White Noise Machine - Sleep Sound Machine with Soothing Sounds Timer & Memory Function for Sleeping & Relaxation, Sleep Therapy for Kid, Adult, Nursery, Home, Office, Travel. Brown Wood Grain

As someone with chronic insomnia, I’ve been on the market for a white noise machine for quite some time. My old machine was big and didn’t look very nice. And the sound was not ideal. I picked up the Douni. Packed responsibly in sturdy cardboard, the Douni Sleep Sound machine looks and feels different than any other I’ve seen. With easily the best faux wood grain finish and texture I’ve ever seen, this is a very handsome unit that would look good on any side table... seriously, the pictures don’t do justice, this looks like real wood. It even feels a bit like wood, but without the weight. I quickly was able to get it set up and plugged in with the extra long usb-type power cord that was provided. It’s a small detail, but usually these kinds of machines have short power cords which are awkward to set up. A short user guide explains the functions of each button, but it’s fairly intuitive. There is a timer function which turns off the sound after a period of time, but it can be disabled so you can run the machine full time, no problem. Volume controls and buttons work well like all Douni products I’ve bought. Three sound selection buttons toggle through the various sounds of each category. I found my favorite sound, “crickets at night” right away. I really like the generous selection of fan sounds and also the noise sounds - white, pink, brown, and other frequencies. The waterfall and creek sounds were also excellent. I’ve made field recordings of nature sounds before myself, I can tell the quality here is unique. What really sets this one from others I’ve tried though, is the lack of an identifieable loop point: each sound plays naturally, with no odd rhythms. The sense of calm I got from the sounds I tried was much deeper than others I’ve tried. The sound is excellent - the noise and fan sounds have lower frequencies present which help mask outside sounds. There is currently a big road project going on right outside my house, but I found a noise sound which effectively canceled the noise from the trucks and the work going on. Remarkable! I love how small it is, how sophisticated it looks, and most importantly how it sounds and performs. I’ve had two solid nights of deep sleep so far and I look forward to using it tonight. If I was to suggest anything it might be those light-up buttons which are present on the A7 Bluetooth speaker, since this is used primarily in a dark room. But that is nit-picking, and would likely add to the price of the unit. This is a simple, elegant, effective noise machine which is more relaxing than others I’ve tried. I definitely recommend it.

I use white noise / sound machines for privacy during my work with clients as well as for relaxation. This Douni product (Douni is a company I have had one interaction with thus far, when I purchased their truly unbelievable Bluetooth speaker model A5 at the recommendation of Oluv from Oluv's Gadgets - and boy, was he right on the money - you can't get a better BT speaker for the price) is stylish, cost-effective and nearly flawless. Pros: Design - wood grain look, stylish and compact. Buttons are clearly marked. Usability - easy to operate even without reading the manual. From unboxing to operation, less than a minute. Features and options - 10 natural sounds (from birds, to stormy weather, heartbeat, train motion, etc.) - there's something for everyone, and they are non-looping, which is nice. I mean, they may eventually loop, but I have not noticed the loop. 7 unique fan sounds. 7 unique white noise sounds. The volume is loud and the sound is clear. There's a timer feature with 30, 60, and 90 minute options. Value - $33.95 for the unit, plus a USB 110V/240V 5V 1.0A charger feels like a very good price to me. $29.99 would be perfect. Areas for improvement in v2: Bluetooth speaker option - Douni, come on, with your Bluetooth speaker quality, couldn't you add a Bluetooth speaker functionality to this device? Seems too obvious to miss... Rechargeable battery operation option - this may have caused a price increase, but - it also allows for untethered operation which allows for quick relocation in the room. USB charging cable - instead of a USB A to proprietary connector, how about a USB A to micro USB or USB C?

I am a person who has had trouble falling asleep due to a racing mind, thinking about past and future issues with work, money, life dramas in general. I was always curious about sound machines, and not knowing anyone who owned one, never made a purchase thinking it was a possible waste of money. I received an amazon gift card for my birthday, I really didn't need/want anything, so I decided to research sound machines. I looked at many styles, names etc. Prices ranged from $18-$80. I read many reviews for each of these. I settled on this unit, as it was mid priced ($35) and my thinking was not to spend all of my gift card because if I hated it, it would be an "oh well" purchase. WELL I'm here to tell you that I made the smartest purchase of my life up to this point. I used to take sleeping pills EVERY night just to get to sleep. I do not do this anymore! Set up was so easy, just plug it in, turn it on and "play". It has fan noises(which I don't need because I have a fan), it has white noise which I am hesitant to use, due to thinking it will invite spirits to talk to me. (LOL) I LOVE the natural sounds however. I love the thunder storm, but alas, it freaks out my dog, so we've been listening to "waves". I kid you not when I tell you each night I turn it on, I am asleep within 20 minutes! This unit is small, fits anywhere. It has no night light, which I read on other units. I was navigating the buttons in the dark the first night. The sound quality is excellent & I'm not hearing any "looping" which seemed to be issues with other units I had researched. I used to fall asleep with the TV on, but would always wake up and struggle finding the remote to shut the TV off, which would make it hard to fall back asleep. This unit has a 30,60 & 90 minute timer that turns off the unit. first few nights I had it set for 60 minutes, and as I've said, within 20, I was out. Now, I keep it going all night, so if I do wake, I am lulled back to sleep within 10 minutes. I'm also getting deeper sleep & feel more awake during the day, I have more energy because I am sleeping through the entire night. If your like me, who finds it hard to fall asleep & stay asleep I can not recommend this enough. I just wish I had purchased a sound machine years ago.

I ordered this with the high hopes of getting a better sleep because everything wakes me up. I purchased this with a pair of wired earbuds that are so small and soft that I can’t feel them when I sleep on my side. The machine works great with and without the earbuds!! Lots of sound options to choose from!! Zzzzzz

Surprising really great actually! Lots of great options for the noise types! My kid falls asleep to the pink noise every night.

This machine has a lot of sounds to choose from , but there are only a few I like and find relaxing. Maybe there will only be a few for most people and they will be different for different people, I guess, but I can't imagine anyone falling asleep to some of them. The other con is that the sound quality is not top notch. On the pro side, it is easy to set a timer to have it on for a half hour, an hour or hour and a half, or continuously. I have found an hour and a half to be perfect for a good nights sleep. The light that shows it is on is tiny and does not really cast much light, so it doesn't interfere with sleep.The device looks really nice and doesn't take up too much space. Over all it is helpful, although I question if I could not have gotten a better one for less money. Perhaps my expectations are too high for the sound quality of a fourty nine dollar machine. The sound quality is not terrible but the speaker lacks clarity. It's way better with earphones, but I don't want to use those for sleeping.

I purchased this white noise maker to help drowned out my neighbours and their noisy jacuzzi motor, of which they're oblivious too. So far, it seems to fit the bill quite nicely. It has a multitude of relatively good quality sounds which is coupled with a good speaker. The stylish casing is also very welcome as it can fit in a wide array of different home decor tastes. I'm now considering purchasing a second unit for another area of the house. I would recommend this handy little peace maker!

Has a big variety of sounds and it works great for my home office space and my bedroom as well! I’m ordering another one so I don’t have to keep moving this one! Love it!
