Housbay White Noise Machine with 31 Soothing Sounds, 5W Loud Stereo Sound, Auto-Off Timer, Adjustable Volume, Sleep Sound Machine for Baby, Kid, Adult -Wood Grain

Unfortunately my wife has just come down with a medical condition related to tinnitus. Among other things, this problem has ruined her sleep, causing her to awaken several times a night and then having difficulty falling back to sleep.She saw a neurologist who suggested, in addition to being tested in the next week or so, she should get a white noise machine.We came home from the neurologist's office and immediately began looking here on Amazon. I looked (on my computer) and she looked (on hers). I had picked about six of them, including this one but she picked this one only. She said that this < Housbay White Noise Machine with 31 Soothing Sounds, 5W Loud Stereo Sound, Auto-Off Timer, Adjustable Volume, Sleep Sound Machine for Baby, Kid, Adult -Wood Grain > is just what she wanted. It does not have a nightlight, which we do not need or want, and its wood-grain design is very nice and fits well into our bedroom.I immediately ordered it (around 4:00 PM) and, with Amazon's amazing shipping, it arrived around 8:00 PM that evening!We have now used it for two nights running, leaving it on all night. Her preferred setting is White Noise, Lowest Setting with a fairly high volume level.It has been helping her. She has been able to sleep for a much longer period of time and, when she does awaken, this machine overcomes the tinnitus-type problem.I had thought that having this white noise throughout the night would interrupt my own sleep but such has not been the case.The device appears to be very well-constructed of high quality materials and its design is superb. I do not know if the case is actually constructed from wood but, if it’s not, it’s the best simulated wood I have ever seen or felt.We are both very pleased with this device. There are two recommendations I could make to the manufacturer: 1) I wish its auto-off timer had options of 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours, instead of 1, 2, or 3 hours (though we have been leaving it on all night - I just turn it off manually in the morning when we wake up), and 2) I wish its power input port were a standard USB C port rather than the non-standard one it uses; the port it uses would make replacing the cord, were it ever necessary, to be very difficult.However, regarding the last suggestion, the included power cord seems to be very robust and, as we take good care of our devices, I am sure that the cord will last for the life of the machine (which I hope is a very long time).I especially like the fact that it runs solely on AC power and has no built-in non-replaceable battery. (When those batteries "die" in some device - and they WILL die eventually - that's the end of the device, even if it is still working well.)Not that this attribute is too important to us, but this machine has many more (and many more good) sound options than any of the others at which I looked. (Of course the one we use is my wife's pick.)As I mentioned above, we are very pleased with this white noise machine and I will VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT to you.Especially at its price, just $26.99, Amazon's current price, I regard this machine as a genuine bargain.If you need or just want a well-made and well-designed white noise machine, I hope you'll consider this one. I am certain that you'll be just as pleased with yours as we are with ours.Thank you very much for reading my report and for considering my opinions.Lawrence H. Bulk

I was so tired of increasing the dosage of melatonin sleep aids only to wake up at 3 a.m. and unable to go back to sleep. I am against prescription meds unless absolutely necessary so I was searching for something more to help. I ordered this white noise machine and so far I have logged 7 - 8 hours a night without interruption. It is wonderful to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day rather than feeling groggy. I use the thunder setting and sleep like a baby.It doesn't hurt that the device is attractive and fits nicely on my bedside table. I just plug it in, set it on a low volume for a two hour time frame and drift off. Thank you!

Easy to use and love the variety in sounds. My husband and I use it to drown out our noisy upstairs neighbors at our apartment. Works wonders for us!

Where has this been all my life! My husband and I both slept like a baby. We both are very happy with our purchase and love the multiple settings to choose from. Highly recommended.

I’m writing this review five years after purchasing because mine just gave out almost 5 years on the dot. The sounds on this sleep machine are great. I just purchased a different brand and noticed the quality was better with this one. I do think that the lifespan wasn’t as great as it could be, especially for the price. For that reason I had to remove a star.

Great help for a light sleeper. Able to drown out noisy neighbors. Is sufficiently loud. Others have mentioned the lack of LED lights for the button indicators. Only the power button lights up. So many variations of sounds and a good selection of white noise and fans sounds. Can't speak to the long-term durability yet as I've just recently purchased this sound machine. Will follow up with future feedback.

Very easy to set up. I used the first sound, gentle waves, all night, long and found it most relaxing. All the controls are identifiable and easy to use. I am very pleased.

I got this for my cat because we live in a small apartment with very well sound proofed windows! She enjoys the sounds when the windows are open, but they can’t be open all the time. This was good for her for when I’m not home!
