Tara: a few days ago
Great white noise machine at a great price point. Small enough to pack in diaper bag for travel and a nice selection of sounds. We are using this for both our toddler and baby.
Sharon: a few days ago
Great product for anyone who can't sleep with any noises. Tried several fans which worked for a while. I have had this machine for two weeks now and I let it run all night, haven't slept this soundly for years. I love it. Blocks out all noise from the street. I am no longer tried all day. Give it a try. A great nights sleep awaits you.
Jeannie: a few days ago
I took my sound machine when travelling, and it was useful for helping to drown out traffic noise. At home I use it to assist in falling asleep and much better than having a TV on. I plan to share this product with family members and get there input.
Ashley: a few days ago
Great for children!
We have one in each of our children's rooms, and I am amazed on a daily basis at how well they work to block out the noise of the other child. This has especially been a life saver since our children are on different nap schedules.
The sounds are very soothing, but I usually just leave it on "waterfall" since that sounds the most like plain white noise. The volume is great, it is definitely loud enough to block out normal background house noises.
Leonora: about a week ago
Fabulous product! Solidly built...Very high quality sound! Like being sung.a lullaby... Each setting is precisely the sound it mimics. I bought one and then ordered another - one for the master bedroom, one for the guest room.
Nancy: about a week ago
Wonderful! Suffering from pulsatile tinnitus (swooshing sound in ear). This makes me not hear the swooshing and the sounds the machine makes are very natural! So glad I bought it. And well.ca does a great job of getting it to you in timely fashion (oredered on Tues, it was here on Thurs.)
JB: about a week ago
Very happy with this sound machine! It has blocked out the noises in the house which helps our 4 month old get to sleep for her naps and bed time. My husband and I can now cook dinner without worrying that the clanging pots or pans will wake her up!
Vanessa: about a week ago
Great price and works like a charm. We had been running a fan in our 6 month old's room to drown out the noise our 4 year old makes, but once I saw this product I knew it was a better option than a big fan. Good choice of sounds and we love the timer feature for night time use.
christy: about a week ago
I love the quality of the sounds. My husband loves the rainforest sound the best. It is very relaxing. I also love that it has a timer so it atomatically turns off.
Brigitte: about a week ago
Bought it for our expecting child...using it for ourselves, might not even give it back. :)
Sarah: about a week ago
Great product. Has helped our 6 month old son sleep at night. The sound is great and it's small and portable to take with us on holidays.
Paul: about a week ago
Does what we want - used to use a small fan to have "white noise" in our bedroom - this does the job with choices of sounds to listen to.
Katelyn: about a week ago
Love this product! It helps my baby sleep more at night. The rain and waterfall options are nice and I love that it can stay on all night.
Deb: about a week ago
It was a godsend. My granddaughter is now settling down and sleeping for longer periods of time, with the heartbeat sound.. It is easy to use and portable.
Andrea: a couple of weeks ago
Terrible product. Worked great at first, but with continued use, the volume dial started acting up and the sound would crackle in and out and not work. I have to wiggle the dial to find a spot that works. I sent the unit back under the warranty and got a replacement unit which is now doing the exact same thing. I won't buy anything again with a power/volume dial as this must be a common problem.
Jess: a couple of weeks ago
An absolutly AMAZING product. My son fell asleep to the heartbeat feature on this machine within SECONDS. The rainforest and rainfall ones are very soothing and the summer night reminds me of my childhood being outdoors on gorgeous nights! I love that it takes both batteries and A/C power. It's a truly great thing to have for babies and insomniacs! :)
Sherry: about a month ago
I Bought this to use in my baby's room, I live on a very noisy street. It works great. The sound is very good, not tinny at all. I bring it while we travel as well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for white noise solution. I use the waterfall sound on this machine.
June: a few months ago
This white noise machine is fantastic. Definitely superior to the more expensive Sleep Sheep one. We bought it for our 4 mth baby and it has helped with her sleeping.
Mandy: a few months ago
I love this product! We used to use a fan for white noise while we slept. However, the fan was not loud enough and it used too much energy to run it all night. This has adjustable volume and uses far less energy. It effectively drowns out all the other noises that used to keep me up at night b
Christal: a few months ago
I just got this for my baby and she's 8 months old. It's been great for nap times and bed time because my life continues I'm not afraid to do chores with her sleeping. So far shes been sleeping longer for her naps which were a struggle.I think it'll be really handy for a newborn as well with the heart beat sounds.
busymomma: a few months ago
The previous machine we had for our 2 year old finally burnt out (after 2 years). We bought this for him and love it - use it every night. We also just bought two more for the twins. Summer night and the waves are the family favorites.
Eric: a few months ago
Product works as advertised. Being a light sleeper I use the constant sounds like rain which does a good job of helping cover up train & traffic noise. Price at Well is the best possible out there. Think I will buy another as a spare just in case.
Stephanie: a few months ago
I love it, always helps me to fall asleep and I bought one for my 3 years old daughter as well.
Liz: a few months ago
It does the job you need it for. I had one it was 15 years old. Replaced it with this one. Much nicer, modern, sleak design. Matches my phone on my night table.
