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

Ah, sweet sleep!
As many people who reviewed this product have complained, we, too, live beneath ‘those’ neighbors. We’ve suffered through countless sleepless nights and sighed in relief when air conditioning weather rolled around again. While we could still hear noise from above and were still frequently rudely awakened, it happened less often and was less jarring, making it easier to fall back asleep. Well, the cold weather rolled around again and once again we were functioning on very little sleep. When earplugs, quiet music, and nature sounds failed to have any effect, we had to find an answer. A fan was not practical in our tiny room, leaving us feeling chilled no matter how we arranged it, beside the fact that I hate blowing the fan constantly and trying to keep it dust free. We had to find an answer. The great reviews inspired me though the bad reviews cast doubts. To me, the price was well worth it to have even a chance at sleep. At this point I often found myself in tears at 4am praying for the relief of sleep .When the unit arrived ahead of schedule, I ran into my room to set it up. I put it on a dresser about six feet from the head of our bed. I set it to the loudest sound it could make and looked forward to bed. Two words: It worked! We got the same effect as the air conditioning, pretty much. The noise was greatly reduced. The noise that came through was less bothersome so that often I could just turn over and drift back asleep since I didn’t literally jump out of bed thinking something happened to one of my kids. I run this 24 hours a day since I like that it muffled some of the daytime noise, which, while not waking me up, can really get on my nerves (guitar playing, balls bouncing, things being repeatedly thrown and dropped on the floor, kids screaming, parents yelling).What I like: Blocks a lot of noise, muffles the rest. Doesn’t take up a lot of room. Doesn’t stand out like an alien device. Easy to use. So far very reliable. Not as loud as my air conditioner but I feel it does just as good a job.What’s OK: The noise isn’t annoying, but neither is it soothing. Being fair, I feel that if it were soothing, it wouldn’t really neutralize as much sound as it does. I can hear a little vibration from it sitting on my dresser, though I have a couple of things I haven’t tried yet to help that.What I don’t like: There is nothing I do not like.Let’s be fair. This unit does exactly what it promises. The noise may bother some, true, but the only way to know is to try. I don’t know why people say, “Don’t buy this, the noise is horrible!” Definitely tell us if you find it horrible but understand that not everybody will. I know people who can’t sleep with a window air conditioner or a fan. They don’t tell people not to buy them. Would I prefer if my house was quiet and I didn’t need this? YES! I would! I love when it is dark and silent and I can sleep. Unfortunately, right now I do not have this option. This machine has literally given me back hours of sleep PER NIGHT and, in turn, made me feel less stressed and I am rarely short tempered. (I say me because my husband has lost a lot of hearing and simply sleeps on his good ear. It seems to work for him as well as the machine works for me!)One point I would like to make is that this machine does cover noise, so if you have kids (or even sometimes pets, I would imagine) you might want to keep in mind that chances are you won’t hear them when you are in the room with this machine, sleeping. My seven year old woke up with a stomachache one night and in the morning he told me he’d been in the bathroom for a while. The bathroom door is directly across the hall from my bedroom door and I never heard him. (Ha – that shows you how loud the neighbors are as I still hear them!) If something is going on in the house, it could be easily missed. That also makes it great for kid’s rooms to block the sounds from the rest of the house when they go to bed early.If you have noise that keeps you awake or wakes you from your sleep, this machine could be the answer to a better night’s sleep. If you can sleep with a fan or window air conditioner, this may work for you. It has been a life changer for me!Update: We have been using this product continuously for coming up on five years. I can no longer sleep without it. We use one to travel with and is a lifesaver in hotels where rude people talk loudly late into the night, or you hear road noise, or even just the strange noises of a new place. Sleep saving device!

