My son is having trouble staying asleep in the morning and I think it is because he is hearing my husband getting ready for work. I was thinking to try a sound machine and am looking for a good recommendation on one. I looking for something loud and long lasting. Thank you.
Re: Recommend a sound machine please
I use this. Not made anymore. I had to buy all mine (4) off of ebay. They are wonderful. Nature's Soothing Sound Machine.
I don't have personal experience yet, but this is the one everyone has recommended to me:

We have this one for DS #1 and just ordered another for when LO #2 arrives.

We have the 980 model - I believe it gives you two options - low and high and you can adjust volume within both of those levels. Works great for us!
I have this one and really like it BUT the projector stops working. I am on my second one now and it still lights up, but stops moving. The sounds are good though. Baby prefers ocean and it gets pretty loud if you need it to. It has times settings or you can leave it on all night. We leave it on all night otherwise she wakes up.
We have a radio/CD player in DS's room. When he needs white noise, I turn the radio station to static. When we were visiting my parents recently and needed some white noise, we put an oscillating fan near his crib.
FWIW, we have the ever-popular "baby crack machine" (Homedics Soundspa Lullaby) and it does NOTHING for DS. He much prefers either the static sound or the fan.
We also have the Graco Sweet Slumber purchased in a pinch when our homedics version stopped working. I really like the night light feature, if you press on the top it makes the light brighter or you can turn it off for a softer light. I like the option.
The most important feature when I was shopping..was a machine that would run all night. One option I purchased and returned had a timer that maxed out at an hour.
I just picked this up at Target a few weeks ago. We love it so far!
