and the volume fades quietly so there are no jarring jumps as I fall asleep or wake in the night. The timer options are convenient, and I like that it can run until morning if needed without me having to reset it. What stood out most is the look. The wood texture and soft curves make it feel calmer on the nightstand than plain white plastic, and the tilt design keeps adjustments easy without having to fumble in the dark. The output feels solid enough to feel premium without being loud or disruptive, which is exactly what I want when someone is trying to sleep next to me. One small caveat is that there are no lights or audible clicks, so in the dark it can be a little tricky to confirm which sound is playing without listening closely or changing settings. Still, the overall experience is very positive and it genuinely helps with sleep, so I’m glad to own it. Read more

Not knowing what I would like after a lot of shopping I ordered 4 different whoice noise machines this being one of them. The others were the Magicteam with 40 sounds (#1), The more compact magicteam with 20 sounds (#2) and the DreamSky with 26 sounds (#3). All were decent but I'd rank this one 4th place of the 4. I hate the white power cord. I mean you have a black face and a white cord ? It's a nit picky thing I know. The sound selection was OK and the sound quality I'd say middle of the road for the ones I bought. Not the best of them for sure. And in spite of that this was the most expensive so it was also easily last in value. It was also the only one that did not come with a printed list of the sounds. A minor annoyance. The controls are easy enough (as were they all) that you don't need instructions. But a sound list for what is linked to each of the category buttons would be nice so you are not left randomly flitting through them. And there is overlap with the categories as far as I could tell. I've run 3 machines at a time at times and I put this one on the far side of the room from my bed turned down very low. Most of the time I just don't bother with it since I have better ones. All in all I would NOT buy this one again knowing what I know now about what I like best. It's not that it is bad. But you can get better ones for less money. Read more