Debbie: a few months ago
Listening to the sound spa when I go to bed is truly helping me to fall asleep. It is like a security blanket for me already.
Dayna: a few months ago
Love it,; came back and bought another. The "waterfall" effect is just like white noise; volume has a wide range from v. quiet to quite loud. I like that the timer is optional (can also just leave it on all night, more energy efficient than a fan). I've also used the heartbeat sound effect for fussy baby and it seemed to work.
JM: a few months ago
I have alot of health issues which interfers with my sleep and using this machine has helped so much...I would suggest if you have sleep issues buy this..you will be a mazed how much it helps!!!
Derek: a few months ago
The Homedics sound spa has been great ! They definitely help drown out the noise my 2.5 year old makes and allows my twins to sleep during the day. Shipping was super quick too !!
Doug: a few months ago
I am very pleased with this unit. It is very light and compact and I like the choice of sounds. The delivery service was excellent. I will continue to shop at well.ca for certain.
Angie: a few months ago
We're very happy with this purchase. The rain sound is a favourite. It drowns out noise in the house really well. Our baby is now sleeping much better. Well.ca also has excellent customer service. I've never had any issues ordering from this company!
Annie: a few months ago
Overall this is a good sound machine. We've been using it for nearly three years since our first child was born and its helped both children sleep through the night and naps. It's nice and compact so it's very easy to travel with and the battery back-up is a bonus. Our kids can sleep through anything. We keep it on through the entire sleep so it gets a lot of use. The thing I don't like about it is that we're on our third one since the sound tends to start going in and out after a few months. We've still been able to use it once it starts doing this but it tends to get worse after a while. The company replaced our first one but we just had to buy this third one since the warranty had expired.
I'm giving it four stars simply because of lack of longevity. Besides that we've loved using it.
Chris: a few months ago
Works exactly as advertised. Great quality sound, the ambient noise choices cover all that one would need. Works so good I may have to buy more than one for the family as they are fighting over it.
Jaclyn: a few months ago
I can not go to sleep in a quiet room. This is the perfect option to give me a good nights sleep.
Michelle: a few months ago
Bought this for my 6 mo old a couple of weeks ago and I am very pleased
with my purchase. I play the rain sound for naps, waterfall at night, and rainforest after my baby wakes up. It is very effective in drowning out the noise ,which had been a problem, previously, since my baby is a light sleeper and with no carpet in the house, she could easily hear and wake up to all sorts of noises coming from upstairs or downstairs.
Jane: a few months ago
We had been hearing about this "White Noise" theory for a long time. Finally when my 2 daughters had their 2nd babies only 3 months apart, and were having trouble with them sleeping, we finally googled white noise and came up with your name. We ordered them the same day, and the girls were thrilled with the results. Now we are thinking we should order 2 more for the older siblings who are only going to be 2 this summer. We are thrilled with your portable sound machine and would recommend it to anyone.
Frank: a few months ago
I think the product is great but my wife thinks the sound is not the best as she hears some distortion. Maybe she just has to get used to it.Perhaps it is the frequent cycling of the same sounds.
The timer function is an assett.
Chris: a few months ago
Works like a charm, no medications needed I sleep like a baby... Heartbeat mode kinda creeps me out though!
Anitra: a few months ago
We purchased to help our newborn sleep a bit more soundly at times when she is fussy. The rain and ocean settings do wonders and also helped me fall asleep as well. Love it.
Angie: a few months ago
Never used a white noise machine before....I purchased it by the request of my husband...as a result I LOVE it!...My sleeps have never been better! I highly recommend this product.
S&R: a few months ago
My partner and I (29 27) used to have a fan in our room to help him sleep - he's a light sleeper and has difficulty falling asleep to my breathing sounds (I exhale heavily). When the fan broke, I decided to purchase this little guy and am extremely glad I did! We only have it on 'rain' for night time sleeping as the other sounds cycle too quickly/ abruptly but he likes the 'summer nights' for relaxing or baths as it reminds him of growing up in Ontario! The only con is that I find myself having to get up more often to use the washroom in the wee hours with the water sounds! Definitely recommend giving it a shot for the $30 and I will be replacing this once it dies out - nothing like a good night's sleep for both of us!
Sabrina: a few months ago
We were having serious sleep challenges with our 6 month old baby. We live in small quarters and this white noise machine works like magic.
Very easy to take with you travelling: small, light weight, runs on batteries or plugs in.
I read some reviews before purchasing this product and there was mention that the green light was too bright and that some of the sounds were unrealistic BUT I say otherwise.
LOVE IT!!!!
Annette: a few months ago
I bought the unit for my 28 year old daughter who was having problems sleeping: she lives in an apartment building with thin walls, near bars with the usual noisy patrons and has fibromyalgia, the symptoms of which often includes insomnia. Unfortunately, it did not work out for her. She found the sound segments too short and unvaried; the cycling of the same effects bothered her.
Dr: a few months ago
We bought this sound machine to help ease the transition from sleeping in mommy and daddy's. Room to our daughter's room. Our daughter simply loves it. The sound reproduction quality is incredible. On the Summer's Night setting I actually feel like there are real crickets in the room. Great buy!
