Yogasleep Rohm Portable White Noise Sound Machine, 3 Soothing Natural Sounds with Volume Control, Sleep Therapy For Adults, Kids & Baby, Noise Cancelling for Office Privacy & Meditation, Registry Gift

Back in the old days, when I lived in Austin, Texas, and not everyone had air conditioning (it was a LONG time ago), I slept with a fan in the window to try and keep cool at night. It helped ever so slightly. But the interesting result was that the sound of the fan drowned out the sound of the neighborhood, thereby decreasing the incidence of noise intrusion into my sleep. I found that even after I actually HAD air conditioning, I missed the sound of the fan. First I used a tower-type air purifier type thing thinking at least that would be DOING something besides making noise, but that unit became another thing to take care of, cleaning the filter, dusting it, and moving it out of the way when I had company. I happened across the Marpac noise machines and started using those. LOVE THEM, but they didn't provide much in the way of controls - and they were LOUD. They eventually made a smaller "travel" model, with various international plugs and dual voltage, which I purchased and took with me all over the world. These had better volume controls and the ability to change the type of sounds (rain, waves, etc.) Ah ha, hotels now became more bearable: No more elevator pings, less chatter from the neighbors and less hallway interference. Then, I accidentally forgot to change my plug adapter from a foreign trip for a US trip. Shocking. I had to sleep au naturel. It drove me crazy, so I got out the next day and went to a Best Buy store. They don't really sell over the counter white noise machines. So I purchased a small, portable baby sleep machine, which I still take with me for travel because it operates on 3 AAA batteries so I don't need to charge it. But when I got home, I went back online to Marpac and found they made a smaller version of my old sleep noise machine with fewer bells and whistles. It is MUCH smaller than the old one I used to bring with me on trips, and is also much quieter. Yet somehow, it works very well. I'm sleeping as well as ever, but can't sleep without it. So between the portable battery operated one and the USB charged one - I am sleeping like a baby - at home and abroad. LOVE these machines and recommend them to everyone who is sleep challenged. Could just be the ambient noise in your room/house/hotel that's keeping you awake. But, beware, it's habit forming.

I bought the Yogasleep Rohm+ Travel White Noise Sound Machine ahead of a month-long trip abroad, and it has exceeded every expectation. Despite its compact size, the sound quality is impressive and it has a good variety of sounds (although I quickly identified my go-to). I used it every night, since it created a consistent, calming sound environment. I honestly don’t know how I travelled without it before. If you’re sensitive to noise or simply want reliable, peaceful sleep on the go, this is a must-have. Total game-changer. I am actually using it at home as well now, for a better sleep.

This is my go to travel white noice machine. I use the dohm at home and this travel version creates the best, most seamless white noise in a digital format that I’ve found. I travel A LOT for work and in order to get good sleep I have to take my home setup with me on the road as best I can. I love how light weight this is, making it easy to throw in my carry on. It really helps me sleep anywhere and is a critical element to my routine. Apps just don’t do it for me, plus I like to fall asleep to a sleepy podcast which means I need a different white noise source. This fits the bill. I’ve used it for myself and my kiddo and it works great.

This is a Christmas gift for grandson who loved mine (which I had purchased months ago). Battery last for days and the sound choices are amazing. He especially love the crackling fire. I love it because it is easy to travel with. He will sleep like a dream like I have. The most important peace for me was choices of white noise, portability, and battery life and this met all three hands down. You won’t be disappointed.

I love these - the sound quality is great, as is the battery for the first couple of years. It's easy to travel with, hardly taking up any space. The only reason for subtracting a star is they only last ~3 years, then they don't work unless plugged in, then they die completely a few months after that. At the price point, it's not a huge deal. I just bought my 3rd one.

I LOVE this mini travel white noise machine! Life changer. I’m even sleeping better. Thank you!

I honestly was iffy on using a sound machine with our daughter and decided not to bother. We wound up taking a newborn sleep class that recommended one and after learning that it’s easy to wean baby off the sound machine (I was nervous we’d create a fussy sleeper), we decided to give it a shot. We’ve been using it for three months now and love it. I’m also happy to say if I forget to charge it or accidentally leave it home while we are out, she can still sleep just fine. But this is great just to drown out background noise to help her fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. I personally like no sound and light while I’m sleeping but we still have her in a bassinet in our room and this doesn’t bother me at all. I honestly chose the Rohm for the reviews and, maybe even more so, for it’s look. I preferred the white which is why I didn’t get the baby version. It’s small and chic to look at and love that we can use it as she gets older or even for ourselves down the road (as I could see this coming in handy for traveling) and it doesn’t scream “baby gear”. Love the little string that allows me to easily attach this to the stroller, car seat or diaper bag. At night, we typically just set this on the nightstand or even near her feet in the bassinet (every once and awhile she’ll kick it just right and switch the type of sound that’s playing but that causes no harm and makes us laugh while she still sleeps away). There are only 4 buttons so it’s easy to turn off, control the volume or switch the sounds while juggling the baby in one hand and is simple for grandparents or sitters to figure out right away too. It fits in the palm of your hand so takes up hardly any real estate in the diaper bag while traveling. It easily lasts through the night and into daytime naps on one charge. I tend to pop it on the charger daily just because. I really love that it has a USB charger (I just use the plug-in from my iPhone) instead of batteries! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a baby/toddler, someone who travels or even a college student (this would have come in handy in the dorms/college apartments). The quality is obvious and I feel like it’s honestly already laid for itself and we plan on using it for a long while. New parents, treat yourself to this or register for it! Or if you have new parents in your life, this would make a great gift.

We purchased this travel sound machine for several reasons/uses: 1. My husband and I didn't live around any family, so we knew we'd be traveling with our little to visit with anyone, especially over the holidays. 2. We live on a busy street and having the Dohm near his bedside and an extra white noise machine on particularly loud days, would help to keep our little asleep during naps. 3. Our son had colic and we ended up having to spend 95% of our day just sitting on the couch with him in our arms, to keep him content and sleeping. I was an avid hiker so I longed to get out and walking, at least around the neighborhood. We found that our little didn't do well with all the noisy traffic when we went for walks, so having this in the stroller with him helped to keep him content for at least 10 minutes while I was outside. Therefore, altogether, we probably used this travel machine about 50 times (and I think I'm being generous). It was amazing for those times we used it and truly helpful. But all of a sudden (just after the year warranty was up) and right when we needed it to work due to a big out-of-state move, it started having issues charging it. About 3 days after the charging issues started, it stopped completely. I took to the internet for recourses, called the company, emailed, checked with reviews and questions here on Amazon, but nothing. No one ever answered or contacted me back. It is frustrating to have a product for a year and have it completely die. I have coffee machines I have used daily, that were passed down from my parents, who used them for a decade prior than me. There is no need for a machine to breakdown after such a short time. At this point, I'm thinking of going with a Hatch Rest to have a sound machine that I can take many places, as well as all the other features (like sleep training assistance for toddlers, nightlight, etc.). And from the looks at the reviews and my research, that thing lasts forever. So disappointing.