Finally some bathroom privacy!
We have a downstairs powder room at our front entry way. It’s conveniently located and highly used, but the walls must be hollow! You can hear everything from the sink faucet, the flush to coughs and the TP roll spinning! So, I wanted to get a privacy noise maker/white noise machine. What I found between the privacy noise machine and a sound conditioner is well, different names, different costs, but same affects! When I received my daily-deals email from Amazon recently and this machine was on sale, I knew I had to get it then.Item arrived safely and on time, Prime order. Simple packaging and set up. In fact, just plug and play. You can adjust the sound volume by turning the top lid and/or twist the container side. There are holes, as seen in the picture, which allows for more or less sound to project. In addition, this unit has a low and high on/off button. So there are many configurations to perfecting just the right amount of noise your needing.I set this up on the floor near the doorway of our power room and placed it on low and dialed in the container top and sides to find a happy-medium volume. IT WORKS GREAT! The only faint sounds heard from the powder room was the actual flush. I couldn’t hear the faucet nor any of the business conducted. It was a nice!In addition, I have been using this more during my study hours, to mask out my rowdy children’s bickering and the annoying neighbor dogs barking. My husband, who at first, thought it was a gimmick and laughed at my intentions, has now grown accustomed to it and has been bringing it upstairs at night in our bedroom! I almost think it works too well! I was napping recently and had my bedroom window open for fresh air and was using the Sound Conditioner to mask those pesky neighbor dogs. We had a guest come over in his big diesel truck and parked directly below my window! I didn’t budge. I had no idea we had a guest over!So, what does it sound like? My best description is when boarding an airplane. When you step through the doorway, there’s that settle whoosh of air and that sound to go with it. Or perhaps, if you’ve ever walked through a doorway into a business that has a fan blower above the entrance. The door opens and the fan blows strong, noisy air downwards into the doorway. These are my best comparisons.If your thinking a box fan, I can’t comment, but I’d think that’s an awfully loud fan! At first use, if your not accustomed to any traditional white noise, then it probably will seem rather loud or even annoying. For us, after a weekend of constant usage, it becomes background noise, but also fades the other noises in the area; music, children, dogs, tv.How big is it? Best comparison is to a spindle of 50 pack CD disks with a cord.If your having trouble with noises while sleeping or am looking for conversation or bathroom privacy, this will do the job. Small enough to pack in a suitcase or carry-on. Not knowing the success we would experience, I only wish I had ordered a second unit! Highly recommended!

Das Gerät ist für Europa nicht geeignet. Sehr hohen Watt Konsum, 110 Volt, Amerikanischer Stecker. Ich habe schon zwei Volt-Converter verbrannt.

La fenêtre de notre chambre donne sur la petite cour intérieure d’un immeuble très bruyant. Chaque petit bruit résonne et il y a beaucoup de passages tard dans la nuit : claquement de porte, bruits de pas dans l’escalier, hurlements de joie lorsque des groupes quittent un appartement pour aller en soirée, etc. Par ailleurs, nous vivons dans une des rues les plus fréquentées de Lyon.Nous avons essayé d’isoler les fenêtres (double vitrage, mousse absorbante, rideaux épais), rien à faire. Les nuits devenaient si insupportables que nous nous étions résolus à déménager au plus vite. L’achat de cette machine était vraiment la tentative de la dernière chance.Après deux mois d’utilisation on peut affirmer qu’elle a comblé nos attentes. Le bruit blanc qu’elle génère couvre tous les types de bruit. Les rares nuits où l’on entend quelque chose, c’est vraiment parce que le bruit est capable de réveiller tout le quartier.A noter qu’il faut environ une semaine pour ne plus faire attention au bruit blanc.Le seul bémol est qu’elle est prévue pour fonctionner sur le courant américain. Il est donc nécessaire d’acheter un adaptateur 220V/110V en plus (entre 20 et 30 euros). Cela n’est toujours pas précisé dans la description du produit.Le tout revient donc un peu cher, mais c’est bien peu de chose comparé au coût d’un déménagement. A notre connaissance, il n’existe pas d’alternative crédible.
