I sleep a lot during the day so I thought this would help me block out other outside daytime noises. I found that I could not sleep with any of the noises it made. I like it quiet. But my oldest child has issues sleeping so I let her try it out. She loves to listen to the ocean noise on it and found that she falls asleep easier and quicker. I like that it has a timer with different times to set the noises to. I also liked that it has multiply sounds to chose from. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
