Yogasleep Dohm Classic Original White Noise Machine, Soothing Natural Sound from a Real Fan, Noise Cancelling for Sleep, Office Privacy, Travel & Meditation, for Adults & Baby, UK Plug Included

I've owned many of these units over the last 15 years, but were the versions from the USA. I tried this version and as many others point out in the comment section, there is no sound difference between the low and high, seems like always stuck on low, which is not near loud enough, so returned the unit.

I don't usually write reviews on Amazon but felt I really should in this instance as the Dohm has honestly changed my life. I suffer from a condition called Misophonia which means certain external noises can cause me a lot of stress and anxiety. Living in an apartment, this is obviously not ideal as you cannot escape external noise, whether it be traffic, neighbours tvs, doors slamming etc. Previously when at home I often resorted to watching TV, listening to music etc through headphones to drown this unwanted noise out.Since I got the Dohm however this has changed considerably. I find as long as I have it running on its maximum power setting I can comfortably sit at home watching TV or reading and I am not interrupted by external noises! I have tried electronic white noise machines in the past but as the noise is repeated, this can also irritate me, whereas the Dohm with it's fan creates a much more "natural" noise that is actually quite soothing to listen to, it's basically the same as having a large fan in the room. You can make adjustments to the volume and tone of the sound which is very useful. The only criticism I would really have is that between the two power modes available, I struggle to tell a difference in terms of volume. If I could have it slightly louder it would be absolutely ideal, but overall it has been a great purhase.

After reading all the positive reviews and advertisement, I decided to purchase this device to help stop outside construction noises coming into the bedroom. I placed the device by the window where the construction noises came in. I switched on the device and literally 5 seconds later I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and soon after I started to get a headache. So when my wife came home, without saying anything about my experience I asked her to try it out. When she switched it on she immediately said "I can could feel a sharp pain in the back of her head" and she started to get a headache! Somehow this device is emitting dangerously high level frequencies and is not fit for purpose and certainly not for baby nurseries as advertised! We did however tried to test this device to see if worked as advertised to "Provide excellent noise-masking capabilities" and "unwanted, disturbing or intrusive noise". When the construction noise started we switched on the device and it made no difference what so ever. The white noise sound which sounds like a noisy computer fan, simply added to the noise level of the construction noises. In other words we can still hear construction noises as clearly with or without the device switched on! I really cannot see how its possible for this device to provide any kind of noise-masking capabilities or from intrusive noises! So why all the positive reviews? I can only imagine that some people see it as a placebo pill and believe that such a device it going work and think it does, when its doing nothing! The sad truth is it does not work and I had to send mine back for a refund! This product should really be taken off the market or at least tested under EU standards for suitability. If I could give no stars I would, but I am forced to give one star to write the review!

If your bedroom is too quiet (some townies have this problem in the country), and you just like a bit of background noise, this device will serve you well. But if (like me) you want to block out noise that stops you sleeping, you will probably be disappointed. When the blurb said it has no loops, I wrongly assumed this meant the device produces a generated electronic white noise sound. It doesn't. It is a fan in a box with holes in. It's a very well made fan in a box with holes in, and will probably run for thousands of hours, but the sound is produced mechanically, not electronically, so there is no volume control. For me, it wasn't loud enough to drown out anything. I also take issue with the instructions, which tell you to put the device on the other side of the room so the sound 'can fill the room'. This is twaddle. Sound (like light) obeys the inverse square law, which means the further away it is, the quieter it gets. If putting it further away allowed it to fill the room, then I could put my headphones 10ft away, and they would fill the room wouldn't they? Clearly not. The sides and the top of the box can be rotated, and the fan has two speeds, moving the slots and changing the speed creates a tiny variation in the tone, but it is basically a quiet whooshing noise. Exactly what I want, only way too quiet.Get a cardboard box, cut some holes in it, put it over a desk fan, and you will get the same effect. As for the price, well the device is very chunky so I suppose it has a good quality fan inside. But £60 is a lot for a fan in a box with holes in.

It's quite an outlay but much cheaper than a revolver or removals . My neighbour is prone to loud phone calls,and is possibly a Tinder user, if you see what I mean. She is obviously too foolish to move her bed away from the wall. She, also likes listening to gangsta rap or playing silly computer games in her spare time, of which she has many, many hours. Yes I have complained. But without naming the name of what I think her work actually is, hard to complain. Also has noisy child and a lover man that is his father. Poor kid. Now this little machine will be enough to deafen me to her low level annoyances such as her blathering at night and noise from gaming ie skyping or whatever. It will not disguise the bass if gangsta rap or when she is shouting and over excited. Unfortunately the walls here are paper thin which is the main problem I guess. I am terribly sensitive to noise and even this unit gets on my wick but it does flatten out noises that make you jump. I'm hoping that in time I will find it's hum more comfortable. It has a fan within which creates a whooshing sound. It can be set to high or low speef. You can adjust the tone and volume by twisting the top and sides. It's quite uncomfortable to twist the sides tbh and this is why they created the version with grooves I guess. I have fibromyalgia and so sleep is essential to me. I also sometimes use wax earplugs. I turn the unit off and remove the earplugs sometime when it's all quiet. I like the fact the unit has a monotonous sound. I sent back a unit with loop tapes of tweeting and dripping noises. The latter made me want to go to the bathroom. Some units are simply digital recording. This unit actually produces a sound. So don't expect New Age rainforest. It also produces a bit of ozone due to the fan which I really like. Anyways I shall give it a whirl and see if I can existentially and kindly eradicate my vile neighbour and her predilection for excitement and shagging. Cheaper than a solicitor.

So i'm suffering with hyperacusis i believe, i can hear TOO well and i currently use a lectrofanevo and other things to distract myself as i can hear even the quietest of noises... For example: my pc is silent with noctua fans but even at 400rpm, i can hear them and they sound buzzy (Any airflow to me does). This was meant to be there for when i wanted a break from the lectofanevo noise - i like my portable AC on fan mode so i wanted this to prevent me getting cold from the AC. However, this device is very loud (not sure why comments say it's quiet) and more importantly... it causes a ton of vibration. Simply holding it, is like you're using a power tool, the rubber feet it has is pretty shoddy - i tried placing it on a mat to dampen vibration but it's just noisy regardless. It wouldn't help me in any way.
