better is if it would have had a radio built in....then it would have been perfect! Sound Soother White Noise Machine The number of sound options is nice. The alarm setting is a bit long and easy to mess up. The sound function did not work once after I had turned off the power strip it was hooked to. I just unplugged it for a couple of minutes and it reset itself. Exactly what we wanted! Puts me to sleep every night. The White Noise Machine is Wonderful This was a gift for my twenty-something daughter. She was actually using a box fan in her room (even in the winter!) to create white noise in order to sleep. She now uses the white noise machine faithfully, enjoying the sounds of nature to sooth her to sleep. The fan in back in storage! Thank you. Great sound machine I find this sound machine to be a great value. It provides enough different sounds that everyone can find a sound they like. I also like that it has a timer so the sound will play up to an nour and then turn itself off. This machine works very well to block out noises and provide a soothing sound to fall asleep to at a reasonable cost. love some of them, but staticky speaker The songs are great but only need to use the quietest setting possible and then you can still hear Static/or White noise in the background. i dont know if
