What’s the Best Way to Block Unwanted Sound?
People like you constantly ask… What is the best way to block annoying sounds, other than wearing earplugs, to help me sleep? White Noise!
For over 50 years, white noise has helped millions of people worldwide take back control of their lives and sleep! White Noise is a godsend for helping combat noise.
What is White Noise?
In a nutshell, white noise is commonly used to mask background sounds. White noise provides a soothing, calm sound that helps obscure unwanted sounds and is commonly used to encourage healthy sleep.
It reduces the noise around you that grabs your attention and steals your sleep! Noises that commonly prevent you from falling asleep or that cause you to wake up in the night is masked by a calming background shhhhhhh.
If noise hinders you from achieving a good night’s sleep or triggers you to wake up whilst asleep, white noise can be beneficial. Sound machines are valuable whether you need help drifting off to sleep or to help stay asleep.
Sounds that commonly annoy us, including tinnitus, disappear from our hearing, resulting in a long, restful sleep.

The Marpac Dohm DS, known as the best white noise machine since 1962 (that’s a long time in business in anyone’s eyes – so they must be doing something right!), is a dual-speed sound machine that generates soothing white noise and masks unwanted sounds to create a sense of calm and relaxation.
Many people, young and old, have been using & recommending the Marpac White Noise Machine to achieve a better, more restful night’s sleep for many years.
White noise sounds like rushing air and is perfect for adults, children, and babies with trouble sleeping. Continuous white noise machines are also commonly used in office environments to mask distracting sounds, improve concentration, and increase privacy.
Dohm White Noise Machine has evolved over the years to become the world leader in personal white noise machines. It features two power levels and the ability to adjust the tone and volume of the white noise generator.
Natural White Noise
Many sound machines use short “loops” that simply repeat the same sound repeatedly. Playing these small bursts of sound can often be annoying over time. This can often lead to more anxiety than relaxation!
The Dohm DS uses natural white noise, containing an actual fan inside. The Marpac Dohm White Noise Machine is unlike MP3 downloads, CDs or smartphone apps because it does not use loops or artificial white noise.
Many people try using smartphone apps, downloads, and CDs to produce white noise for sleeping. Most people find these small bursts of sound irritating, which defeats the purpose of a sound machine creating a soothing background for sleep.
How Does White Noise Work?
The idea of adding more noise to your sleeping environment to promote sleep may sound counterproductive, but it works. White noise blends the external sounds (barking dogs, traffic etc.) into the overall background noise, so your brain pays less attention.
Our hearing has evolved as an alarm system and continues to work even when we are asleep. Most people become conditioned to most background sounds unless they are highlighted on our rational radar as needing attention.
For some people, it is not necessarily the volume of noise that keeps us awake but the context of the sound. This is why some people can easily fall asleep in a crowded club. I am not one of those people! Similarly, a dog barking in the distance can cause a person to startle in their sleep.
Sound masking is achieved when you disguise the noise by adding white noise to your bedroom to mask the frequencies of the white noise signal.
Another analogy of this, again using light… Picture yourself in a dark room where there is no light. Now imagine a torch is being shone on your face. What happens? You notice the light immediately, right? However, if you were already in a well-lit room, the light of the torch would go unnoticed because the bright lights already in the room would mask it.
People not only use Dohm White Noise Machine to achieve a night of more restful sleep but also to help with concentration during the day, especially those on the autism spectrum or with ADD/ADHD syndromes.
What About Music to Aid in Sleep?
Extensive research has been carried out to determine music’s effectiveness in improving sleep quality. Music has been shown to improve the quality of sleep. However, studies have proven that music can stimulate emotional reactions in a person. These responses, associations and memories can hinder rather than promote efforts to sleep.
A wide range of frequencies of sound is required to mask unwanted noise. Music does not contain the range required to do so. As such, it has been concluded that music is generally more suited for rest and relaxation, rather than as a means to block out other sounds to achieve a night of restful sleep.
While turning on a fan or keeping the air conditioner running can produce a constant “hum”, these devices typically produce sound in a repeated pattern, which is distracting in itself. Plus, a ceiling fan or air conditioner does not mask unwanted noises from neighbors or the street. A white noise machine is a much more effective alternative and provides the perfect background noise for sleep.
The Dohm, formerly known as the Sleepmate sound machine, is a small, lightweight and portable white noise machine, which makes it the perfect travel companion. You can easily take it to create a calming and peaceful environment.
Commonly used for office privacy and sound masking of conversations in adjacent rooms. If you do not want someone to hear conversations inside a room, you simply place it directly outside the room so that people will hear the white noise, not the conversation.
Creating the consistent, smooth sound of rushing air, the Dohm White Noise Machine helps control unwanted intermittent or continuous noise from;

Babies & White Noise Machines
Many parents’ sanity (& sleep) has been saved simply because of white noise machines for babies.
White sound machines produce a soothing effect on babies. Have you ever found the sound of the vacuum, hairdryer or washing machine calming your baby, especially if they are unsettled? Ever wondered why?
Babies are used to muffled noise in the womb. It is a huge audiological adjustment when they are born into the world. Wombs are noisy little homes, and newborns are used to sounds. Sudden loud changes in noise easily startle them and wake them from their sleep.
The Dohm White Noise Machine operates at 60 dB, the same volume as normal conversation, making it an extremely safe, natural and effective sleep aid that is not damaging to hearing.
What The Experts Say About White Noise
“`White noise,’ such as the continuous, monotonous sound of a vacuum cleaner or a recording of ocean waves, can often relax and lull your baby…. “
-Mayo Clinic, Complete Book of Pregnancy & Baby’s First Year
“A baby who cannot relax can be helped to do so by a variety of constant rhythmical stimuli…. it will work if the trouble is some kind of general and diffuse irritability or tenseness which is preventing a tired baby from relaxing into sleep. The burring sound of a fan or heater works excellently. So does the sound of a car engine.”
-Penelope Leach, Your Baby & Child From Birth to Age Five
“Many Babies Cry because they were born 3 months too soon! As helpful as [womb simulation] is for calm babies, it is essential for fussy ones… Every traditional baby-calming technique around the world imitates the sensations of the womb.”
-Dr. Harvey Karp, M.D., The Happiest Baby on the Block
“Sounds that involve all the frequencies audible to the human ear and are continuous and monotonous are very effective in settling the restless baby and keeping her asleep…. The lower, more monotonous, and rhythmical the tone, the more soothing…. Sound ridiculous? Not really. If you have ever had a fussy baby, you will try anything that works.”
-William Sears, Keys to Calming the Fussy Baby