Siovahn: a few months ago
I love this product! We have the sleep sheep and my 4 month old daughter loves it, except the longest it stays on is 45 mins and as soon as it goes off she wakes up! Now I leave this on all night and she literally sleeps like a "baby" :-)!!!! She likes the rain sound, but there are several more beautiful sounds to choose from. Oh one last thing, it is very small and easy to take anywhere you want - even smaller than the sleep sheep!
Jenn: a few months ago
THIS IS AMAZING! I bought this for my baby-on-the-way and thought we would try it first...now I need to buy another one! The volume is great and love that it can stay on all night!
Anne: a few months ago
I love this product. It works get. It has a timer or if you want it to stay on all night it can. I also bought one for our daughter and she loves it as well.
I was also pleased with the short amount of time it took to get my order to me. I had this product within 5 days of ordering it.
Suzanne: a few months ago
Love it!!!! This Helps my little one sleep by drowning out the noises in the house...I like the timer feature... :-)
Bomama: a few months ago
This is the 2nd one I have purchased, due to first one deciding to just stop working.I love the crickets, but this machine, although the same, has the same settings....the crickets sound more like hyper crazed locusts attacking, so I cannot use that setting.The ocean setting is great, and helps me sleep.But am disappointed with the cricket setting on this one.
raquel: a few months ago
Wonderful product. Keeps my twins asleep longer during naps and at night. Drowns out other outside noises and has many great sounds to choose from. Ocean works best for us. Everyone should own one. Thinking of getting one for myself. Hope to drown out my husbands snoring!!!
yves: a few months ago
This is exactly what I was looking for. What I like the most is the selection of sounds this equipment emit and the sound is quite good for such a small item.The sounds are quite calming and relaxing and really does induce sleep. You would expect to pay more for this. I do not regret the purchase. I certainly would not hesitate to buy another one if necessary.
D & M: a few months ago
- Purchased as a sleep aide. Probably great for a child's room but the sounds leave quite a stretch for coming close to the real thing, (i.e.: the 'ocean' sounds more like a duck pond on a calm day). Not what was expected. My wife doesn't even want it turned on. Back to our FM radio with a timer.
Jim: a few months ago
Bought this as a gift, great value compared to the white noise machine I bought previously from another vendor.
elise: a few months ago
We're very happy with this. The waterfall setting sounds like a generic "white noise" or static, which is what we were after.
Melane: a few months ago
Love this product...I no longer have to keep going into my babies room to reset her sleep sheep sound machine.
Sue: a few months ago
This item is the best! It has different settings such as seaside, heartbeat, summernights etc.. It also has a timer you can use too! I love hearing the rain fall down as it brings back wonderful childhood memories. I use this every night and now I wonder how I lived without it.. I sleep much better with this and it even drowns out my snoring husband (now that's a plus) Great product, great price, fast shipping and a good company to buy from..someone you can trust. 5 STARS all around.
Charmaine: a few months ago
Love the product, it helped not only my baby sleep but it helped me sleep as well. It is a great form of sound theropy for anyone at any age who has trouble sleeping. also great for meditation and relaxation. I love that it is portable with adapter or battery option.
Pierrette: a few months ago
I highly recommend this product. I sleep like a baby. I love the rain sound . It is so relaxing.
Elizabeth: a few months ago
Love this product. It's small and attractive so can fit in anywhere. Good selection of sounds - my favourite is the waterfall - and has definitely contributed to a better night's sleep.
Jo: a few months ago
Love this - it has helped my 3 month old son (and the rest of the family sleep) it is nice and small, and the option to plug in, or use batteries it's very portable. Good sound quality!
Francis: a few months ago
My wife has trouble sleeping because of the noise outside: trucks, traffic. This product helps my wife in coping with all the ambient noise. Great stuff.
Steph: a few months ago
I love it. Many types of calming sounds which ease me to sleep. A must have.
Liane: a few months ago
This sound machine works beautifully. It is compact which makes it easy to take with you when travelling and the option to plug in or use batteries makes it very adaptable. The volume dial works well and it allows you to get just the right amount of sound. I used this machine to help my child learn to sleep through the night and the rainfall setting was perfect. I would definitely recommend it especially for parents with children.
Heidi: a few months ago
The Home Medics Sound Spa does exactlywhat it promises.....soothing white
noise covering other annoying sounds. My favourite is "Summer Nigh"; a real treat as I am listening to snowplows and dump trucks rumbling. The sound spa transports me, hubby and pup to a beautiful August night. An ode to summer!
genevieve: a few months ago
love it!
i bought this to help my daughters sleeps and i am the one who ends up using it every nights!
the falls sounds makes a great white noise.
Gillian: a few months ago
This is a fantastic little machine! Compact and very soothing for both babies and mom and dad. Our 6-month old sleeps much more soundly since we put it in her room. Our favourites are "summer night," "rain," and "ocean."
Ruth: a few months ago
I like the portable sound machine as it is very easy to pack for trips (slim shape and very light weight) and it really helps me to sleep, especially in a new surrounding where there are different noises than I am used to. I would definately recommend this machine to anyone who needs some sleep helps.
Sarah: a few months ago
Love this product. Haven't had it long enough to see if it "wears out" as others have mentioned, but so far so good!
