Marpac Yogasleep Whish Multi Sleep Sound White Noise Machine

I bought the product as I have a noisy neighbour. I selected ‘stream’ sound and am using that regularly. The unit is a great size for my bedside table. I turn it off when I get up during the night - don’t need to use timer. - love the option to turn up loud ! I’ll also probably use the calming sounds ie ‘restore’ for meditation etc (Posted on 29/10/23 )

Excellent product, made a huge difference to noise reduction (Posted on 2/8/23 )

Excellent device, great variety of sounds and very easy to use. (Posted on 27/7/23 )

I was having difficulty sleeping due to noisy neighbours. I had been using earplugs, but they didn't work very well. Since using the Yogasleep I am sleeping soundly as I am no longer disturbed by neighbours noise or early morning garbage trucks etc. Love this product. (Posted on 20/7/23 )

I’m a bit disappointed that you can’t set the timer on this product to 1 or 2 hours, just 6 and 12. Also, the on/ off buttons and volume buttons are not easy to find in the dark . Otherwise it’s good. (Posted on 5/6/23 )

Great for getting off to sleep and masking outside noises (Posted on 22/2/23 )

After suffering insomnia for 30 years exacerbated by shift work and menopause, sleep was more often than not elusive. When I did get to sleep and awoke during the night, that was it. I was wide awake and any chance of sleep had passed.
Now I drift off to sleep with the sound of the ocean and if I do wake during the night I drift almost immediately back to sleep, even if I get up for any reason. Without doubt the very best money that I have ever spent on myself. (Posted on 6/12/22 )

LOVE this machine, I am now buying my second since my toddler broke it but it's so worth it. Most sound machines are just baby sounds or different types of white noise, I love this one has some nice ambient, meditation style music/sounds which we found more calming when settling baby than any irritable white noise. (Posted on 12/7/22 )

Purchased for my 4.5 month old son in preparation for sleep training. This product looks great, transports easily and has so many white noises to choose from. The volume could go a little louder, but that is my only concern. Otherwise a great product (Posted on 15/6/22 )

Purchased this product recently. Easy to use. Plenty of options to help you sleep including a timer. Compact machine with great sound quality. Recommended. (Posted on 21/5/22 )

Great purchase !! I love all the relaxing sounds on the bottom of the machine. It’s great for bedtime and meditation (Posted on 19/5/22 )

Love it, it does make a difference to nap times and even bed times. The background noise is very effective, I also love how there are other options, like stream, ocean, meditate, relax and rain. I use it when I am working from home as something to listen to, very calming (Posted on 11/4/22 )

Great little machine, we didn’t get it for a baby we got it for a nervous dog and it works a treat. (Posted on 3/3/22 )

I highly recommend this machine to help kids with autism and adhd to try and be calm gave self regulation and to help sleep (Posted on 5/1/22 )

Great machine, but the timer is 6 or 8 hours. Kids sleep 10-12 hours at night so unless you’re up for a feed or the toilet it will switch off then your bub will wake. It’s frustrating for me, so I’ve had to invest in another brand.
____________________
Sleep Solutions - the machine will by default run continuously by default – it has 2 timers an option to turn off either after 6 hours or 8 hours - to reset from timer mode - simply unplug the machine and plug it back in and it will again default to continuous play mode. (Posted on 24/12/21 )

Prompt sevice and delivery and love the product (Posted on 1/12/21 )

Very good product, clear sound, helps calm the mind and minimise other sounds around (Posted on 28/11/21 )

Relaxing sounds, great for sleep. (Posted on 11/11/21 )

I don't regret buying this, but it is not as good as hoped for me, and I would say it really depends on the individual if it works for them or not. First, like other reviews, there are big improvements they could make to this - changing the power source (though I could see this usb version useful for travel), making it be "lightable" at night, so you don't have to switch on a light in order to change any settings. The sound options are okay - I usually use the deeper white noise one, but still with earplugs on. If noise disturbs you regardless, you will probably still want to wear earplugs to drown out some of the whitenoise, while it attempts to drown out the original noise you don't like. (Posted on 19/10/21 )

Impressed with this machine. Great for noisy neighbours and light sleepers. We also feel like on the fan setting we sleep more deeply Would recommend! Only downfall is doesn't come with the socket adaptor which is why I gave it 4 stars. (Posted on 18/9/21 )

My 6 and 8 year old girls have had used white noise/ ocean sounds as part of their bedtime/ sleep routine since they were newborns. We did have a CD on loop playing in their rooms but this has been the perfect compromise - so little and beautiful options for sound. (Posted on 15/9/21 )

This works perfectly for us, lots of settings and volume options (Posted on 29/8/21 )

