Best White Noise Machines for Sale

White Noise Machine Recommendations:

As we head into the spring of 2013, our top rated best sound machine for sale continues to be the highly rated and popular U.S.A. Made SleepMate 980A or Dohm DS white noise machine. Note that the Sleepmate is being renamed to the Dohm but we will continue with both names since so many know and love this white noise machine by the Sleepmate name. The top rated Sleepmate 980A Dohm DS noise maker generates a simple fan or wind-like sound that is designed to aid sleeping without moving the air around. Have you found that you tend to fall asleep better with a soft mechanical hum such as that produced by a fan running in the background? Have you noticed how babies tend to fall asleep better with a soft mechanical hum in the background? If you have, then the Sleepmate (newly renamed Dohm) is most likely your best choice in a white noise machine. Of all the various White Noise Machines the fan-like white noise tone produced by the Dohm DS has been consistently voted as the best rest inducing tone by an overwhelming majority of users. The Marpac Dohm DS or SleepMate 980A with its fan-like sound and Best Rated Noise Maker is Made in the U.S.A. and is our top white noise machine recommendation but keep in mind that the Dohm is limited in that it only generates one kind of sound and can only produce that tone at a fairly low volume when compared with electronic white noise machines that can amplify their sound through a speaker. If you prefer more variety in the white noise produced or would like to have the option of higher volume then our second highest recommendation would be the Sound Oasis S-650 which we rate as the best of the electronic sound machines since it has a better speaker and higher quality sounds than comparable units.

More White Noise Machines

Do you find that you tend to fall asleep better when it is raining outside? Have you noticed how a baby has a tendency to fall asleep easily with the mechanical hum of a fan or motor running in the background? You are experiencing the effect of a white noise machine and its ability to help block annoying frequencies and induce better rest. While the Sleepmate 980A Dohm DS White Noise Machine generates only a single fan-like rest inducing tone, there is a large variety of electronic white noise machines that produce a whole array of different sleep inducing sounds such as rain, waterfall, wind and ocean surf. In our experience the noise makers made by Marpac and Sound Oasis tend to be best in quality of tone and overall effectiveness.

White Noise Generator

The only true electronic white noise generator, meaning that the sound is not a looped recording, is the TSC-330 White Noise Generator, which is quality made in the U.S.A. by Marpac. The TSC-330 generates a true white noise that can be moderated with slider switches to approximate an ocean wave, rain or waterfall. We have found that an irregular audible frequency such as that produced by ocean waves can be particularly helpful in masking other irregular noises, like snoring, that may be interfering with restful sleep. In my personal experience, the irregular nature of the ocean wave sound produced by the TSC-330 is effective at cancelling or masking the uneven pattern of snoring and other irregular sounds.

Nature Sound Machines

While most people seem to prefer the steady fan-like mechanical hum generated by the Sleepmate 980A Dohm DS, if you prefer nature sounds (like sounds of a summer night, trickling brooks or a lake shore), you should definitely check out the Marpac 1288A Nature Sound Machine which is my personal favorite because the sounds can be combined, composed and created by the user. The 1288A has an array of nice nature sounds over which you can overlay other sound effects, such as adding frogs and loons to the lake shore sounds. If you really love nature sounds, you should definitely check out the Marpac 1288 as well as the quality nature sounds of the Sound Oasis machines.

Sound Oasis Sound Machines

Among the electronic digital tone generators that offer a nice value combination providing an assortment of good electronically generated sleep sounds along with a combination of low price and overall good quality we recommend the Sound Oasis S-550-05 Sound Machine which we rate as our Best Value in an Electronic Sound Machine. The Sound Oasis machines continue to perform well and have proven to be among the best white noise machines with good value and lots of features. Update as of Spring 2013: We handle a lot of Sound Oasis white noise machines and get only a few returns or reported problems; this is another good indicator of the general overall performance and customer satisfaction of provided by the Sound Oasis machines. If you are interested in high quality truly top of the line digital electronic white noise machines with tons of advanced features based on the latest sleep science, we recommend the Sound Oasis S-3000 Deluxe advanced relaxation device. What really sets the S-3000 apart is its 3 superior speakers (including a sub woofer) which produce a noticeably better quality tonal quality than other digital white noise machines, plus it is loaded with tons of advanced sleep promoting features. The mid-range Sound Oasis S-650 Relaxation unit offers a large selection of quality sounds played through a very good speaker, a built in alarm clock and sound card technology including an optional sound card especially designed to help with tinnitus. Our return rate on Sound Oasis white noise machines and particularly the Sound Oasis S-650 Sound Making Machine has been exceptionally low indicating a high degree of general overall quality and customer satisfaction. We continue to be more and more impressed by the quality and performance combination offered by the Sound Oasis white noise machines. One other recommended Sound Oasis model is the Travel Relaxation Machine S-850 which produces special Soothing Sounds designed for travel. As the name suggests this model has been designed for travel and portability with its 17 Nature Sounds, Jet Lag Reduction Sound, Dual Time, Compact Size, Battery capability and an AC Adapter which comes with different plugs for use in the sockets found in countries around the world. For those seeking help with snoring we suggest the ComfyRest anti-snoring facedown pillow in addition to the use of white noise machines as a possible solution. Sleeping face down has helped many control their snoring and apnea problems since it uses gravity to help open up the air passages.
