I love this sound mixer so much better than the standard white-noise machines which, while they give you a choice of many different sounds, you can only ever play one at once. This one allows you to mix as many sounds as you want (or only one if you prefer!) for a much more natural ambience.I bought one of these years ago and loved it, but my daughter also loved it so much I ended up giving it to her. I bought this one as a replacement, and I like it even better! The only thing I didn't like about the old one was the "flute" sound was too repetitive and limited in range. The flute on this one is much improved and the loop is now undetectable. I like to mix it in at relatively low volume with crickets, wind, rain, waves and thunder to give myself a nice "haunted woodland" atmosphere to sleep in. (What can I say? I think haunted woodlands are cool!)Unlike the old model it also has the option of a night-light in several soothing colors and a snooze timer that will shut it off after 30, 60, or 90 minutes. I don't use either of these functions but I thought I'd mention them in case they might appeal to others.Since these are electronic sounds they do "loop," but even when playing just a single sound, the loop is hard to notice. Since the length of each sound is different, mixing several sounds makes the loop of any one of them completely undetectable.You've probably already noticed this is one of the more expensive white-noise machines on the market, but good sleep is priceless, and this sound mixer is worth every penny - so much so that I literally bought it twice!

The fact that you can select from a choice of settings to create and then balance out a complete soundscape is fantastic. The light option with choices of colors with varying intensity is great ambience as well. I previously had a sound soother that I had to return. My main setting to fall asleep is a rain and a thunderstorm. On the previous model the overall sound was good but the background rain was too low and the thunder was blasting in comparison. On the Brookstone, I dialed in the amount of rain that I wanted, and then brought up just a bit of thunder. The result reminded me of a rainstorm with rolling thunder in the background. This and the cool under cab lighting was perfect for a blissful night of sleep. The only thing that I would have liked would be headphone and a line out jacks to hook up a small sub for a little more bottom end, but as is, I am very satisfied. Not the cheapest sounds soother, but your choice of customizing the sound choices and the intensity of them with the sliders is huge!! No other sound soother that I know of will offer this.

I bought as a present for my family member who had a prior Brookstone sound machine product for the last decade. The sound mixing concept is wonderful and the buttons allow the right amount of 'give' just like a real sound mixing station. Highly recommend. Read more

Compared to the 4 other white noise machines I tested this had the highest quality feel. Happy with it and keeping it. Read more

My husband has a hard time sleeping without background noise, so I got him this for his birthday and he loves it! He looks forward to going to bed now. The sound on this is great and it’s very easy to use and adjust the different sounds. Read more

Good value Read more

I was a little apprehensive about the price on this product. I had tried one of the homedic brands and I didn’t care for it. After I got this and plugged it in I knew right away it was well worth the money I spent on it. The sounds on this also work well for meditating. Great product😎. Read more