Marie: a few months ago
Nice and compact, very easy to use, our 4 month old love his white nois emachine and has been sleeping much better since we got it for him for Christmas! I highly recommend it|
Misha: a few months ago
I was about to purchase this item until I read of all the people that had it cut out after a few months. Changed my mind. However if this problem is ever resolved I'd be interested in it.
N: a few months ago
Love this product. Bought it about 5 months ago for our first trip with our baby and have used it every day since. I really like the multiple sounds and timer settings. Unlike other similar products this one doesn't automatically turn off after a certain period of time. You can leave it on all night if you want. Also love the a/c adaptor and battery power options.
Dani: a few months ago
I brought two, one for home and one for my dayhome. My son was 8 months old when I started using it. It's his sleep cue and also helps to block out any noise in the house. Works great. We use the rain setting.
Britt: a few months ago
Works great and soothes my five month old through the night while he's sleeping.
Nicole: a few months ago
We bought this because our baby sleeps in our room with us and is a very light sleeper who wakes often. We've only had it a few weeks but the baby has not been awakened at night since we bought it. The rain setting is incredibly soothing and comforting and works very well to block out other household noise. The first night we had it on, I slept like a baby. Considering how inexpensive this item is, it is a phenomenal value.
Stella: a few months ago
I still have not used as I gave it to my neighbour to use to see if it helps her new baby sleep & it has.She says the rain is the best.Told her to use til she got her own.
I got it for my tinnitus.
Shellee: a few months ago
I love this product. I had a friend lend me theirs and had to go out and buy it. Would be great for anyone who needs to relax. Great for doing yoga, before going to sleep.
M: a few months ago
Great product. Compact with adjustable volume. We run it continuously in my infant son's room...helps to drown out background noise from our busy home.
Jennifer: a few months ago
I purchased this for my daughter and have since purchased 2 more (for my younger daughter and my husband and me too). It is a wonderful product. We use the waterfall setting and it drowns out household noise perfectly! We also love to use the summer night setting when getting the children ready for bed. Nice and soothing. It is a compact size, suitable for travel too. Highly recommend!
Maranda: a few months ago
I love it! I use it in my 4 and 3 year olds (shared) bedroom. It drowns out the noise my 11 month old makes when going to sleep or if he wakes up during the night, so they have a peacfull nights sleep. It is easy to use and works wonderfully!
Tanya: a few months ago
I absolutely love this product. I have two of them. I use one for my son's room and one for ours as our newborn is sleeping in there to begin with.
It has a timer, so if you don't want it on all night, it can turn off automatically or play all night.
The fact that it is also able to travel when you do and use batteries is an added benefit - especially if you head outside of North America where you would need an adapter to plug it in.
I don't have a negative to say about it actuallyk, so here's a 5 star rating.

Vic: a few months ago
having acquired the obus forme sound therapy was the best investment of my problem sleeping. It has a relaxing sopund and it helps you into sleep.it isdvery handy and portable and you can bring it with you wherever you go either camping or traverlling somewhere.
Anjali Murray: a few months ago
Love this product!!! I have used other sound machines in the past, however many of them do not have a continuous sound option. This one does! My husband is a shift worker and We have a busy household with many noises./. This machine has a volume adjuster and is compact enough to travel with...
Helen: a few months ago
Answer: 2. The product does what it has been promised to do. I have tinnitus and the "white" sound diverts my attention from the annoying ringing in my ears. However, for my tastes, I would prefer some choices of soothing classical music.
Stephanie: a few months ago
This product is great for the first year. If you intend on using it on a regular basis don't expect it to last very long. We use it for our kids each night and at nap time and we have had to replace it three times now because the sound starts cutting in and out.
Annik: a few months ago
This is a good product and has helped my two-year-old learn to sleep well. She now has a newborn baby brother and my now three-year-old still sleeps very well, not hearing her brother's cries. And my newborn sleeps amazingly well and I'm firmly convinced it's due to the rainfall setting on this machine. The only problem is that my first machine developed a static problem (the sound would be interrupted with silence which may or may not last longer than five seconds) at around month 10 forcing you to turn it up very loud in order for the static to stop interrupting the sound.
Lisa: a few months ago
Great product, now my husband doesn't insist on having the cold fan on all night for background noise!
Megan: a few months ago
Love this system. My son can't sleep through the night without it. I love that you can plug it in so that it will run all night. Most systems only have a timer but this one does both!
Lisa: a few months ago
Great machine. I bought this for my infant son who was having trouble napping with the noise his older brother makes while playing, and it has worked like a charm. Great volume range and sound selection, and the unit is quite small, which is a bonus. My only complaint is some of the melodies are a bit fake and rough sounding. The ocean waves could be much more pleasant and relaxing than they are, and the waterfall is really just static-like white noise, although it's actually a pretty good one for a baby. Overall decent product and I'm happy with my purchase.
Emily: a few months ago
The rainfall setting is great for when I want to sleep or relax. The Rain forest setting I find is great in the morning to get me energized - I love it!
Kelly: a few months ago
I bought this product to have in my babies nursery. With two older brother running around, it helps him nap during the day and also helps him fall back to sleep when he wakes in the middle of the night. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality of the product at a reasonable price.
