    Sleep/Sound Machine Recommendations

    Good evening all, hoping someone can help me out.

    A family member wants one of them sleep/white noise machines for Christmas and I am not sure which one would work best.

    They want one with more options than just the white noise, and if I am playing by the rules of "Secret Santa" it should $100 or under.

    I saw this one:

    Any other recommendations are greatly appreciated.

    If they have a smartphone:

    Apple Store
    Android

    Works well for me. Has fan, rain, beach, chimes, campfire, etc., and can mix to make flaming thunderstorms or whatever knocks you out.

    Rainy Mood? I have a 30 min rip which is sufficient, I just set it to loop. It's wonderful in that it's rain, with some storms, and hints of an Amazon rainforest. By 15~ minutes I'm usually asleep.

    I occasionally mix it with some super soft earplugs.



    Side Recommendation:
    Cheap MP3 Player with a screen, 16gb or 8gb should be plenty.
    Stash background noise tracks on it
    Buy some cheap speakers
    Should cost less than $100
    Plenty of "options" to boot, with the option to delete/add more

    Thanks, looks like I will go with this and an Itunes gift card and let them decide.

    Appreciate the help and feedback!
