Customer Reviews

Not what I had hoped for
I purchased this item hoping it was similar in sound to a vaccum or hair dryer to help my 1 month old daughter sleep. Instead it sounded like the soft hum of a fan. Not near loud enough or high enough in pitch to make a difference in her abiity to sleep. The machine did work when I plugged it in. It just wasn't what I was looking for.

very good
I bought this noise maker for my baby's nursery so that my toddler's noise won't wake her up from sleep. It works very well and I would recommend it to any one who is looking for a white noise maker to give them or their kids a better sleep.

Excellent!
I have been using the Marpac sound conditioner for a couple of weeks now, and it certainly beats my old air purifier (which rattled and growled a bit, and for which now-hard-to-find filters cost a third the price of the machine).

Besides the quality of the item itself, Marpac provided excellent documentation, explaining the possibility of the need for a personal breaking-in of sorts, while one habituates to the machine. VERY thoughtful, and probably based on research/user comments. I got used to it quite rapidly.

I like it! I live in an apartment building, where even comparatively light ambient noise can startle someone at the edge of sleep. It works for me, and I hope it will for you, too.
