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.

This a solid, high quality white noise device which is compact and easy to use. Was drawn to this device because instead of being an electronic looped fan sound it is actually a fan producing the perfect white noise. Needed this as my neighbour has a cinema speaker system on his TV and can hear it through the walls, though not loud but was very distracting when trying to watch my TV. This has worked very effectively by drowning the unwanted sounds out and replacing them with white noise which isn't distracting. The device is easily adjusted by turning the top to decrease or increase the intensity of the fan sound and works very effectively. There are two fan speed settings though there is very little difference between them. There is no or very little air flow emitted from the device so won't cause any unwanted air flow. Dropped one star for two reasons, firstly it's quite expensive for a small fan in a box (cheaper than soundproofing the walls though which was something I looked into) and mainly because I ordered a black one to be less obtrusive visually (on dark furniture) but it came with a white cable which might sound picky but I found it annoying. Well made and does the job so would recommend.

I've had one of these 'white noise' sound conditioners for over 5 years: this is my third and the others still work fine. I've been very pleased with the product and now consider it a godsend. I was highly sceptical about the device originally but had read such favourable reviews, mainly on the Amazon American site, that I thought it was worth trying for the price. I'm so glad I did. I live in a community where there is a lot of potential for noise at night, mainly from other residents. I have excellent hearing, and over the years, I've become hyper-sensitive to noise, almost obsessional. I also have mild tinnitus and tend to "listen" for noises, focus on them, rather than ignore them. After a while, I can get very stressed and, subjectively, the disturbance seems to get louder and louder; I simply can't switch my brain off. Consequently, I get little or no sleep when this happens. Sometimes, I even dread going to bed in case the disturbances start again. I don't find earplugs comfortable and anyway they sometimes trigger my tinnitus problem. The Dohm was suggested to me. It looks like a round, plastic drum, similar in size to a small cake tin, which plugs into the mains. The UK version has a lengthy cable with a 3-pin UK plug. Important to check that detail as it's a US product. There are 3 simple controls - an on-off/dual-speed switch, an outer ring or collar which adjusts volume and a rotating cover on top which adjusts the tone. It sounds like a fan: a mechanical hum with the sound of rushing air. I read somewhere that it is best positioned at ear level and away from you in the room - mine is on a table about 3 metres from my bed. I accustomed myself to its sound for a week or so by using it only when I have a nap as it takes a while to get used to.....just like any other background noise at first! I find that if I listen to the regular and predictable sound of the machine, I simply don't "hear" the other noises which might be disturbing me. I suppose it re-focuses your attention and your brain tunes them out. The result is I drop off naturally; if I awake during the night (which I have done for years now), I listen to my Dohm so as to get back to dreamland. Of course, I could just be describing the somnambulistic benefits of an ordinary electric fan but I can only tell you that I've tried those and they don't work for me, becoming simply another obtrusive irritation. There is definitely something therapeutic about this particular sound. Unlike some other white noise generators, this device does not rely on tape machines or computers so has the advantage of being very simple, highly portable and, in my experience, very reliable. The device won't suit everybody, of course, but I can recommend it if you are disturbed by nocturnal noises. It is certainly worth trying. Be patient with it, though, and give yourself time to get used to it. I think that when you become very habituated to the sound of the machine, you barely even hear it at all and, magically, tune out the other potentially disturbing noises as well. Believe me, it was money well spent. LATER ADDENDUM: I discovered recently that if it's the noise insulating property of this device that appeals to you (as it does me), and if you have a largish bedroom, you might try 2 machines. I have mine placed well apart and both set to low. I find it very effective. Just a thought.... I don't have shares in Dohm, by the way!

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!

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.
