Sound selection and quality
The sound is very high quality, with the wind rushing being unique to this machine when compared to competitors. This is often preferred to the digital sounds commonly offered. However this wind rushing is the only sound offered, making the selection non-existent. Also due to the nature of the technology, there are only two speeds of wind, which equates to volume. This leaves many users complaining that it is either too loud or too soft with no way to adjust to a middle ground.

The company that makes this noise machine have been around since 1962, and it seems like the design hasn’t changed much since then. Definitely not one of the sleek offerings we’ve seen from other machines.
Brightness of display
There is no display, with no external lights, thus providing no opportunity to disrupt sleep with light.
