If you live in a noisy apartment block, close to heavy traffic, restaurants or an airport, then you know how infuriating these noises can be when you are trying to sleep.

Why is the HoMedics Sound Spa Portable Sound Machine so popular?

Customers love the HoMedics Sound Spa because it looks great, is light weight and portable, it works off both batteries and mains power and it has both white noise and plays 6 natural, relaxing sounds to help you drift off to sleep.

Customers also like the fact that the soothing sounds are high quality and actually sound very natural and not tinny at all – like some other sound machines on the market today.

HoMedics Sound Spa vs Marpac DOHM

First of all the Marpac DOHM only plays white noise, not natural sounds, whilst the HoMedics plays both white noise and natural sounds. When comparing the quality of the white noise between these two noise cancelling machines, the white noise from the HoMedics Sound Spa is a high quality digital recording, whilst the white noise from the Marpac DOHM is generated by a motor.

This latter point is important if you are looking for a white noise machine, because some people prefer white noise generated by a motor. Customers also say that the volume of the HoMedics Sound Spa is also a lot louder than the Marpac DOHM and because of this, some say that it masks the sound of very loud snorers better than the Marpac.

How does the HoMedic Sound Spa help you to sleep?

Homedics Sound Spa People usually have problems either falling asleep or staying asleep and some people have both problems.

The HoMedics Sound Spa works so well, because whether you use the white noise or any of the 6 digitally recorded natural sounds, these sounds help you to relax so you can fall asleep much easier and quicker.
