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!

La compré como regalo y hasta ahora entiendo que no han tenido ningún problema. Es justo para lo que está anunciada, produce ruido blanco.

I originally bought this to mask noises from the next door neighbours and it really helped. They were not very loud, but we lived in a small an quiet town and our street was very quiet. Any noises could be heard from a mile away and that was disrupting my family’s sleep. The sound machine worked for that purpose. By the time we moved to another apartment, i was used to the sound and just kept using the machine as it helps me sleep and relax. It is a soothing constant sound, not as harsh and sharp as white noise. When we had a baby, we placed the machine between our room and his. He is 3 years old now and we still use it. It’s great to have more than one sound intensity as sometimes we need a little bit more. I am sure my toddler likes the sound too as he asks me to turn it on before he goes to bed. I’ve had my sleep machine for 5 years now and it still works almost perfectly. There is a tiny rattle but that was due to poor handling during the last time we moved houses. This was worth every pound spent. It masks outside and inside noises and the energy consumption is minimal. Great buy.

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.
