A List of Top 10 Best White Noise Machines for Sleeping
Sleep Easy Sound Conditioner
The sleep easy sound conditioner uses a mechanical sound to provide comfort to you. It does this using a fan. The fan produces some soft sound and you can adjust the volume of that sound. Since that sound is emitted through some holes, you are also able to adjust the sizes of such holes to achieve the sound that would really soothe you. I must also say that this machine comes at a very convenient price just for you. To prove this, check its price on Amazon.
Pros
- Simply plug it in and turn it on
- Volume and tone are fully adjustable
- Compact design
- Affordable price
Cons
- Light and cheap feel
- Not loud as expected
- Not built to last: average durability
Sound+Sleep High Fidelity Sleep Sound Machine
This is a product of the Adaptive Sound Technologies that produces more than just white noise! It is sophisticated such that it is able to offer 30 different sounds, to create the same number of soothing environments like waterfall and meadows environments among many others. That comes as a surprise I know. This product is available on Amazon too at a pocket-friendly price alongside many more offers.
Pros
- Real sounds from actual recordings
- Customizable timer
- Authentic sounds
Cons
- More expensive than some other products on this list
- Durability: average
- Not cheap
Lectofran Noise Machine
In our list, Lectofran has to find a place. Don’t ask why, look at the reasons. This is also another one from Adaptive Sound Technologies. The fact that it is portable makes me like it. It offers 10 different white noise environments, including and not limited to the most liked Brownian environment. That makes me love it more. Its price seems not to match its value as it appears cheaper. That is another feature that you will certainly like.
Pros
- 10 fan sounds, and 10 white, pink and brown noises
- 20 unique digital sounds
Cons
- Not eligible for return
- Durability: poor
Conair Sound Therapy Slums Machine
Another one that gambles with the sound you will need. The company trusts their odds with the 10 different sounds the machine offers. You do not have to play each sound to find your best if you know its name but just press the right button and play it. Its oval shape is appealing. You can choose to use batteries to power it or use a DC power source. That is convenient. Let us agree about that.
Pros
- 10 soothing sounds
- 60 minute auto-off timer
- Easy to use
- Durability: good
Cons
- Sound quality: average
Marpac Dohm Classic White Noise Sound Machine

- Not very durable
Cons
- Usability and durability: average
