FAQ

Is it possible to run the machine all night, without the auto-off? I am looking for a machine that can run for hours, without having to turn on repea

I have run mine 24 hours a day for over 7 years now!! I turn it off when I’m out of town…maybe 3 or 4 weeks a year. Nice reliable little machine.

Does this machine emit light (e.g., LEDs) during operation? If so, how bright is it?

Yes, and I find it very bright. So much so that I have to cover it with something because it illuminates the area next to my bed and around the device. (It’s the only thing I don’t like about it and I wonder why they put the light on the machine – if the machine is making noise, it’s obviously on!) I put a piece of black electrical tape over it.

Can you plug it into an electrical outlet or does it have to be used w/ batteries?

We use the outlet but also have batteries in it in case the power goes out. That way it doesn’t shut off and wake the kids.

Does the ocean sound have the seagulls as well looking for one with just the ocean no birds.

The version I have has seagulls in it. They’re obnoxious and why I never use the ocean setting. I bought mine in 2011, though, so maybe it has changed since then.
