Shhh… White Noise Sound Machine, Baby Soother, White/Grey

If you’re on the fence about a baby sound machine, let me save you some time: this one is worth every penny. Our first experience with it was in the PICU at a children’s hospital. Our baby was struggling to settle, and the moment the nurses turned this machine on, he instantly fell asleep. It was like flipping a switch. The shhh sound, white noise, and heartbeat setting are all incredibly soothing — but the real magic is how reliably it works, even on the toughest days. We bought one the second we got home… and then immediately bought a second for his twin brother because it was that good. The 10, 15, and 30‑minute timer options are perfect for naps, witching hour meltdowns, and those chaotic evenings when everyone is overtired and overstimulated. Honestly, I wish we had this for our first child. It would have saved us so many stressful nights. This little machine has become part of our daily rhythm — car rides, naps, bedtime, you name it. It’s compact, easy to use, and shockingly effective. There’s even a nightlight feature on it! It’s not too bright and just the right amount of light during those late night diaper changes. If you’re a parent of a newborn, twins, or a baby who struggles to settle, this is one of those must‑have baby items that actually delivers on its promise. Total game changer.

This little item has been indispensable since our baby was just a few weeks old. Baby had bad colic and saying "shh" over and over helped to calm her. Since I purchased this, it has been used multiple times a day for about 6 months. In that time I've never had to change the batteries. As soon as I turn it on, baby calms down and it helps her fall asleep faster. My only complaint would be that installing the batteries was kind of difficult, but given how long they last it's not that big of a deal. There are three sound modes: "shhh," a heartbeat, and a kind of wave sound. The light on this is a soft white, and it can stay on or blink slowly. There's an adjustable timer to automatically turn off after 10, 20, or 30 mins. To change the timer, you turn the top half back and forth. I leave it on 30 min constantly. If you want to turn it off sooner, you just press the power button. I like the compact size and portability. When baby was smaller we used to bring it in the car as well. This definitely is as good as the other name brand, but much cheaper. Definitely one of my best baby purchases. I'll be giving these out as shower gifts in the future.

Beautiful horn with several sounds so that your baby is calm and sleeps very well, it is a good size since you can take it wherever you want.

Nice and simple product that makes bedtime easier. Some critiques I have is that the steps in between volumes is quite big. It goes from pretty quiet to much louder and no in between. One thing I don't like is the white silicone top, gets dirty fast.

My original orange/white 4 year old shusher met its end when my 2 year old dropped it on the floor. The thing works miracles with my baby so I needed a new one. I was drawn to this one because of the $15 savings. I can confirm that the “shush” sound it nearly identical and has the same very calming miracle sleep effect on my 2 month old as the old one. I find the button controls easier. Both take 2 AA batteries. This one has some extra features but I really only wanted the shusher. Not a fan of the white silicone as it looks dirty right out of the box. I like the loop so I can still hook it to my carrier when I wear him. Ultimately, I’m glad I saved the money and went with this one. We’ll see how it holds up.

The sound quality is great and my baby falls asleep SO much faster with the shusher than without. However, the battery life and design of this product are terrible. It has not one, but TWO layers you have to remove, each with a separate screw, to get to the batteries. I have needed to replace them every week and a half after using it for 30min once a day. I honestly do not have time to be screwing and unscrewing parts every 10 days with a crying newborn at home. I ended up buying the more expensive brand (Firefly Shusher), which charges with a cable and also allows me to play it for longer than 30min. Please, Munchkin, simplify the design and improve the battery life!

I had seen similar products while pregnant but thought they were sort of a silly waste of money and didn’t get any. We do have a white noise machine with lots of different settings. After the baby was born and she decided that screaming was her favorite pastime, many people suggested the 5S soothing techniques from the happiest baby, one of which is shushing. Well after scream shushing in my daughter’s ear for hours on end, I got tired and remembered similar products to this one. So I came to amazon for my daily ‘save me I don’t know what I’m doing with this tiny human’ shopping binge. I found the other shusher for 30 something dollars and just couldn’t justify it, but after reading reviews for this one, it seemed that people liked it better and the price was more reasonable. I hit buy faster than my baby can spit up on the first clean shirt I’ve worn all week and never looked back. My baby likes the white noise machine too but this is an actual “Shhh” sound which is completely different and gets her to calm down, where the white noise helps to keep her asleep. I love that it’s portable since you will want it with you everywhere you go. I’ve even taken it in the car on longer trips. I like that it can be stood up or laid on its side or laid right in the bassinet or swing with the baby. I like that I can start out loud to overcome her screams and then gradually decrease the volume. I like the adjustable timer and that it’s easy to use. I have not used the night light portion except by accident or any of the sounds except the shushing. My only complaint is that the buttons can be difficult to find, especially in the dark, and especially especially when you’re sleep deprived and have the mental capacity of a baby yourself. But this is a minor complaint, I would still recommend this product to friends having babies. I also would sometimes like to leave it on longer than 30 minutes for those times when the baby is making you earn that title of mother. It always seems to find a way to turn off at the absolute worst times.

Good product white noise helped baby sleep

Ça sauve la vie ! Plutôt que de rester sans salive dans la bouche de faire Shhhh shhh shhh pour calmer votre bébé, et ben vous avez cette machine. Et c’est excellent le fait qu’elle s’arrête toute seule au bout de 30 min, comme ça bébé ne s’habitue pas trop non plus avec du bruit blanc tout le temps. Y’a aussi le bruit d’un sèche cheveux et le cœur de « la mama » que j’utilise mais plus rare. Anyway, c’est un truc indispensable pour une maman avec nouveau né.

Aparelho compacto e portátil, bom para levar para os lugares e usar fora de casa, em passeios, no carro etc. Em casa acho que não compensa usar porque o temporizador dura apenas 30 minutos no máximo, então para usar a noite inteira é melhor uma caixinha de som própria pra isso

New mom Amazon gift item. She was pleased to mark this off her list.

Great value for money. Does its job well, which is to soothe my baby. However, the build quality is not the best, but its alright

The baby sleeps really well with this. However, the problem is the maximum time it can run is 30 minutes before turning off by itself. This wakes up the baby. It would have been really better with maybe a longer time limit, or slow shut down to not wake up the baby by the sudden silence!
