My grandson has always had insomnia. He will lay awake for hours, just staring at the ceiling. We have tried essential oils, melatonin, relaxation exercises, etc, to no avail, so when I saw a chance to review the White Noise Machine, I thought, "Why not?"
The White Noise Machine arrived nicely packaged, and could easily be given as a gift the way it is boxed. It was also well-packaged. It did require three AA batteries (not included) to operate. It does include an AC adapter for plugging in if you don't want to use batteries.
To operate, just pop off the battery cover on the bottom, insert the batteries, put the cover back on, and you are ready to listen to the sounds.
The noise machine plays 8 different sounds - Rain sounds, Bird sounds, Babbling Brook sounds, 2 Lullaies, Ocean sounds, and a Thunderstorm!My personal favorite is the thunderstorm. I love storms. You can set the timer for however long you want the sounds to play - 5, 15, 30 minutes or you can set a full night sleep timer. The sound machine also tells the time and date, which were easy to set. Some of the sounds seem to be a bit muffled.
I do feel like the volume is too loud for me personally. I placed a handtowel over it, and that helped. My grandson really likes it. So far, it doesn't help with his sleep, but I didn't really expect it to, as we've tried so many other things, but he likes listening to it, and he seems to be relaxed, so that is a plus.
I would like to be able to dim the lights on the clock, also. I can't sleep with bright LED lights in the room. This, too, can be covered with something to cut out the light.
All in all, we like the noise machine. It needs a few improvements, but as long as my grandson enjoys listening to it, I'm happy.
