We are huge fans of white noise in our house.
With five children I feel like I have tried every sound, noise, and light machine out there.
Some are really disappointing, in particular because they fail to be loud enough... but that is NOT the case here. This Housbay Sound Machine has the option of being whisper soft... and then you can increase sound until it's rather loud. I LOVE THE VOLUME. I use one in my own room to drown out snoring... and it is actually loud enough! win!! At first I was disappointed there was not an option for ocean sounds. I guess I didn't look close enough at the description; however, I am really pleased with all the other sounds, in particular, the fan noise (which you don't find on most machines) is very soothing. I have found my newborn/young babies always did better with those solid repetitive noises rather than intermittent things like waves and birds etc. The basics of the fan or simple white noise options are great on this machine.
Further, the rain sounds are lovely. I'd been trying to use my echo dot for evening rain/thunder sounds; however, the various tracks run on different volumes so it would either be too quiet or too loud and when it changed to a new track it caused frustration. This machine is better for us because it is steady and can play all night long.
I am happy with this Housbay machine.
I don't see any issues at all.
We've been addicted to the iPhone app TMSoft's Brown Noise setting since my daughter was born 4 years ago. However, I've been using it less and less for her due to fear of wearing out my phone. I decided to look and see if there were any decent, cheap-ish options on Amazon. I was expecting to pay $50+ for a decent sound machine.
This has a great, low brown noise setting that my daughter and I love (like waves rushing together, a deep white noise sound that is the BEST at erasing outside noises). There is a lullaby setting that my daughter loves, which I switch to brown noise after she falls asleep so cars, dogs, etc don't wake her up. (It doesn't really cover any noises, but it relaxes her.) There is a range of white noise settings that my husband enjoys, as he prefers the higher noises. I enjoy cycling through the deeper brown noise settings, the medium noise settings (would that be pink?) and the higher white noise settings.
Good volume control, whether you want it very quiet or very loud. It is directional, but I solved that by pointing the machine away from the sleeping person and bouncing it off a wall. No discernible loop from the settings I've tried.
After a month, I'm back to purchase another one for the other bedroom.
I needed a machine w/ an audio outlet and this is the best machine I've ever used. From many choices, I found the low pitch "white noise" which works for me. I live in NYC and there's monster HVAC unit in a landing near our bedroom window.Easily adjusting the volume knob, I found the right volume which cancels out the outside noise and is low enough for me to sleep. For those who use them, there are many nature and fan noises from which to choose. It has a volume "knob" which is easy and more accurate than pushing buttons. Small but plenty of volume.Once you set a particular white noise, that noise will automatically repeat every time you turn on the machine.
I got this sound machine to drown out the noise of my boxer puppy's loud human like snoring and other common household noises.
I used it for the first time last night and it works GREAT. I used to be woken up by my dog snoring right next to my face and what not. Last night I slept clean through without issue, so the machine did it's job.
There's multiple sounds to choose from and the timer option is a great feauture. I only wish the timer had multiple hour options instead of just 90 minutes max.
The sound quality is fantastic as well. There's also a headphone port if you'd like to use a set of headphones instead.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the way the machine performs. Thankfully I can sleep through the night now.
WE really like and use the 4 different sounds ie. Lullaby, forest etc. for our baby! However we don’t like or use the 12 fan sounds or 12 white noise sounds as there isn’t much difference between them. All 12 fan & white noise sounds just vary in volume basically no difference at all! I would have preferred different sounds in place of 24 basically the same! Other than that it works well!

I'm an Electrical Engineer and in the late 80s I designed my own white noise generator. I would stuff my own PC boards and place them in antique radios that I gave to friends (and used myself). This little unit provides all of the sounds necessary for white noise so that you can enjoy a peaceful sleep while masking car doors slamming, loud cars, dogs barking, doors slamming in a hotel, noise from adjacent hotel rooms, and especially snoring. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how loud this unit can handle the sounds. This makes an excellent gift for someone at a very reasonable price. Especially, for those that travel.
As always, HOUSBAY makes fantastic products and has fantastic customer service.
The device is not battery operated, but it has a plug-in charger with a USB port in the charger. This makes it environmental friendly, and you can use any USB charger, in case you lose yours. This makes the product easy to use and easily accessible.
There are twenty-eight options. Twelve for Fan Sounds and twelve for White Noises. The four preset options (Forest, Summer Night, Lullaby, and Rain) are amazing quality. My personal favorite is Rain.
The volume control is amazing. It's already loud on its lowest setting, and quality isn't lost when you raise the volume.
The headphone jack works very well!
The timer is separated into 15, 30, 60, and 90 minute options. You can shut it off by pressing the button after 90 minutes. The LED indicator makes it easy to keep track of the timer.
Overall, this is a fantastic product, and it works well with the HOUSBAY alarm clock.
I really liked the sound quality of the speaker. Its compact size speakers produce nice low / hi pitches. Convenient sleep timer is a plus. It has 12 fan sounds / 12 white noises / Forest / Summer Night / Rain / Lullaby sounds. The buttons are reasonably easy to operate and the unit memorizes the last played sound when switched on next time. The unit is sturdy and has a non-slip base. It is slightly heavier than one would think for the size. The unit is loud enough for a large bedroom. It also comes with a headphone jack.
It comes with a USB power adapter (1amps) and detachable USB cable that has standard USB on one end to connect to adapter and the other end has a “coaxial power connector”. I wish it had a micro USB on the other end so that we could use regular cell phone charging cables.
I wish there was an aux port or a blue tooth connection! This works well as designed and does what it is supposed to do.
Update:
Customer service saw this review and sent a replacement.
So far so good. Thank you for making an effort to make things right. New unit works as should!
Original review:
Total bummer. Sounds were OK.
Volume was good. The volume knob always needed a wiggle to make any sound. I should have returned right away. Now it wont stay on for more than 30 seconds. Return window closed. Landfill space.
Just as the other reviewers said, this is the best-sounding sound machine I have ever found. It does get really loud. I love the variety of sounds it has but especially the white noise and fan sounds. I also like that you have the option to leave it play all night long and it can be plugged in (rather than using batteries). I was pleasantly surprised that you can not only plug in headphones but can plug in speakers where the headphone jack is. I have struggled with insomnia all my life and am a very light sleeper. Outside sounds and sounds in the house wake me easily. I was using an old radio (plugged into speakers) in between stations to get a static sound. However, whenever there was a lightening storm, it would surge the sound really loud and I about jumped out of bed. This has a more consistent sound. I also enjoy relaxing to the other nature sounds of jungle and storm. Even without plugging this into speakers, its own speakers sound better and can go louder than any other sound machine I had bought in the past. It is like they thought of everything when they made this. I do not see anything that could be improved. I very highly recommend this and would give 10 stars if I could.
