Yogasleep Dohm Classic (Black) The Original White Noise Machine, Soothing Natural Sound from a Real Fan, Noise Cancelling for Office Privacy, Travel & Meditation, Sleep Therapy for Adults & Baby

Love this sound machine. I have two at my house for both my daughters. ChatGPT called this machine the OG of sound machines when I was looking for one and it was right. These do a great job at blocking sound. My mom also has one at her house for the girls. She lives in an apartment and so there’s always noises from people outside. It really helps my two year old when she spends the night. Before she would wake up whenever she heard noises and cry. Now with this sound machine she sleeps all night. Worth every penny! Love the different options for making the machine louder or softer. We use the loudest option and it works great!

Love this thing. I had one for AGES (over 10 years) that ran 24/7 that was broken during a move. I waited WAY too long to get a new one. Their is not “loop” because it’s an actual fan so I don’t focus on the sound but it actually functions as a distraction and sleep aid.

Update: I ended up buying a second one for my living room! It helps block out my noisy neighor who often plays his music when I'm trying to enjoy a good book in the living room, or just take a catnap on the sofa. For the second unit however, I bought the Camo version which I think works well in the bedroom. You tend to almost subliminally think of nature and the relaxing outdoors with the camo version near you when you're sleeping so I moved the Black one to the living room. -- I live less than a mile a way from some train tracks and the train engineers often blow the train horns in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. I have often believed they are doing it out of spite for having to work the overnight shift or something! I also have some neighbors who walk their barky dogs just before they go to bed just outside of where I am already sleeping. The Dohm Classic to the rescue! Sure, silence is best if you can get it. Think a mountain cabin out in the woods or something, I sleep amazing there, but the rest of the time, at home I need the Dohm. It helps isolate you from the outside noise so you can sleep better. Think of it as blackout curtains but for your hearing. (Note: you need blackout curtains too if you don't already have those). Nice mechanical device, made in the USA and classic retro device. I remember seeing these from time to time when I was a kid in the waiting rooms of various doctor's offices; I used to think it was strange as kid but now I totally get it. No looping or pausing of the sound, which is important because if it did, your mind would be anticipating that loop and would keep you awake. I have mine plugged in to a remote switch so I can power it on or off from bed whenever I want. This is very useful since I don't need to have it on while I'm reading in bed, but then when I'm ready for sleep, I can turn it on easily with the remote. Same for when I wake up, I can turn it off while still in bed. Note: I found that there can be a slight high-pitched whine just based on where you have the casing dialed in at, due to the fan resonating but a slight twist of the casing and you can make that go away so the tone is more pleasing. I would really recommend one of these to anyone and can't believe I didn't get one earlier.

We moved from the east coast to the west coast about 14 years ago. One of the biggest differences (for the worse IMHO) is that the west coast has housing developments where the houses are almost on top of each other. There is literally 6 to 10 feet between your house and your neighbor's house. The back yards contain a sliver of land before it meets your backyard neighbor's house. In addition to this close proximity causing other problems, one of the problems is that noises generated by neighbors (some of them not so respectful) are exacerbated. You name it: dogs barking all dang night, mowing the lawn and using other loud equipment for yard work (like a blower, string trimmer, etc.), loud music, loud talking, etc. There are also other noises not caused by neighbors such as planes, trains and (to me) the horrible sound of morning doves at the crack of dawn. The most annoying and frustrating noise emission we've had to deal with are dogs barking, incessantly and/or during "normal" sleep hours...incredibly rude and this can literally drive one insane!! Our neighbor's (at the time they were renters) would leave their dog outside virtually all night, maybe taking it in the house at 3:00am sometimes, only to let the blasted thing out again at 6:00am (including weekends!). Our bedroom, which was on the first floor, would literally be a few feet from the neighbor's side yard and back yard because the houses are so close together. Many talks with the neighbors and their landlord failed. We tried the police...they said we needed to file something in court. We looked into court options and, unfortunately, the criteria necessary to file the appropriate action was not met, so we couldn't do anything there either. Finally, we discoverd the Marpac Sound Conditioners (a prior name). They are unbelievable. Lifesavers, and savers of our sanity. We have had three of them for almost TEN years...one for each of our children and one for ourselves. The sound is incredibly soothing. There are no "repeating cycles" that you can oftentimes here with digital white noise and sound machines because the unit is generating the noise like a fan, but without the cold air. I have many digital sounds too (beach waves, rain, white noise, etc.), which are good for me at times, but I still feel the Marpac units are clearly the best for me for sleep. Additionally, if your mind/ears are like mine, and you HEAR a digital cycle start over (like rain that has been recorded, plays for 30 seconds and then starts over), it can interrupt the process of going to sleep because you noticed the loop starting over. There are no loops with the Marpac. There are two settings, high and low. The low has worked for my wife and I and one of the children this entire time. The older child likes hers on high. There are holes on the top and slits on the side. The top can turn to open or close some of the holes and the side has a sleeve that can be rotated to open or close the slits. Manipulating the slits or the holes adjusts not only the volume of the unit, but also the tonality of the sound. So, there are quite a few options for you as far as volume and tonality. Incidentally, these items are small enough for travel and they have a long cord (on purpose) for more placement options. With this on, ALL of the outside noises are gone, and we can sleep in peace. The external noises melt away. An additional HUGE bonus for me was something I discovered after I started using the Marpac. I purchased the Marpac to drown out EXTERNAL noises. I didn't even think about the INTERNAL noises in my head!! I'm talking about laying in bed and thinking too much, which can also cause sleep loss and insomnia. Sometimes my mind can race. You know, where you are just laying there, thinking about things...what I forgot to do today, what I need to do tomorrow, a work issue, etc. The sound from this unit helps me to NOT think about things so I can fall asleep, and stay asleep. It is one sound (the type you choose using the sleeve and the top) that simply continues without changing, so it is not distracting and you become immersed in its calm soothing sound. I can't recommend these enough, not only for downing out external sounds, but to also help one NOT to think as much when trying to sleep.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it is working well. Had to return one before this since the fan blades kept vibrating which is not soothing. We've had our first one for 25 years and it lasted until it didn't. Love that you can make the sound soft and also loud. Just enough white noise to drown out the cars and neighborhood noises.

