Unfortunately this product was inoperable when it arrived. After a few days, I tried turning it on again and it worked, but only for about 3 days. When it worked, it was wonderful. In particular, I enjoyed the wave sounds. Volume was adjustable and could go from low to high with a good range. I was impressed with such a small portable size producing such a full range of sound. I was looking forward to being able to take it with me when I travel, but alas, that will not be the case.
Amazon customer service was very accommodating when I attempted to return the product and issued me a full refund, although to my surprise they told me to just dispose of the item rather than send it back. This gives me the impression that I am one of many experiencing this issue. Upon further investigation, I discovered the reviews noting counterfeit products from China, and much to my shock and dismay, indeed, my product has China imprinted on the bottom with none of the markers characteristic of the Marpac products (initialed and dated with USA declaration). I ordered the larger Dohm sound machine directly from Marpac and confirmed that there is indeed a USA marker, accompanied by initials and dating by quality assurance. I have had no issues with the Brand name product since purchase and will most likely re-purchase the portable version again through them in the future. I sincerely encourage Amazon to stop selling these counterfeit products as it discourages me from trusting that any of their products are legitimate.

What is White Noise?
White noise is more than just recordings of ocean waves and rain sounds. White noise is a collection of sounds that has the same intensity through the audible range, creating a uniform sound perfect for masking loud disruptions. In other words, white noise “smooths” out your audible environment for sleeping, studying, focusing, and more! While we call it “white noise” because that’s the most commonly used industry term, our Yogasleep by Marpac products are actually creating pink noise. If you sample white noise, brown noise, and pink noise, you will quickly hear that actual "white noise” is annoying to your ear and not conducive to sleep!
Our signature white noise sound contains less high-frequency sounds. Not all white noise is created equal, and we strive to make ours the best. Our sound conditioners produce only the highest-quality rich, robust sound that fills your environment with soothing tones.
Take Great Sleep with You
The Rohm Travel Sound Machine lets you take control of your sound environment — anywhere — so you can live (or sleep) your very best life, uninterrupted. Take the soothing power of white noise on your next vacation, flight, business trip, or weekend away to ensure quality sleep in potentially disruptive environments. The Rohm promises a quality night’s sleep on-the-go so you can tackle whatever is on your travel agenda – from work conferences, important client meetings, or a packed family vacation itinerary! The travel white noise machine is rechargeable using an included USB cable making it safe for domestic and international travel and works with any USB plug or adapter. The lanyard makes for easy handling and hanging while traveling – just loop it on any doorknob or hook. The Rohm is compact and portable and offers rich and robust sound in a small package with a volume range of 0 to 85 dB.

Natural Sleep AidWhite noise is the 100% natural solution for getting the high-quality sleep you deserve, night after night. Enjoy a night of deep sleep without grogginess, drowsiness, or other nasty side-effects that occur from sleeping pills. The steady sound of white noise helps you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. Harness the power of sound to create a sleep-centered environment! |
Blocks Outside DisruptionsGently blocks disruptive sounds of the outside world in your home, office, hotel room, or vacation home. Effectively buffers outside noise disruption from noisy neighbors, barking dogs, snoring partners, chatty coworkers, and city sounds. Also helps with managing tinnitus symptoms. |
Privacy and ConcentrationUse white noise in your office, study, or classroom to minimize outside distractions so you can focus on the task at hand. Sound machines are a low-cost way to ensure sensitive topics and discussions are kept confidential in your private practice or waiting area. |

USB RechargeableForget batteries and electrical outlets - Rohm can operate all night long on a single charge and comes with a convenient USB cable for recharging. |
Compact & PortableMeasuring at just 3.5" in diameter and under 4 oz, the Rohm fits easily in a carry-on bag or backpack and won’t take up precious packing space or weight. Hang it on a doorknob or hook with the removable lanyard for easy handling. |

We use this religiously for naps and at night. We started sleep training and I really think this was a major reason it went as well as it did. It was as if the noise told my son “ok, it’s time for sleep now.” I wouldn’t recommend sleep training to anyone without a sound machine!
7 Month update:
It has given me fits about not turning on or staying on! I contacted the customer support and within 3 hours I had a return shipping label and a new one ordered! Wish the original would just work but great customer service makes up for it!

Great customer service!
By Sam S. on October 8, 2018
I put off buying a white noise machine until now...my son is 7 months old. On vacation, we borrowed this one from my sister and he slept so much longer! I had been using a free app before and it just wasn’t the same. I hated spending $30 on this but I’m glad I did! I like the different noise options and that I can adjust the volume (although I always leave it on high!) I also like that it can be used cordless for travel or naps that aren’t in his crib for some reason. I also like how it is small and not bulky! Would definitely buy again.By Sam S. on October 8, 2018