We got this when our baby was just over 3 months old & it instantly helped her fall asleep at night! She’s slept through the night since she was 6 weeks old so I can’t comment there, but it’s definitely helped her even go down during the day. We’ve even slept more deeply with it on & feel much more rested in the mornings now. Wish we got it sooner, even without kids. We will be getting another when she goes into her own space!! Very happy. Read some reviews about ppl complaining about sound options, but I’m glad it didn’t deter the purchase. We love it! Thank you!!!! (Posted on 28/8/21 )

I bought this for ADHD son that needs noise to sleep. It has worked perfectly and now he doesn’t wanna sleep without it! (Posted on 13/8/21 )

It is nice and compact so not intrusive on my bedside table. It has good volume and several sound options, although I have my three favs which I will use. (Posted on 12/8/21 )

Bought this after moving into an apartment with a lot of road noise, it has been brilliant! (Posted on 12/8/21 )

Quick delivery but for how expensive this machine is, it’s not worth the money. Sounds like it’s in a tin can and the volume doesn’t go that loud. (Posted on 10/8/21 )

Very convenient, worked superbly.. (Posted on 23/7/21 )

I love love love this. Best sound machine (probably 4th I’ve tried) and this has been the best. Great sound, volume, the sounds are actually lovely to have in background for my baby but also for yoga too (Posted on 20/7/21 )

This machine is easy to use, compact, good volume control etc.
The only drawback is the sounds are repetitive, I can't use some of them because I find myself waiting for the loop. (Posted on 20/7/21 )

Excellent reliable product (Posted on 11/7/21 )

Using the yogasleep to cover up outside noises like rain or a party next door is very effective! (Posted on 7/7/21 )

Bought the Yogasleep Whish to replace the fan I kept on all night to block sound and tinnitus. I'm so glad I did. So much better. And heaps of other sounds to choose from too! Portable as well, so great for travel. (Posted on 6/7/21 )

Great sound machine. (Posted on 26/6/21 )

Worked as expected (Posted on 26/6/21 )

Just wanted to thank you for my beautiful Marpac Yogasleep Whish Multi Sleep Sound machine which I've had for a couple of weeks now. I love it. I have been using it to sleep by, and when I have a business project happening which requires me to be deeply focused, I have been taking it into my office and have it gently playing in the background. Wonderful! Thank you again. (Posted on 17/6/21 )

Quite disappointed that I haven’t had a positive experience with the white noise machine. The lowest volume is not low enough and have found if anything it keeps me awake as I’m listening to the sounds. I now use the chimes when I read but have given up trying to get used to it for sleeping. (Posted on 3/5/21 )

Kids are sleeping better than ever. I highly recommend (Posted on 9/4/21 )

Really happy with my purchase. The only thing that would make it better would be optional cord-free /battery use. (Posted on 30/3/21 )

I purchased two different options and this was by far the best. The fact it plugs in (to a USB port/charger) and doesn’t rely on the intermittent of a phone or tablet device makes it super user friendly for the less tech savvy. Great for my mother suffering from insomnia associated with medication. She feels confident to use the machine by herself (Posted on 26/3/21 )

Delivery super quick, product extremely simple to use. I use it every night. Good selection of quality sounds, good volume options. I take this everywhere with me even when staying away from home. Highly recommend. (Posted on 28/2/21 )

Fantastic for blocking out neighbourhood noise and barking dogs. A variety of different sounds and there is something for everyone. I like the whitenoise 1 and have it on at night on lowest volume. Haven't been woken up by unexpected noises yet (had a few weeks now). Worked better than I expected it to (Posted on 24/2/21 )

The design of the sound machine is lovely! It's very cute and small and the sounds have been very helpful to both my toddler and also my husband (who works nights and sleeps in the day).
The only gripes I have are that it can only work while plugged in. Now, this is on me because it actually states that in the description, but somehow I must have glossed over that and thought that the USB charger port means that it can be charged and then used later. But that's not the case, it literally has to be plugged in to work. So that means that I need to keep it near to the wall socket at night, and can't move it to be closer to my son while he sleeps. It means that he continuously wants to play with the electrical socket and pull it off the plug and yank on the cords. If I'd properly been aware of this then I wouldn't have bought this exact product and would have gone with something that can be charged to use later, or can take batteries. Having this for a toddler would be much better if it was portable and mobile.
The charger cord is also only 1-metre - so keep that in mind when planning where you want to use this device. We had to rearrange our room to have the little table near to the wall socket otherwise we would have had to keep the sound machine on the floor while in use. (Again, this was all written in the product description with: "Uses a USB cord plug in - no batteries required" but I mistook this thinking it was chargeable. But it's not.)

