Amazon.com Hands-On Review
For parents whose vocal cords can't hold out for 200 rounds of "Hush Little Baby," a sound machine is a must for baby bedtime routines. And the DEX Sound Sleeper is one of the best ones we've ever found. This small (6 by 10 by 12 inches), simple device features a high quality speaker, on/off or 60-minute timer switch, volume control, single, combine, or random mode, battery or power adapter capability, headphone jack (headphones not included), and, most spectacularly, 10 sound options which can be combined to make 24 sound combinations altogether. Doctors and sleep experts recommend a consistent, relaxing sleep routine for newborns and older babies. Freeing baby's sleep environment of jarring or distracting outside noises is an important step in creating a soothing space for sleep. The Sound Sleeper provides just enough peaceful background noise to block household hubbub. Once baby becomes familiar with the sounds of this machine, she'll probably start yawning the minute she hears it! The Sounds of (Near) Silence
The sounds of Sound Sleeper don't have to be boring, just relaxing and repetitive. Experiment with the various sounds to find the perfect soporific. Summer Night
The buzz of peeper frogs and insects is a happy, sleepy, country sound. Rain
What's cozier than curling up in bed with a gentle rainstorm pattering outside the window? Brook
Burble, burble, burble—just don't try this one when your toddler is potty-training! Ocean
The deep tranquility of a calm ocean is unmatched for its lulling ability. Wind
The wind blows quietly in the trees, but you and baby are safe and sound at home. Womb
The rhythmic swishing sounds of the womb: it's a natural for soothing baby! Seagull
Just a few lonely seagull cries, widely spaced. Bird
Pretty, delicate bird song. Buoy
The distant ringing of a bell buoy. Great in combination with the Ocean sound. Thunder
Thunder rumbles, but the storm always stays far off in the distance. Best combined with Rain, of course. Experiment with the Combine mode to find the perfect sleep-inducing sounds for your baby. We like Brook and Bird, Wind and Thunder, and Ocean and Buoy, but who knows? Maybe the magic combination will be Womb and Seagull! The power adapter feature of the Sound Sleeper is very handy for everyday use, but the battery option is a lifesaver when traveling. The ability to leave the sound machine on all night long (or put it on the one-hour timer) is invaluable. Babies are notorious for waking up throughout the night; when they hear the same soothing sounds they fell asleep to, it will be much easier to return to those sweet dreams. Requires 4 AA batteries (not included). --Emilie Coulter

 We love it November 2, 2008
David Kirkpatrick (Oklahoma)
We've heard complaints about the sound level not being loud enough on this machine. We have not had that problem. We did find tho that if you press and hold the volume button it won't get louder... you have to tap it to increase the volume. If you do this, it gets plenty loud. We are glad we bought it. It's a great background noise machine and we sleep like babies with it. We have no complaints. We would definitely buy another one. :)

This product was great for the first six weeks I had it but now it doesn't work....so I think either I have a defective one or they need to work some bugs out.

My daugher is 15 months old and is a very light sleeper. When my older kids walk past her door talking, she wakes up. I ordered this product when a family member suggested a white noise machine might help. I was willing to try anything and this really, really helped. My daughter loves it and I have no problems getting her to sleep. Some stuff still wakes her up, but it's really loud noises or yelling. If you are having the same problem, I absolutely recommend this. We leave it on the random setting and she sleeps very soundly for three hour naps now.
 Nice sounds; does not block out external noise August 24, 2008

I bought this to use in my baby's room and I do like the relaxing choices of sounds. I always leave it on the ocean waves. However, it doesn't block out external noise/sounds as much as I hoped it would, so I still have to use another machine that sounds like a whirring fan (white noise) so she won't hear the TV, etc. It is great in the car, though. So small you can just pack in the diaper bag and turn it on in the car to help the baby sleep.

I read every review and thought I would give it a try. The sounds are fine but the volume does not go up very high at all. We don't have any other kids, so our home is quiet for the most part. I think the baby will be able to hear it, if its close to him but I don't expect it to drown out any other noises in the house. It's too bad because I think some of the sounds are pretty good, some however are kind of weird just white noise. Its okay for the money. I am probably just going to deal with it rather than return it.
