Product Information

The Sound & Sleep from Adaptive Sound Technologies offers a top-notch sound machine experience. From the sleek tear-drop design to the excellent sound, it exudes quality across the board. Both testers noted that the machine’s high-fidelity upward-facing speaker replicated each sound beautifully, producing a warm, bass-heavy profile. The “fan setting” did sound exactly like an actual box fan, albeit one with more tonal and volume control. Value also hinges on the audio quality; some machines offer a more enhanced sound experience than others. Likewise, certain models have little variety, while others have multiple settings and more extensive libraries with meditations, sleep stories, breathwork exercises, and more. It's important to find the right balance of features and sound quality at a price you're willing to pay.

But the headlining feature of both varieties is the high-end sunrise light that can be more than worth it for its sleep benefits. Four warm shades and 25 brightness levels combine with soothing sounds to deliver a very personalized wake-up experience. Incorporated into the sunset routine are wind-down programs with guided breathing to help you settle in as the light dims. In testing, we found Hatch Restore extremely intuitive and well-designed. We were also impressed with the personalization options available through the free Hatch Sleep App, including custom brightness, volume, sound, and color settings. With the app, you can create personalized morning and evening routines so Restore begins playing at set times. A gentle tap on the top of the device activates your routine.How you plan to use your sound machine will determine how small you’ll need it to be. Every sound machine we tested and researched is designed to sit on a nightstand. Some are even compact and lightweight enough to toss in a travel bag and take on the road, too. If you do plan to take yours on the go, you may want to consider a battery-powered option, which might allow you to leave the power cord at home or use your phone’s standard USB cord for charging along the way. It’s worth noting where your available electrical outlets are placed, as many noise machines will need to get plugged in (though some will also take batteries). If you’re planning to travel with the same noise machine you use at home, you’ll want to ensure that the sound machine you use is lightweight.

Ideal for those who forget to turn it off each morning. is the perfect way to drown out the outside world, and it did better than nearly any other machine we tested at masking other noises. The CDC also recommends placing the sound machine as far from your bed as possible and, ideally, to set a timer so your brain isn’t constantly perceiving and attempting to process audio signals throughout the night. Homedics is a major name in sound machines; the company makes more than a dozen different devices.

We measured how loud each of these noises was in our test room, then set each machine to its white- noise setting. We then measured the decibel level and volume setting it took for each machine to cover the intrusive noises. What You Should Know About Buying Sound Machines Types of Noise A good sound library is arguably the most important feature of any sound machine. It’s what you’re buying the device for, after all. The “right” sound library is the one that helps fall asleep and stay asleep, so it’s a matter of personal preference. Consider the type of sound that you prefer—nature sounds, white noise, ambient fan sounds, guided meditation, sleep stories, and more are all options with many of today’s best sound machines.

Though small and mighty, the SNOOZ Go's limited sound settings deliver white noise only, with no options for nature sounds or music. It also only lasts eight hours on high volume and is incompatible with the free SNOOZ app other models come with. That said, the device is rather powerful for its size, with the added perk of portability. There’s been an increased focus on potential downsides to sound machines, but the short answer is there isn’t enough data to know whether using a sound machine is harmful. Many recent articles cite a scientific review done by Mathias Basner, who reviewed 38 studies that looked at noise as a sleep aid. Basner concluded that further research is necessary to recommend noise as a sleep aid or prove that it is causing damage. As the lightest, most compact sound machine on our list, the Yogasleep Rohm Portable Sound Machine is an excellent choice for travelers longing for shuteye. With push-button adjustable volume equivalent to that of a blender (85 decibels), it's surprisingly powerful for its size. The three included sounds—bright white noise, deep white noise, and gentle surf—provide just enough distraction to help you drift off peacefully.
