The Dohm model features our signature fan-based natural white noise the. I’ve since learned more about it: The genius lies in its simplicity - unlike newfangled noise machines, with their rain-forest chirps and crackling fires, there are only two fan settings and a volume control - both of which can be operated while you’re basically still asleep. Beloved by generations since 1962, the Dohm is the original white noise machine. It’s what puts me (and now my husband) to sleep every night, like a warm cup of milk. Perhaps they are trying to cut costs and save money since all smart phones have available white noise 'apps'. Cheaper parts, cord not color coordinated with the unit, fan motor is noisy. But when I turned it on, and the soothing whir enveloped my tiny bedroom, I truly did not care what it looked like: Not only was there no sign of anyone living within 100 miles of me, but my sleep immediately became sounder and deeper.Įight years and three apartments (with much thicker walls) later, the same Dohm has moved with me - because now I am addicted to the lull. Still likely the best white noise machine out there, but the Marpac brand has taken a turn for the 'less'. When the little Stormtrooper-helmet-like gadget arrived, it was maybe even less attractive than its photos. One night, in a fugue state, I went online and blindly bought the Dohm white-noise sound machine it had good reviews, and despite its slightly homely appearance, I went for it anyway. So thin that I would stay awake coming up with scenarios that could be construed as grounds for evicting them. So thin that I knew their Thai takeout order. I once lived in an apartment with extremely thin walls - so thin you could hear the neighbors’ phones vibrate.

(It also got a redesign that’s decidedly less “homely.”) We’re republishing the post because it is now enabled with on-site shopping, so you can buy this time-tested, still-beloved white-noise machine without leaving this page.
