White Noise Machine
A plug-in white noise machine with 20 sounds and a timer. Small enough to toss in a suitcase.
$18.69
This is a basic white noise machine with 20 sounds — white, brown, pink, and blue noise, plus fan and nature sounds. They don't loop, so you won't hear a clicking break every few minutes. It has 32 volume levels and a timer you can set for 1–5 hours, or leave it running all night.
It plugs into the wall or runs off USB power. The box includes both cables, so you don't need to dig up extra accessories.
Some Walmart reviewers say theirs died after a few months or that the sounds feel thin. It's a $20 machine, so durability is a gamble. Probably fine for travel or testing whether someone likes white noise at all.
Why it works
- 20 non-looping sounds — no clicking break every few minutes.
- Timer or all-night mode, depending on preference.
- Includes both AC and USB cables in the box.
Who it's for
- Someone who wants to try white noise without spending much.
- A light sleeper who travels and needs something small.
What to know
- Some reviewers report it dying after a few months.
- Sound quality is fine but not amazing — this is a budget option.
