It’s a shame that it doesn’t have an internal rechargeable battery, but the option to power it either with the included power adaptor or USB cable gives some flexibility. I also like the minimalist design and the fact that it’s relatively small, so it’s easy to transport. That’s also a good feature if you’d like to play white noise in a kid’s bedroom, as it’s best not to play it to them all night. It also has two useful features that make it more flexible to use: a headphone jack for private listening, and auto-off timers if you don’t need to listen to white noise all night. In the photos below you can see the Lectrofan’s Evo’s easy to use buttons and the headphone jack

The white noise itself is dynamically generated rather than using recordings, which results in a constant sound that doesn’t loop or go silent before repeating. So it’s capable of blocking out louder noise that might be reaching your bedroom, such as noisy neighbors, music, or traffic. The speaker quality is excellent compared to most white noise machines, and it had the loudest maximum volume when I did a volume test of noise machines.

Think powerful waterfall or TV static, and you can imagine the two ends of the spectrum it offers. I personally find brown noise much more relaxing, especially when I’m trying to sleep. And I like how it doesn’t just have intense white noise, but deeper colors like pink and brown noise too. It has a wide range of white noise and fan sounds, ranging from standard bedroom fan sounds to a hairdryer and industrial fans. The LectroFan Evo has a good range of sounds (22 in total) and incremental volume controls, so there’s a lot of flexibility to find the right combination of sound and volume for your particular setting. It’s also useful to have a good range of volume so you can block out louder noise if you need to, but turn it down when it’s quieter outside. So it helps to have different sounds to choose from so you can experiment to find the most effective one to combat whatever external noise is bothering you. The most important job of a white noise machine is to block out external noise by replacing it with a sound that’s more relaxing and constant. After that, I’ll go over each white noise machine in more detail. You’ll find an overview and comparison tables first to give you an idea of the ones I’ll be talking about. In this review, I’ll be discussing the white noise machine that I’ve found to be most effective, along with some budget options. If you like nature sounds, such as rain, waterfalls or crickets, keep in mind that each white noise machine will have a different selection of nature and ambient sounds. So if you specifically need to block out loud external noise rather than just listen to relaxing sounds, it’s worth considering those with multiple white noise options.

White, pink, and brown noise also tend to mask external noise better than fan sounds or nature sounds. If they have pink or brown noise, that can be more relaxing to listen to for extended periods of time than intense white noise. If you like white, pink, or brown noise, some white noise machines come with a good selection of noise colors. The recordings can be pleasant to listen to as well, but don’t sound quite as authentic. It’s not a common design, as most just use recordings. If you like the sound of fans, but don’t want air blowing around your room, you might like a white noise machines that contains a real fan. The bottom three (Dreamegg D11, LectroFan Evo, Yogasleep Travel Mini) play different selections of white noise, fan, and nature sounds. The top two (Dohm Uno and Snooz) contain a real fan. In the photo below, you can see five of the white noise machines I tested before writing this article. Which type of white noise machine to choose? They are very easy to use, don’t use much power, and do a good job of blocking out external noise. One of the main reasons to use a white noise machine is to replace disruptive or intermittent noise with a constant background noise of your choosing. If you need to block noise out, there are various options to try, such as earplugs, headphones, speakers, or a white noise machine.

The last thing you want to listen to is your neigbor’s 80s hits playlist on repeat, the dog who secretly sings opera while their owner is out, or passing drivers with more subwoofer than sense. Other people’s noise can be annoying at the best of times, but it’s particularly difficult to ignore sound we don’t control when we’re trying to sleep, work, or study. As Marie de Rabutin-Chanta once said, “We like no noise unless we make it ourselves.” Considering she lived in the 1600s, I can’t imagine what she’d say if she visited me in New York City.
