They also have tons of other kinds of sleep audio.
We have a paid account so no ads.

But it depends on which one is it. If I don't have a computer, I use the white noise app.

I have 2 TVs that run through a surround system.
The TV can be off but audio is still on.
I just have to have some background sound.
Otherwise just the dog snoring will wake me up.

Especially where I live, we have lots of vehicle traffic.

I can sleep without it, but she cant.

I used to live in an upstairs apartment and I could hear the people downstairs, so it would drive me nuts that I had to use one.

When I was at their house in the guest room next to their bedroom, all I could hear were these deep-throated voices and then some unpleasantness. Couldn't make out anything specific but after 3+ hours I found some brown noise on my laptop.

I don't remember what I heard--just that it was the soothing sound of his voice.

But then again, I guess my couch was really comfortable.

Also, I use extensions on Chrome that you can use to change the EQ and use filters to expand the timbres.

Now I find it difficult to sleep in silence and often listen to TUNE-IN radio repeats of the day's MSNBC shows (which on weekends will turn into Dateline)... As bizarre as it might sound, the sound of some of those Dateline hosts is very soothing as well--especially Keith Morrison (and I am oblivious to what they are saying/reporting)... Yeah, I'm strange...

His voice actually fits very well into it with all those crime mysteries.

Bedtime stories told in a soft, somewhat monotone British accent.

I am sure I could find some good ones.

We fall asleep to gentle rain. It has lots of other sounds too including white noise, nature sounds, a metronome, & mechanical noises.. The unit is small so you can take it with you & only cost about 20 bucks.

I have that and I think it has sounds like fans, HVAC vents, white noise, that sort of thing. It's around 50 dollars.

It sounds like it is good. I always thought UV-C light germ purifiers would be really quiet, but then again, I guess I have not noticed them around much.

Most of them that use black screens after a few minutes. I use them ALL the time.

You would think it would make me stressed, but it doesn't, at least for some of them. I also use chrome extensions like eq8 and others to shape the sound.

It's made an amazing difference.

I bet it drives the cats crazy.

This one has a free market app where you can download different sounds.

and have a white noise/air filter machine in our bedroom. I’m a terribly light sleeper (so much that my parents would say I’d wake up if a fly walked across the floor). It served me well as a mom, but at 61, I think I should be getting out of that habit. No munchkins to meet halfway down the hall at 3am because a train blew its whistle and scared them.

I’m very self conscious of snoring or heavy breathing and I will wake myself up if I think I’m breathing too heavy. I think it’s because my family has always complained about snoring. Nobody has ever produced a recording of it so I’m thinking they’re actually hearing their dad (who has sleep apnea).

a stand alone HEPA filter in my bedroom and I get the same "sound machine" effect. A "tooFer"

It's called a fan. It makes perfect analog white noise for sleeping.

Without it, I hear all the little noises in the night, including my own tinnitus.

I find it almost impossible to sleep without a fan set on low. The gentle hum and light breeze makes me sleep like a baby.

mine sounds a bit like a jet engine.....I wear earplugs too

longtime habits from working 12 hour night shifts

the only failure was the weed eaters and leaf blowers

If it's a summer day and the lawn mowers are in the background, that's fine. I used to wait outside until thunderstorms came in, and the sound of distant lawnmowers would help.

However, during certain periods of time the audio would cut off, and it was waking me up, so I got something called Electrofan, and it has never failed me.

I’ve used them for years…

They have their own sleep sound system… or I will Bluetooth connect to my iPhone or TV… music, rain, ocean, thunderstorm or an audiobook or podcast — whatever it takes — to put me to sleep… ❤️🧡🩵 them…

PS I have tinnitus, + they have been a lifesaver…

Best movie to fall asleep during is the 1936 British production of Shakespeare's As You Like It starring Elisabeth Bergner and Laurence Olivier. It's like listening to a babbling brook. This is in no way a criticism of the film.

is why my wife plays white noise to sleep

I wear ear plugs at night. I have for decades since working swing and graveyard shifts. They muffle most extraneous noises.

the sound of my husband snoring 😂
