When we describe these settings we use left and right from Ollie’s point of view, not as you look at him. We have the Marpac hush which we love. its transportable and it goes really quite loud. There's no noticeable loop on it either.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove rechargeable batteries from Ollie before you charge them. Because of this, there’s only one type of noise on the Marpac Dohm – just a standard white noise. There’s no option to play a lullaby or nature sounds, like some of the other white noise machines do. However, you can rotate the cover of the machine to adjust the pitch and tone of the white noise to find the sound that is most soothing to your baby.

Unlike all of the other white noise machines we looked at, the Fisher-Price Cloud Soother doesn’t make you choose just one single sound for your baby to fall asleep to. Instead, it has the ability to play a full playlist of gentle music and soft white noise to gradually lull your baby to sleep. Ewan The Dream Sheep is a soft fleecy sleep aid that plays various sounds and has a pink light. Ollie The Owl allows you to adjust the volume and brightness and keeps the light on for around 30 minutes. It also features a CrySensor that activates the sleep aid when your baby stirs or wakes. Both the sounds and light automatically turn off after 20 minutes so that you don’t have to turn it off yourself. However, 20 minutes may not be enough time to get your baby to sleep, so you may have to restart Ewan The Dream Sheep once it turns off.

But white noise machines can effectively mask other sounds, which is handy if you have other children or neighbours that make some noise in the day or night.