Judith: a few months ago
The different sound options are fine, however, it stopped working the second time it was turned on even though fresh batteries were used. It was discovered that the battery contacts were dirty. This is how the unit was manufactured, with insufficiently clean contacts so that the batteries were useless.
Ashley: a few months ago
I love it! I purchased this to use in my 5 month old daughters room. It really helps to block out other noises in the house during naps and to relax her at night. The sounds are so realistic and calming. It is easy to use.. even with a baby in your arms. I am considering getting a second one for my room!
aleta: a few months ago
I have trouble with background noise from the heating system in my apt. It drives me crazy when I try to sleep. The rainfall setting eliminates the problem. Thanks
Mitchell: a few months ago
Great Product! Whether you need a soothing sound in the background or you need something the awful sound of city traffic this sound machine works wonders. Everyone who tries sleeping with mine absolutely loves it and asks where they can get one. Would recommend this product to anyone.
Jessica: a few months ago
I originally bought this to help my baby sleep but I liked it so much that I use it instead! The rain sound is great to have on while I sleep at night and I like ocean or rainforest during the day. It's very soothing to have in the background.
Karin: a few months ago
Great product, easy to use, would like to have seen at least 2-3 more sound options such as wind through leafy trees or pine trees and waves on the beach without the bird sounds, a more gurgley creek sound or water fall would be great as well. I have better dreams and also the machine helps block out traffic sounds too.
Kathleen: a few months ago
I have had an Obus Forme sound therapy machine for years and I don't know what I'd do without it. I've even used the heartbeat sound for kittens that I've rescued! It works great! As for me, I have Tinnitus in both ears, so it soothes me to sleep with the comforting sounds. My unit is an older model with a few extra sounds, but the newer model found here should be just as great! I would recommend this machine for anyone. Thanks, Obus Forme, for allowing me a wonderful, peaceful sleep, instead of having to deal with the severe ringing in my ears every night. I also use the machine during the day to help quiet the Tinnitus.
Diane: a few months ago
Excellent - I bought this machine for myself - love it - the rainforest is my favorite - sleep wonderfully now!
Terra: a few months ago
I bought this machine for my kids and now I just bought another for me and my hubby because we love it so much. It's great for the kids to drown out the noise in the house so they can sleep and my 3 year old even asks for it because he says it helps him sleep.
Nicole: a few months ago
I bought this sound machine 3 months ago and my baby sleeps fantastic with it that i bought a second machine to leave at the grand parents place. So far so good:)
Gillian: a few months ago
My husband and I love this machine for our daughter. She sleeps with a fan at home but when travelling it isn't easy to carry a fan. This sound machine is very portable and small.
pablo: a few months ago
great concept/ product for the most part. the only issue I have is sometimes I notice some static sounds on the machine. seems to be when my cell phone is near it. my cell phone has been cutting out alot when I have the machine on as well. not sure if these are related. otherwise, i enjoy it. the timer option is great.
Kirsten: a few months ago
We have the same probkem with the sound spontaneously cutting out. It's been happening ever since the machine was used for 6 months. It's very frustrating because my daughter wakes up when the sound comes back on after being off.
Megan: a few months ago
We've been using this with our kids since they were born, but they don't seem to last long - we're on our fourth and we've been using them for only 21 months.
Jennifer: a few months ago
We got hooked on white noise when we shared a room with our baby. Now I can't sleep without it -- the noise drowns out street sounds and the thumps and bumps of our teenagers (who go to sleep later than we do!). This little white noise machine is compact, easy to adjust, and can run all night. It's perfect.
Jennifer: a few months ago
I purchased two of these sound machines for my children and the sounds they make are great, but the volume buttons started to malfunction on both machines after about six months. I had to put a toothpick into the button hole to keep the volume on. After one year, neither of them worked at all. I would not recommend this particular model.
Lisa: a few months ago
our son loves this.
we've been using it since he was born almost 3 years ago and recently bought a second one for our next baby, due any day.
MARLA: a few months ago
We purchased this item as a "white noise" machine for our newborn baby. We love it! It has different sounds including a heartbeat which is very soothing to our son. It is the perfect size for travelling. Also, we live in northern Ontario where the power goes out frequently, and the back-up battery option saves us! Everything goes off in the house except this machine. We definately recommend this product. On a side note re: the reviews on the **** breaking...we had to purchase a second one because we jammed ours in a bag and bent the ****, so of course it broke. Our second one runs every night for 12 hours plus his naps, and there is no problem with it at all.
Jody: a few months ago
This is a great product - lightweight, the volume goes loud enough which has been a problem with other sound machines. The only negative thing to add is that the speakers blow out after awhile I use it in my kids rooms and we need to buy one every year.
K: a few months ago
Much better sound quality than the Conair one I purchased at Walmart. Works great to keep a baby sleeping, even with a noisy toddler around!
