Dream calm white noise machine faqs

White noise machines work by producing a consistent, unchanging sound that spans a wide range of frequencies, similar to the sound of rushing air or a waterfall. This sound is known as white noise because it contains equal energy across all audible frequencies, blending together into a smooth, continuous sound.

When the white noise is emitted by the machine, it effectively masks or "fills in" other sounds in the environment. This masking effect helps drown out background noises that may be disruptive or distracting, such as traffic, conversations, or household sounds.

White noise machines typically have adjustable volume settings, allowing users to control the intensity of the sound to suit their preferences. Some machines also offer additional features, such as different types of sound (e.g., pink noise, brown noise, nature sounds) or customizable timers.

Overall, white noise machines create a consistent auditory background that promotes relaxation, masks disruptive noises, and helps individuals focus, sleep, or unwind.

Yes, white noise machines are safe for babies and children when used appropriately, however it is essential to follow some guidelines.

🌙 Volume: Keep the volume at a safe level. The noise should be at a level that is audible but not too loud. Excessively loud noise can potentially harm a baby's hearing.

🌙 Placement: Place the white noise machine at a safe distance from the baby's crib or sleeping area to prevent the sound from being too intense.

🌙 Duration: Use white noise for a reasonable duration during sleep or nap times, but avoid continuous exposure to white noise throughout the day and night.

🌙 Variety: Consider using different types of white noise or nature sounds, as prolonged exposure to the same sound can potentially desensitise the baby or child to its effectiveness.

🌙 Monitoring: Monitor your baby's response to white noise. Some babies may find it soothing and helpful for sleep, while others may not respond positively.

🌙 Consultation: If you have any concerns about using a white noise machine with your baby or child, consult with a paediatrician or healthcare provider for personalised advice.

Overall, when used correctly and in moderation, white noise machines can be a safe and effective tool to help babies and children sleep better by masking disruptive noises and creating a calming environment.

The best place to put a white noise machine for babies and children is on a stable surface such as a nightstand, changing table, or shelf, about 1-2 meters away from their crib or bed. This ensures the sound can gently fill the room without being too loud or too close to their ears. Ensure it's placed safely out of their reach to avoid any potential hazards.

When using it in the car, you can hang it on the grab handle near the window. Ensure the noise level is low enough to calm and soothe the baby without being too loud.

You can easily pop it on the pram, ensuring the noise level is soothing and not too loud for your baby.

White noise is often described as a hissing or static-like sound, similar to the sound of rushing air or a waterfall. White noise is unique in that it masks or "fills in" other sounds in the environment by providing a continuous, steady background noise.

The term "white noise" comes from the field of signal processing, where it is used to describe a signal with a flat frequency spectrum. In essence, white noise contains all audible frequencies at equal intensity, resulting in a consistent, non-distinct sound.

Sounds below 70 decibels are generally considered safe for the ears. These sounds are relatively quiet and may include typical background noises in a quiet environment, such as a soft conversation, rustling leaves, or the hum of household appliances.