This is the best white-noise machine out there. It's the third one we buy; we now all have one in our bedrooms. It's a steady noise; perfect for sleeping, concentrating, cutting out annoying noise coming from outside. Not quite as loud as an air purifier, but louder than a regular fan. Over the years, our kids have inherited our DOHM and the oldest model we have is probably 10 years old now. It still makes a perfectly steady noise; no rattles. We are 3 pp with ADHD in the family and this white-noise maker helps tremendously!!

Perfect for our nursery! Blocks out all external noise and gives a calming and soothing sound to fall asleep to. Quick delivery, worth the money, great product!

J'ai le sommeil léger et l'utilisation du Dohm me permet un sommeil vraiment plus profond. Je pouvais me réveiller à cause du camion d'ordures, le conjoint qui cusine dans la pièce à côté, des amis qui parlent dans le salon. Mais avec le Dohm ça aide à couvrir les bruits et m'aide à m'endormir et à ne pas me réveiller. On a testé des modèles différents avec plusieurs bruits différents mais ça s'entend que c'est électronique et que les bruits sont "faux". Celui ci est vraiment comme une fan mais sans le vent dans la chambre. On en a même 3! Un autre dans la chambre d'amis et un 3e que j'apporte dans TOUS mes déplacements quand je dors ailleurs. Je ne peux plus vivre sans!

My wife developed a bout of insomnia some 5 years ago, and found that at the time the "Birdsong" channel on Digital Radio became a bizzare and unexpected solution to her problem. However when it went off air some 2-3 years ago we went down a huge and complex route of trying to create digital loops off downloads of birdsong, rainforests, white noise et al (and failing due to the inevitable "jump" betweeen loops and the complications for setting up about 8 hours of loops). Eventually we settled on her running a succession of huge 12" fans next to the bed and that's how it's been for some 3 years. Somewhere along the line we came across this device but ignored it due to the price. Finally, as a birthday gift, I got her this and the moment we turned it on we new we had cracked it and the fans could go. Cheap as 12" fans can be, shoving one in an Ikea bag everytime she/we to stay away has been a pain. Features are; 1) The device is 9 x 13cm and so is very unintrusive 2) appears to be basically a compact fan in a box and therefore gives a uniform (very important) white noise output. 3) Has two adjustments; top dial that seems to modify pitch, side collar that adjust volume. 4)The operating switch is three way; Off, I and II. Whatever the differnce between I and II is must be subtle as I can't tell the difference. RE: VOLTAGE; PLEASE NOTE; VERY IMPORTANT; I "took a punt" on this, not reading many of the reviews. Having now taken delvery and read some, I was concerned that many stated that there were potentially dangerous issues with the device being a USA device at 117 Volts and associated issues. Please can you note that ours came with a UK plug attached and a small red lettered sticker attached to the instruction manual stating "240 Volt AC Operation Only" so I can only assume the manufacturer has taken onboard these criticisms and is selling a "fully UK'd" version. Perhaps refering to this when ordering could ensure trouble-free operation. Clearly as a solution to insomnia, this is going to do the job for her. At £50 it's not cheap but £50 for my wife's continued mental health seems utterly cheap. My advice is give it a go.

I have tried apps on my cell phone and tablet and they were OK. I bought a white noise machine with different sound options, the sounds were so terrible I returned it. I bought this machine. It has a real fan inside and you can adjust the tone 2 ways. There is only an on low, on high or off option. I was skeptical. How I love this machine! The sound is so perfect and soothing not annoying. I use low during the day when I work and high at night for sleeping. I will buy this machine again and again.