Megan: a few months ago
I work night shifts and this product has helped me sleep during the day blocking out the busyness of the daytime noise. I love it and would recommend it for sure!
john: a few months ago
Piece of ****. We have owned 4 in less than 2 years. I don't know why we keep on buying them. They are fine when they work but that is very rarely. The sound keeps cutting out and we have to fiddle the **** to stop the sound from cutting out. Then it dies half way through the night. We just replaced our "old" one yesterday and the new one just stopped working. This has happened to all 4 that we have had now. I don't think it is just a coincidence. Would not recommend this product at all.
Meghan: a few months ago
Athough I LOVE this machine for it's white noise that works wonders for my daughter's sleep, I have had to purchase THREE (yes THREE) of them over the past 1.5 years as they keep breaking. The **** that works the volume is very fragile, and after a few months of use, the **** stops working and the sound cuts in and out at random. Not all that helpful when you are trying to use it for sleep! If they could resolve this problem I would give the product a 5/5. Until then, a 2 :(

My husband is an early riser and we live in a small apartment, so we bought this to put in our son's room to block out the noise of my husband getting ready in the morning. It works wonderfully--our son is no longer waking up at 5:30! I especially like the variety of sounds and how it works on battery or plug.

This noisemaker is WONDERFUL! Easy to take anywhere and has six wonderful sounds to choose from. I use them for my sleeping babies and myself!

We have a 4month old and a 2year old in rooms beside each other. This product has helped their sleeps be more restful as each child has one in their room to help block out any noise that might be disturbing to them. We use the rain setting which offers a very realistic and soothing sound. When our 4month old wakes crying during the night for a feed, the machine volume offers enough options to set it loud enough so that our other son doesn't even notice. It is a great product that I would definitely recommend for relaxation, particularly to aid with sleep for young children.

My 4 months old baby girl is a great sleeper (7 to 12 hours per night). She kept waking up 2 or 3 times right after she was put to bed, so I had to go back and pet her back for 5 minutes to put her back to sleep. I have the sleep sheep that makes soothing sounds too, however, it stops after 45 minutes. A friend suggesteg the Obus Forme.
The Obus Forme is great as there is the possibility to have continuous white noise. Since then, she sleeps her 7 to 12 hours without waking up at all !!! My husband and I love it too as it really help us sleep better. Every nursering room should have one!

We just moved into a house where my 8mth old and my 6 yr old have to share a room and this machine has been a blessing!!
Only problem I have with it is only 2 of the sounds are useable to us as crickets and birds are not soothing sounds ;) but the two that are good work!

Everyone has already commeted on how great this noise machine is for helping infants/children sleep. I just wanted to add a note on how durable this product is! I bought this noise machine from Well.ca two years ago and have used it all night every night for my daughter ever since and it is still going! Great product and great value.
Lili: a few months ago
Love this product -it's the key to my 18 month-old's sound sleep. The best part is that it can play continuously all night & the various sound options (my little one likes "rain"). If you're traveling in Europe I'd recommend using the battery option rather than the AC adapter with a converter. We used our first one in Europe with a converter and it fried the AC adapter. But the machine itself still kept on working w/ batteries no problem. We're now on our second one and swear by it.
Kristy: a few months ago
We already have a sound machine (different brand) but when my daughter arrived we put it in her bedroom to add some white noise. I was so happy to find this one. The sound selection is nice and the variable timer for shut off is a great feature too. Helps me sleep like a baby every night!
Kristy: a few months ago
I have been using this machine for the last 8 months with my daughter during naptimes and nighttime sleeps and it has a good range of sounds and the volume level gets loud enough to drown out background noises from outside. However, when you turn the volume **** the sound cuts in and out and I find there are times when the volume shuts off for a minute or so here and there. I run it for 15+ hours a day and it still works other than the volume **** glitch.

We sleep like babies -- every night is a summer night ... don't even hear the real thunder storms. Love it. Now how do I get rid of the morning alarm clock?
Emily: about a year ago
I have enjoyed this product very much! I love the simplicity of use and plan on using it in our baby's room once she is born.
Marissa: about a year ago
I can thank this product for sleep now!!! My baby was waking in the night at the slightest sound! We even had a HUGE thunderstorm last week and she didn't wake!
Gloria: about a year ago
I am very pleased with this sound machine. I prefer the Rain Forest and
Waterfall as the sound is consistent and helps me to sleep and at the
same time masks some of the outdoor noises
Diana: about a year ago
We bought this for use in our holiday trailer after our son slept poorly on our first trip. He is used to the fan that we run in our bedroom at home. Since we got this product he is sleeping just as well in the trailer. I love the battery feature in the trailer as we don't always have 120V to plug it in. Worked 2 full nights on one set of batteries which I thought was pretty good for AA's.
Rehana: about a year ago
We actually own two of these machines, one for each of my children. It's a great cue for them when it's sleep time, and helps block out the noise of my infant while my toddler sleeps. We have taken this on vacation with is, and I enjoy using the timer when we're using batteries so they don't drain out. Would recommend this product for those with children or a way to block outside noise.
Jan: about a year ago
I use this machine all night long so I don't hear the shuffling of my senior citizen mom on her many treks to the bathroom. Earplugs didn't do the trick, but the crickets, rain and shore sure do. The amazing thing is that the sound (even though I have it quite loud) isn't in my dreams, but seems like it just turns on when I wake up. The only problem is that I now don't hear any mosquitoes in my bedroom until they are right by my ear!
