There are many baby sleep sound machines, generators and other white noise maker sound machines for baby out there that proclaim their ability to generate white noise, such as white noise machines, white noise generators, white noise makers, sound machines and sleep sound machines. Although some of these items may be okay for adults, they may not be as effective as BabyWhiteNoise.com CDs and MP3s. Here's why:

1. Most white noise machines and nature machines use small "loops" that play the same short sound over and over and over.
   These short :05 to :10 seconds of “looped” sound can become quite annoying when played for even more than a minute or two, perhaps creating more anxiety for babies rather than relaxation!
   • With BabyWhiteNoise.com:
     We do not use loops. Instead, we offer 74 minutes of real digital recordings in broadcast quality stereo. That way, you're assured that your baby will benefit from a much longer span of calming, soothing sound without any annoying interruptions.
2. The tiny speaker on a white noise machine or sound machine, which plays sound only in mono, cannot reproduce the full spectrum of frequencies that make up true pure white noise.
   Are you aware that many white noise machines and sound machines are only about 6” wide by 3” to 4” high with only one tiny 2”or 3” speaker? As a result, many of the vital lower frequencies needed to mask many environmental noises are lost as small speakers cannot play lower sounds with this small of a speaker. And since almost half of the true sound is lost because of the small sized speaker, your baby won't receive true white noise; instead, she'll hear plain ol' noise!
   • With BabyWhiteNoise.com:
     By playing Baby White Noise on your stereo, which features two real speakers, you will bathe your baby's environment in rich full frequency stereo sound, giving her true, potent white noise to efficiently mask sounds, relax and soothe to sleep. It is the difference of playing music on a small transistor radio vs. on a full rich stereo system.
3. A white noise machine or sound sleep machine may not have enough power (wattage) to produce volume sufficient enough to mask outside bothersome noises.
   A white noise machine doesn't have the power to reproduce the full tones of white noise at the volume needed to help your baby. Even at full power, most white noise machines cannot sufficiently push the lower frequencies loud enough to be effective. Always use a low comfortable volume. Even with your stereo at a low volume, your stereo's speakers are producing the lower tones and frequencies necessary for effective white noise benefits.
   • With BabyWhiteNoise.com:
     To customize the volume level desired for your particular needs, simply adjust the volume on your stereo while playing the Baby White Noise sound to achieve the optimum sound level needed to effectively calm your baby.
4. Most white noise machines and white noise generators do not offer separate bass and treble controls to add both low-end bass and high-end treble when you need it.
   White noise machines offer a very limited sound range.
   • With BabyWhiteNoise.com:
     Want to cover up the bass rumble of trucks in traffic, boomy car stereos, or noisy neighbors? Need a specific treble level to mask siblings fighting in the other room while you're trying to get your infant to sleep? It's easy to adjust the precise white noise tones you need with our Baby White Noise on your stereo player by adjusting the bass and treble controls to your personal preference.
5. Why spend $50, $100, $200 or more for a machine with only a one-year warranty, when you can enjoy BabyWhiteNoise.com at low prices, with CDs or MP3s that can last a lifetime.
   Why put up with the bulk, expense and hassle of a white noise machine or white noise generator , especially if you're not at home?
   • With BabyWhiteNoise.com:
     More than likely, you already have access to a CD player at home and on the road. If you or your babysitter already have a laptop or PC with a CD player, you're ready to help your baby enjoy the full benefits of Baby White Noise virtually anywhere.

   Note:
   If you have already purchased a white noise machine or generator, and are dissatisfied with the performance and effectiveness of your sound machine, unfortunately we cannot accept your white noise machine as a trade in for CDs or give you credit towards your purchase here.

   Thank you for your understanding.
