Adaptive Sound Technologies LectroFan EVO White Noise Machine - Compact Sleep Sound Machine for Bedroom, Travel, Study & More - 22 Non-Looping Fan, Ocean Noise Variations - White

I have cat-induced insomnia. My cat meows besides the bedroom door until I wake up in the middle of the night. She gets enough food before bed and again in the morning, she’s been checked by the vet, she has plenty of toys, but still, she meows for attention. She isn’t allowed to sleep inside the room for other reasons (plus she would still meow at me even if she was inside).I’m not a person who can fall back asleep easily once completely awake. I start becoming anxious and thinking about things, and next thing you know, hours have gone by! It was getting to the point where I slept less than 5 hours a night most of the time. I thought I would go insane.I tried a lot of things before this sound machine. I wore high-quality, silicone earplugs. I left the fan on. I tried to put foam on the bottom of the door to block sound. Nothing was enough to muffle my cat’s meows enough for me to sleep through them!I didn’t have high hopes for this, even though I read through a lot of the good reviews before buying it. I always thought sound machines would only be as effective as a fan.When I tried this out, I first tried the fan setting because I liked how that one sounded. Then I tried the white noise setting and that one actually worked a lot better to muffle the cat noises. I think she’s even stopped meowing most nights now because I don’t respond to it anymore.The machine gets loud and I turn it up high. I still sleep with earplugs in, or else the sound would be too loud. The combination of the machine and earplugs are enough for me to sleep through disruptive noises, even as a light sleeper!If you’re worried about your alarm, if you keep it right next to your bed you should be fine. I tested alarms on my phone to see if I could still hear them loud enough, and I could! It might be an issue if you keep your alarm further away though.I haven’t experimented much with this machine because the setting I have it on with the white noise already works so well. You can adjust the volume to your liking. The sound travels up and helps to fill the whole space you’re in, rather than just occupying a single corner. The machine is also super small which I wasn’t expecting, and that’s great because it’s light, portable and not clunky. I worried where I was going to put it until it arrived and I saw how small it is!!Overall, if you suffer from noise-induced insomnia, or if you just need some comforting background noise to help you fall asleep, you need to try this little machine! If your cat is extra loud at night, then you especially need to give this a try. I’m so glad I found this!

I purchased this LectroFan sound machine for my baby’s bedroom. We live on the bottom floor of a 3 story apartment building. My upstairs neighbors are young elementary aged kids; and sometimes the kids can be quite loud. And I don’t blame them - kids are kids. But it is pretty hard when I need to put the baby down for bed and they’re playing in their rooms. Y’know, kids will be kids. Lots of running, jumping, sometimes falling down or dropping things, it’s enough noise to startle my baby from a deep sleep.This powerful little machine solves all my problems. At the loudest setting on the fan/whirring white noise we like, it sounds like a jet engine is in your bedroom. This little thing drowns out EVERYTHING. We keep it roughly at the midway point, not deafeningly loud so I can still hear midnight crying when it happens, but loud enough to drown out anything upstairs. I love that there are so many options for noise - there’s some options that sound more like static, some that sound like fans, one of my favorites sounds like a window a/c unit. The options vary from “lighter” noise to more heavy bass which is my choice for drowning out footsteps/playing.The options are straightforward. Volume up and volume down buttons. Fan button for the fan noises, the static symbol for static noise. Power button to turn it on and off. Timer button if that’s an option you want to use, but we don’t. Also love it, because no stupid lights! The baby likes the room to be pitch black dark, as do I, so nothing to mess with her circadian rhythm.I 100% recommend this machine. It comes with more options than most, it’s easy to use and set up, and most of all it’s a continuous noise. No obvious loop or skipping - just a steady, consistent noise that you get to choose.

Everything it's supposed to be. Perfect. Easy to use. No light pollution in your room. You can easily feel the power button at the top of the others in the dark. Default toggle of power button is to unlimited time. Fairly compact size. Easily beats Magicteam Sound Machine.

I have been using this nightly for the past 2 years, and it has been great! I only use one of the many noise settings - the one that sounds the most like a fan. It's a nice plain sound that has helped me to sleep better. I also love the size and portability of it - it's very easy to toss into my suitcase for traveling.However, after two years of regular use, I've noticed that the sound has started to change. I'm now able to hear some new kind of undertones, if you will. It's hard to describe, other than it's no longer a plain white noise sound. I'm very sensitive to sounds while sleeping (hence my needs for white noise), and I've started to wake up in the middle of the night because of the irregularity of the white noise. It's unfortunate, but I guess the parts have just worn out.For the price, I'd say I got some good use out of it, and I will be retiring it to our guest room and ordering a new white noise machine for my room. I don't think I'm going to order this one again, as I'd like to see if I can find something that will last longer. But I did enjoy it while it lasted.
