I didn't realize how many people suffer from constant ringing in their ears, caused by damage to the tiny hair cells in the middle ear. This can happen due to infections, toxins, or loud noises, and I believe my case was caused by a combination of ear infections and cobalt poisoning from a hip implant. The constant ringing can be especially bothersome at night, affecting sleep. Many sufferers use a fan to drown out the ringing, but I wanted a more compact and travel-friendly option, so I bought the Riptunes sound machine. I am very pleased with it - the size, look, and feel are great, and the controls are easy to use. There are different nature sounds, white noise, and fan sounds to choose from, each with adjustable volume. The unit is compact and fits easily in a suitcase, and can be powered through a USB port. I haven't had it long enough to speak to its durability, but I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I wrote previously about how much my family enjoyed the Riptunes sound machine, and we decided to try out their new model. The new one included a built-in night light and was much easier to use than the original. It also had a wide variety of sounds, was portable, and had a more compact and solid design. The machine exceeded our expectations and we ended up giving away the original one. Our son loves the lullaby song and the night light helps alleviate his fear of the dark. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase. If you found helpful, please hit the Yes/Helpful button to encourage me to write more. Thank you!

My wife works nights and struggles to sleep due to outside noise. We purchased the Riptunes white noise machine as we already have an older model and love it, so we wanted to add a second one to maximize coverage in the bedroom. Other white noise machines she has tried weren't loud enough or had poor sound quality at higher volumes, but the Riptunes doesn't have that issue. It can get extremely loud and drown out most outside noises. The machine has different sound options including different types of fans and white noise. It also has a timer and remembers your settings. The only flaw is that the nightlight is too bright on the regular setting, but this is minor. Overall, I highly recommend this white noise machine to everyone. It's the best one I have ever used. 5/5 stars.

This sound machine seems unrealistic and doesn't offer many good options.

This product is simple to use and is a good choice for a night light in the bedroom. However, some of the sounds are not very clear and it primarily includes chirping birds. It's not my top pick for aiding sleep.

Poorly constructed and not worth the investment.

The sound machine has some garbled sounds that make it difficult to discern what the sound actually is, especially for the rain and thunderstorms.

As a renter who relies on white noise to sleep, I've been experimenting with different sounds to find the most effective one for me. Some of the options I've tried have been rather annoying, so I'm still searching for the right sound.