J: about a year ago
Love this machine and wished I bought it early. I have it in the hallway between both girls' bedrooms so one doesn't wake the other up. My 2.5 year old loves picking which sound she goes to sleep with.
Jen: about a year ago
Love this machine but the main sound I bought it for (ocean) has seagulls in it. This product would get a 6/5 from me if it didn`t have the birds in it. I like that it doesn`t only use batteries as we have it on all night. Our 5 month old still sleeps in our room and he has begun sleeping through the night since we started using the sound machine.
JJarvis: about a year ago
We are very happy with our purchase. We turn this on at night when our 4 month old goes to bed. Over time hes come to associate it with bed time and will sometimes settle himself and go to sleep if I put him in his bassinet while awake but gearing towards sleep. We use it to cut out any unexpected noises from us which might wake him during the night. It lets us clean, watch TV etc without waking him.
Michelle: about a year ago
I'm pleased with this sound therapy system. It has a good selection of soothing noises.
Justine: about a year ago
I love this product. I have a three month old and a two year old in joining rooms. I purchased a machine for each room, on continous play all night, and the boys sleep no problem. My three month old wakes screaming for a bottle at 3am and the 2 year old has never been woken up by him. Portable and easy to travel with due to the batteries. We use the rain noise mostly and it blocks out all the noises in the house. I LOVE IT !
Megan: about a year ago
Love this sound machine! Unlike some others on the market, this one includes both a timer and the option to leave it on all night. Good variety of sound choices and good volume as well. All in all a great buy!
Kathy: about a year ago
This product really surpassed all expectations all sound features really do their job- help relax by transporting you to another realm! The heartbeat was the only sound that doesn't really do it for me. Also appreciated are both the continuous play or timer option. This truly is durable, lightweight and compact for travel. Great for baby, self, and gifts!
Patricia: about a year ago
We spend the winters by the Gulf in Florida. My husband finds that the sounds of the waves help him sleep so much better. Back home he wasn't getting the same quality of sleep, so I bought him the Sound Therapy Relaxation System and now he is sleeping to the sound of the waves alll year round. His only minor disappointment with it is the sound of birds on the ocean wave tape. It bothers him until he falls asleep.
Michelle: about a year ago
Great sound machine- lots of sound options to choose from. Sounds are well done and you can't hear when they loop- truly continous. Machine is great to use in a baby's room. Continuous play option is a great feature lacking from other baby white noise products. The machine is also very durable and has survived a couple falls off tables.
Mya: about a year ago
This sound system is fantastic! I use it still with my 2 yr old and it really helps sooth her to sleep. It's so small and easy to bring anywhere. If you go camping the battery option is great. It drowns out all the noise by the campfire and makes taking naps a little easier. I also use it and my only complaintt is it's hard to now go to sleep without it!
Bill: about a year ago
Already had one and got a second for our second grandchild. Had a different one that shut off after 20 minutes. This one stays on as long as needed and both kids have better naps with it on. Grandma loves it.
JP: about a year ago
The original one did not work, but notified Obus Forme and they sent a replacement.
Erin: about a year ago
Best invention ever...I keep it in my baby's room. The creaky floors and two older noisy sisters don't wake her up anymore! Small enough to throw in the suitcase and take on trips. Love it!
jim: about a year ago
very happy with this item , everyone asks where we got it so i give them this site to get one for themselves
Gwyneth: about a year ago
I love this product - I mostly use the rain or waterfall and putting it on for one hour really helps me get to sleep. I am seldom still awake when it goes off after the hour and I do sleep better. Plan on buying a second one and would recommend it highly, especially at that price.
Connie: about a year ago
I like that it's not to big. It fits easily on my night table. I love that its portable so I can take with wherever I go. I also like the timer. I can fall asleep with the sound but it doesn't run all night.
John: about a year ago
Love this product....both kids....15 months and 4 years old have one in their rooms....we all sleep soundly .....rain and waterfall are the only two sounds we use....batteries are a great feature.for travel and for unexpected power outages in the middle of the night...small size is also a nice feature for travel....
Corrie: about a year ago
I love this product so much that I bought two of them so that I can have one in each of my kids rooms. I agree that some of the sounds don't work well for sleeping, but you only need one sound that you like anyway. I use the rain sound primarily and have it on any time my kids are sleeping. I have a nine month old and have been doing kitchen renos. My dad was using the jigsaw which was extremely loud and my son was able to sleep through it all with the sound machine on. The volume control is great, although some sounds are quieter than others. My favorite feature is that you can put batteries in it for easy travelling. I plan to use it in the summer when we go camping. Highly recommend this product, especially for those with children.
Jessica: more than a year ago
I bought this project for my baby's room. We live in a very old house with very creaky floors, and everytime we walked by her room, she would wake up. Now she sleeps through everything, and we don't have to worry about being quiet. I also bought one for my own room! My only complaint, as others have already said, is that some of the sounds are not so great for sleeping. I really like to sleep to the 'rain' sound, but the raindrops are a bit annoying. However, for the price, I think it's a great product!
