Sound machines
Yogasleep Dohm Classic Sound Machine
Our take
A real fan inside makes natural, non-looping white noise, with no app, light or Wi-Fi. Simple twist controls for tone and volume. Some units rattle.
Real fanPlug-inNo app
Consider instead: Hatch Rest if you also want a night light.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Nice to have White noise helps many babies and parents sleep, but it's an easy add later if you need it.
Cost per monthAbout $1.39 a month over a typical 36 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Cheaper optionMomcozy Portable White Noise Machine: About $25, scored 82 (Good).
Secondhand?Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand.
TipKeep it across the room and at a moderate volume rather than right next to the crib.
