For the summer, we were using a window air conditioner on the fan setting. The "white noise" level was perfect. Now that it's cold out, we have taken the AC out of the window. Any suggestions for a good sound machine? We aren't necessarily interested in one that only plays music or jungle animals...but more of the white noise, fan sound. My son is a very light sleeper and white noise has been lifesaving!
TIA!
Re: Sound Machine
No baby yet, so can't speak from experience but we are registered for this one:

Good price, good reviews and not too ugly/big.
I never bought a specific sound machine, but I had an iHome alarm clock that we had in our guest room (which became the nursery), which I now just plug my ancient Nano in. I bought a white noise song off iTunes, and play it on repeat. Just an option for an item that will have a use after baby gets a little older and doesn't need a sound machine per se.
I didn't notice how old your LO is, but realized after DD spent the weekend at my MIL's without a sound machine around 10 mo's old, that she actually still slept fine without it. Terrifying to not use it at first, but haven't had an issue since, and I'm glad to get rid of that sleep crutch. Just a thought! Disclosure - we do use a humidifier just about everynight, so there is still a slight fan noise in her room.

This is what we have. Love it so far.
We have this one for both kids. the projector dies quickly if you leave it on all night, but the sound machine part is awesome.
We have one for each kid!

This one! We had a used one for 6 months, and used it all night and for all naps. We got a new one, and have been using it for more than a year and a half.
