@shirlema good question. I remember one that was way over 6 seconds of ocean sounds & be awake, as usual, laying there, waiting for the barking of the harbor seal.
@Joedetroit@shirlema I made a ~60 second recording of a nearby babbling brook, then used SW to loop it into about 60 minutes of soothing noise. But at some point in the recording a bird chirped, so when listening to it at night I stay awake waiting for the bird. Sigh…
Rain Sounds HQ on iOS is quite good, decent length clips and you can combine tracks. Free with a text modal you dismiss and a bottom banner ad you don’t need to care about because you’re not exactly going to be watching the screen lol
Also, manufacturer lists 6-color lighting choices. Does this one have selectable color lighting? Or is this the previous T3 version and they didn’t change the model number?
I have more white noise than i can handle, between my ancient fridge & constantly running furnace! Can’t wait for those 20-30 below zero wind chills heading my way for Tues!
@Valued1 Yes, it’s definitely a condition to watch out for. However, I’d be more concerned with dark yellow to orange noises. That’s REALLY dehydrated!
@Kidsandliz That used to be funnier than it is now! We had our workplace heat-treated a couple of years ago when a bedbug fell from somewhere onto a coworker’s desk.
We have two of these machines in our home and even take them traveling. Our daughter has one in her room and we have one in ours. My husband was a little annoyed at the prospect, but once it was time for the window a/c unit to come out (along with the fan noise it creates) I plugged this in and he likes it so much that he’ll turn it on first if he happens to head to bed before me. There are quite a few noises to choose from, but we always use one in particular. The volume settings are nice, and there is a nightlight option, too. Recommend overall. (We use the plug and can’t speak to battery life.)
@larasgambati Since you seem to be one of the few individuals with experience with these: What are your thoughts on one of these for a new baby? My wife is 8 months along and people keep recommending a White Noise machine for when the baby is here. A night light option with something that might be soothing for the baby seems like a pretty good deal.
@larasgambati Ignore my previous comment. My wife just told me someone already purchased a White Noise machine for the baby shower next week thank you regardless!
@accelerator Yes, the night lights are only an option and turn off when not in use. The buttons on top stay aglow for a short time afterwards, but those eventually turn off, too. (Never been an issue for us and we also like darkness while sleeping.)

These sound terrible.
Anyone know if it’s the typical 6 seconds looped? I can hear the patterns and then can’t sleep
@shirlema Try MyNoise.net for an incredible variety of noises,
@shirlema good question. I remember one that was way over 6 seconds of ocean sounds & be awake, as usual, laying there, waiting for the barking of the harbor seal.
@Pamela @shirlema my noise is the bomb!!! They have an app too, but it’s not as robust as their webpage

@Pamela @shirlema Nice, I haven’t tried mynoise it reminds me of ambient-mixer i used to use though so i am excited to give it a shot.

Sounds like noise to me.
I’d rather hear the sounds of a Mehrathon! !
@Lynnerizer Sleep is overrated, huh?
@ircon96
Most definitely!!

@mike808 how long have you been here?
@mike808 If we are trying to sleep having added light isn’t the best choice.
2 equal stereo white noise??
@phelmurh Phel … are you related to the poker player Phil Hellmurth? I think he’s referred to as the Poker Brat of White Noise …
For that Uncle who doesn’t have a phone and isn’t allowed to take Ambien anymore.
@venussuz If your Uncle isn’t using his Ambien anymore, is he willing to share? I have a “friend” that might be interested …
@dskin1127 @venussuz Ambien walrus is NOT a friend
Do the use of two give double the sleep?
@hchavers, No, They make it twice as hard to stay awake!
@hchavers I have 4 white noise machines because I can hear the repeated patterns unless I overlay them on top of each other. Stupid ADHD brain…
My air purifier and fans do just fine, ty.

Oops, started posting my survey answer, i need some damn sleep!
To racist for me!!
@bugger white “privilege” noise. Hmmm. Where Jessie Jackson when you need him
@bugger Black Noises Matter
@bugger @hchavers All Noises Matter
@bugger Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, the Justice Brothers.
@bugger Theses machines are Sleep Extremists. Their agenda is to shut you up or drown you out.
This person’s review makes it seems like a pretty decent white noise machine: https://www.nosleeplessnights.com/letsfit-white-noise-machine-review/
Yellow Noise = Dehydrated? Absolutely brilliant copy writing!
@Valued1 Yes, it’s definitely a condition to watch out for. However, I’d be more concerned with dark yellow to orange noises. That’s REALLY dehydrated!
@dskin1127 @Valued1 If it’s orange you should see a doctor immediately, you have kidney stones or an infection and are bleeding.
Meh model number 5L33P-T16HT
They forgot to add D0N’T l3T TH3 83D 8U95 81T3.

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Giphy can be such a philistine! Oh well, it conveys the horror I’m feeling, i guess! Lol
@ircon96 @Kidsandliz
That IS a pretty funny giphy, but it does get the idea across!
Must have Pink noise. Seriously. Much more soothing, not as harsh.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise
Purple noise FTW. Doesn’t seem very soothing, but at least it’s purple.
@heartny Here’s some real deep purple noise.
Won’t put you to sleep though.
@heartny Unless you are in a purple haze, but that’s a different kind of noise.
@heartny @Barney
For soothing noise, there’s nothing better than the sound of purple rain.
@Barney @heartny @mike808 Oh Cum On!
@heartny @mike808 I love Hendrix, but if I paid money to see him screw up those 2 songs, I’d ask the manager for my buzz back.
This might be an unpopular opinion…
@heartny @mike808, Thanks, for a bit of Purple, man
I’ll stick to ruining my Spotify Wrapped each year with box fan noise.
@dimwittedanimal I too, use spotify for white noise.
Alexa takes care of my sleep sounds.

@larasgambati Ignore my previous comment. My wife just told me someone already purchased a White Noise machine for the baby shower next week thank you regardless!
@larasgambati Are you able to turn the night light completely off? Trying to snuff out lights in the bedroom is a constant battle.
@atx85 For others them who might have the same question, these would probably work very nicely for a baby.
@accelerator Yes, the night lights are only an option and turn off when not in use. The buttons on top stay aglow for a short time afterwards, but those eventually turn off, too. (Never been an issue for us and we also like darkness while sleeping.)
@accelerator @larasgambati if you click the link to the Walmart listing it also mentions 7 different color options for the light.
@atx85 @larasgambati, like talking to a baby in the womb, you can pick out a sound, and play it for the toddler before he, or she is born, JSYK!!
What??!! No bluetooth?? What if I want to hear these without disturbing my significant other?
@eeterrific, You could sleep on da couch,…just a thought!!
Could this be used as a speaker, too, or do they just play the canned sounds?
