Tips on Getting Your Baby to Sleep
Dr. Harvey Karp, author of “The Happiest Baby on the Block”, offers some tips on how to get your baby to sleep.
Baby and Hair Dryer
Here is a video of how the noise of a hair dryer helps instantly calm a crying baby:
Baby and Vacuum
Here is a random video I found showing how white noise or vacuum sounds can help a baby instantly relax and sleep:

What about masking tinnitus?
White noise is often used to help a person sleep, or at times to help someone with tinnitus. My white noise is pure, real actual white noise and can be used for any white noise purposes. However, please always check with your medical doctor first for any questions concerning your hearing, safety, and health!
Does your own baby use these sounds?
Due date for our first baby is May 1 2009. So baby is coming VERY soon. I’ll be sure to post feedback of how these sounds go with my own baby. My wife was looking into purchasing a white noise CD for the baby when I then promptly made my own sounds and this website. 
You will have to try out and see which sounds work well for your own baby. Please let me know- I’d love to hear feedback of what works well!
Are other white noise CDs really that bad?
YES.
The audio quality from literally ALL other companies selling ‘white noise’ or sounds to aid sleep are very poor. So poor that I cannot believe they are even calling them white noise, let alone selling for such ridiculous prices.
You can use programs such as Baudline to analyze audio and see the audio signal visually.

Now take a look at two companies offering poor quality audio at ridiculous prices.
One claiming 20 years experience and the finest white noise available; the other claiming to be a ‘specialist in the field of white noise’. Don’t believe everything you read. You can see why I was so unsatisfied with these ‘white noise’ companies.
Perhaps these shady companies are more accurately a specialist in the field of marketing buzz words!
| Company X ‘White Noise’:
Not white noise. |
Company Z ‘White Noise’:
Better, but not white noise either. |