Vera: more than a year ago
I have been using my ObusForme Sound Therapy machine for about a couple of weeks now. It provides just the right type of sound for me as I wake up several times a night and would otherwise find silence too uncomfortable. I am so glad a friend recommended this product.
Jenelle: more than a year ago
LOVE IT!!! After wearing out 2 CD's of similar sounds in my infants bedroom, this was such a great find. Another mom reccomended it to me and I am SO glad she did. We leave it on all night and she loves it.
Mary: more than a year ago
I found this product while trying to find a similar one given to me for Christmas. Unfortunately it (the Conair Sound Therapy Relaxation System) was only available at my local drugstore over Christmas. Over all, I prefer the Conair. It does not have as many annoying lights (why would you want lights when you're trying to sleep?), and it was considerably cheaper. Although the Obus unit has better quality sounds, it has much fewer of them, and does not have my personal favourite -- the stream. I bought three of the Obus Sound Therapy and gave them all to friends & family, but kept the original Conair for myself. I love it, and hope that they sell them again next Christmas!
Brenda: more than a year ago
Love this product. It's true, the bird sounds aren't great for sleeping with, but great to have on as ambient noise when the kids are playing. The waterfall and the rain are great for sleeping. We leave it on all night in our kids' room.
Michelle: more than a year ago
I'm a light sleeper, and I find the waterfall sound is great for drowning out any ambient noise. However, I don't find I get any use out of the other sounds.
Erin: more than a year ago
great product...perfect for our newborn's bedroom...he is much more settled with it on...love that it can stay on for an hour!
paul: more than a year ago
It's quite good, but I would prefer more choice sound of sounds without distractions. Although hearing birds and individual rain drops are soothing, it's not so good to sleep on. The waterfall, however, is very good to help sleeping with tinnitus.
cheri: more than a year ago
Great product, the sounds are soothing and calming. We keep this in our toddlers bedroom, he loves listening to the different sounds as he falls asleep.
Liannon: more than a year ago
We bought this sound machine after it came highly recommended by a friend. Our baby sleeps much better now. We use the rain setting and it seems to cancel out the ambient noise around the house that might otherwise disturb his sleep.
We liked it so much that we bought another for our toddlers' room.
Krista: more than a year ago
Great for baby's room! The waterfall one is the best and sounds most like white noise (and it's cheaper and just as good as the white noise machine from Baby's R Us).
Eriana: more than a year ago
I totally love my Obus Forme sound machine. A friend of mine loaned me her Conair when I moved into a new apartment and couldn't sleep because of the neighbour's television. I have anxiety problems; and the sounds of nature calm me and help me sleep- it also helps to calm panic attacks when a sudden noise wakes me up. I find that with the Obus Forme machine; the sounds are much more realistic. So it is nicer than the Conair. I do wish that more volume was available; sometimes it's not enough if the distracting noises are really loud.
Other than that, I have no complaint. In fact I have returned to this site because I'm going to buy a second one so that I can have "more" nature sounds. By the way; animals love them too- when my cats are frightened or not feeling well they curl up next to the machine!
Erin: more than a year ago
Sounds are realistic, fantastic product! I love how you can plug it in and it takes batteries for home or on the road.
jeanne: more than a year ago
Very nice, easy to operate- the rain and waterfall are quite tranquil. I have found this helpful in falling back asleep, meditation is not easy for me , I have an active mind. Worth the cost and not having to work with a CD player, the timers are very convenient, although I am running mine all night.
Received my machine in record time and in good shape.
gregor: more than a year ago
Not a good product. This machine has an annoying "click" sound every 5 or 6 seconds, when the sound track recycles. Also the "ocean" sound, which is my favorite sound, has screeching seagulls in the background which is not pleasant and is distracting. I would not recommend this product.
Sharon: more than a year ago
I was iffy on whether this was going to help my baby sleep better (he is 7.5 months and an okay sleeper but a light sleeper). He immediately was able to get himself back to sleep without me going in to give him his soother. He went from waking 3-4 times a night to not at all for the last 4 nights (I've used the sound machine for 4 nights)! I don't know if it is coincidence but it sure didn't hurt.
Cindy: more than a year ago
Great product. The waterfall sound is very similar to that of a fan. I had run a fan in the baby'ss room all summer but now that it is fall I can run the noise machine instead. Perfect! The only thing that would make this product better is having the volume and on/off separate so that you don't have to turn the knob to the desired volume each time.
hm: more than a year ago
For the two dollars more, get the conair sound therapy clock radio... just as good as a sound machine but also a useful alarm clock.
Elly: more than a year ago
I've used this with all my kids. I've found that it helps soothe them to sleep and best of all, it drowns out the sound of noisy siblings during nap times. It's come along on vacations and works wonders to make sure your little one can sleep in a strange sounding environment. When the kids get older, they enjoy pressing the buttons to discover the other sounds which add cool sound effects during imaginative playtime. Excellent product.
Nina: more than a year ago
We have been using this machine for about a year and half now. My son loved noise of kitchen fun so we put his bassinette in the kitchen until he grew out from it. The machine works as good as the fun :) We take the machine to trips and outings as well. Quite few mom friends asked me where they can get one. Good investiment!!
