LectroFan Evo - White Noise Machine and Non-Looping Fan Sounds with Sleep Timer (White)

Product Information

The maximum volume is so loud, there’s not a lot of external noise that your ear will be able to pick out. Hunter, scientific director for audiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, cautioned that some devices are capable of putting out noise far higher than that. While it masked softer noises like the freeway traffic as well as the LectroFan EVO when behind a closed door, sounds such as barking dogs or talking people required higher volume just to blur the noise, let alone completely mask it.

So whether with or without earplugs, the Lectrofan Classic sounds better than the EVO and offers more flexibility for masking sounds that keep me from sleeping. As explained earlier, different noises have higher intensities at some frequencies and lower intensities at others. Changing the battery in my smartphone or iPad is likely going to cost more than the whole Lectrofan.

After testing 12 smartphone apps in 2016 and another three ( White Noise Lite, Deep Sleep Sounds, and Relax Melodies) for this update, we still like myNoise best. Most of its white noises exhibit a larger frequency range, and this helps to better mask higher-pitched sounds, such as the squealing and screeching parts of traffic noise or construction noise. White Noise is broadly spread across the sound spectrum, including low-frequency, mid-range, and high-frequency sounds. And secondly, the choice of ten white noise sounds, ten fan sounds, and two ocean surf gives you plenty of options to mask different types of noise, be it traffic, a neighbor’s music, or a noisy housemate. On the higher end, the Dohm can reach only 69 dBA—other machines can run louder, but we doubt you’d want a white noise machine louder than that.

In addition, an algorithm mixes the recordings to avoid discernable loops, and you can also layer soundscapes (bells chiming in the rain, for instance). Molti nostri clienti ci riferiscono di aver usato LectroFan per bloccare rumori distraenti e creare ambienti più tranquilli per le stanze dei loro bambini o neonati. With most noises, the difference in performance is small, but it is nice to have the extra flexibility.I’ve lived in Brooklyn for eight years, so you would think that I’d finally be able to fall asleep to the city’s sounds, but alas I am as noise-sensitive as ever. The LectroFan EVO offers some nice features that weren’t on older sound machines that we had been using previously. While I don’t need it all that often, it would be nice to have a headphone jack (like on the EVO), so perhaps ASTI can add one to the Classic as well? With a more contoured shape and a ridged surface, it’s easier to twist and adjust (though it can still be a challenge if you have dexterity issues, in which case you’ll want to consider the LectroFan EVO or the Sound+Sleep, which use buttons). Accordingly, it sounds earthier and more natural—like a whir (as you’d expect from a fan), as opposed to static.

There’s one button to cycle through the times, and only a subtle change in the beep tone to tell you that you reached the maximum of eight hours. You can create playlists, mix and match sounds (heavy rain plus city streets, for example), and record your own looped sounds—or listen to and share those from other users’ creations—in the White Noise Market companion app, where you’ll find such eclectic offerings as “Kona rainforest rain” and “Icelandic wind.It’s nice to have options, but those who like the specific whoosh of an exhaust fan might prefer the audio richness of the Yogasleep. The current drawn by the Lectrofan, in particular at a low volume, may be too low for some auto-shut-off power banks. The LectroFan EVO is the follow-up to the classic LectroFan but features a new design and two new ocean surf sounds in addition to the 20 fan sounds and white noise variations. The loud sound of barking dogs was more difficult to block, but it was at least made less annoying with the machine set to “coral” (a bit higher pitched than pink noise).

To boost the noise blocking performance of foam earplugs, white noise with a large frequency range is very helpful.

Le son constant et relaxant d’un ventilateur, du bruit de vagues, du bruit blanc, rose ou brun peut vous aider à dormir plus rapidement et à rester endormi plus longtemps en vous aidant à éliminer les bruits environnementaux qui pourraient vous réveiller dans la nuit. I then evaluated the best of the bunch—the Yogasleep Dohm, the LectroFan, the LectroFan EVO, the Sound+Sleep, and the Snooz—against recordings of common nuisance noises, including a drill (video), a party (video), a barking dog (video), and vehicles on a freeway (video), played at the highest volume from a laptop set on a table in the living and dining area of my apartment. But it has just two colored-noise options (and a crashing-waves setting), and the controls are on the side of the machine, which means you have to pick it up to make adjustments.To learn what features to look for in white noise machines, we spoke with Michael Perlis, PhD, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine whose work includes studying the use of white noise machines in treating insomnia.