The other thing is that it says it has "16 sound options, including Marpac's signature white noise", and honestly, the 'dohm 1' and 'dohm 2' sound the same to me, and 'dohm 3' & 4 are all VERY similar. I can't tell how they're so special, nor what makes them different to the white noises. I feel like saying that there are 16 different noises is a bit of an over-exaggeration. The signature dohm sounds really just seem like generic white noise variations. The ocean noise is also very similar to a white noise. (you can find examples of all these noises on their website before you buy it) However, on a good note: the chimes, meditate, relax, restore and calm noises are all very different and all very very lovely. I sometimes use these while I'm working for background noise and really enjoy them. I also enjoy the 'rain' noise for sleeping and this seems to be the one my toddler prefers too.

My only other issue is that there is a 'timer 1' and 'timer 2' button which I believe are timers for 6 & 8 hours respectively, but there is no light on the machine (probably good for night-use I guess) but that means I can't tell which button has been selected nor when it was selected. So if I put our son to bed, and I push the 'timer 1' button, then I can look at my clock and know what time it will turn off. But if someone else turns on the sound machine and makes a selection then I will have no idea of knowing if it was set to 6 or 8 hours nor when it was set. This is slightly annoying to be honest.

So, one of the features of this explains: "Compact, sleek design fits in anywhere. You can even take your sleep environment with you to get a better rest on the road."... but I'm really not sure how someone could take this on the road. You'd have to make sure that while you're on the road you have a viable electric source, or could plug it into your laptop while you sleep.

So I gave this 3-stars. It's very pretty, some of the sounds are just lovely, and it does it's job - but it's also very inconvenient and you have no way of knowing which button you've selected after you've selected it. In hindsight, if I'd done a bit more research I don't think I would have bought this one. But, it does it's job and we're stuck with it now :) (Posted on 15/2/21 )

My 18 month old has very broken sleep and never attached to comfort items.. This assists him to have solid sleeps! (Posted on 15/2/21 )

It works well. (Posted on 24/11/20 )

Very easy to use and really effective white noise to help sleep, would recommend. (Posted on 16/11/20 )

I bought the Whish to counteract the noises from an inconsiderate neighbouring tenant. It has proved to do that and to allow me to get some sleep. The choice of sounds is extensive and not having to rely on battery power is ideal for required all night operation (Posted on 10/11/20 )

Really happy with the Whish. Have a very noisy neighbour downstairs and is the first time using it I'm able to decent sleep. It has excellent levels of volume control and various sounds to select from. It's great that it has a USB cable, easy to charge. My mum just ordered one after trying mine out. I'd recommend to anyone. (Posted on 2/11/20 )

No longer need to use an iPad this is great (Posted on 23/10/20 )

We're getting a better sleep. Machine is versatile and adjustable. (Posted on 10/10/20 )

Definitely helpful for getting to sleep. (Posted on 6/10/20 )

My breastfed 4 month old was waking every 2 hours overnight for comfort/feeds so I had decided to purchase this in hopes of getting a bit more sleep for all of us. This has been a blessing. He's 10 months old now and from 4 months he's learned to self sooth with the white noise from 7pm to 6am!

You will not regret the purchase. Go ahead! (Posted on 29/9/20 )

Good variety of sounds, but lowest setting on volume is not low enough so I have to place the device in a cupboard to reduce sound. (Posted on 27/9/20 )

Just what I needed: the ocean is my favourite 'white noise'. Highly recommended, with one suggestion: a longer USB cable would be good. (Posted on 14/9/20 )

Great product, replaced our old mechanical version and great that we have that as an option of the old unit sound on the new one. Only slight issue was the short USB cable but we fixed with an extension. (Posted on 4/8/20 )

Simple product, clear sound and easy to use (Posted on 3/8/20 )

It’s a great alternative to having the fan on. Good range of noises and the volume is perfect (Posted on 22/7/20 )

Bought for my anxious daughter who is 7 to help her go off to sleep. She loves it and uses it any time of day. Well worth the money. Thank you (Posted on 21/7/20 )

A very good variety of sounds. The quality is good for such a small speaker. Some sounds are louder than others on the same volume setting so you have to experiment. My only criticism is that I would have preferred the volume to be more sensitive rather than preset volumes. Some sounds are too loud on one setting and too soft on the next so more control of that would be perfect. But overall it does what I expected it to do. Its compact and does not take up too much space on the bedside table. I would recommend it. (Posted on 18/7/20 )

Great product and very fast delivery! (Posted on 15/7/20 )

I bought the machine for the sound of rain. The steady rhythm of rain has always been a comforting sleep-inducing sound since childhood. Unfortunately, the machine delivers rain in 'waves' instead of a steady patter. My brain finds this annoying instead of calming. Maybe it's is just my brain? I'll try some of the other sounds before re-gifting it! I gave it four stars just in case it is my brain, since I seem to be the only user who has a problem. (Posted on 14/7/20 )

Great sound quality. Would highly recommend. (Posted on 5/7/20 )

Great for babies rooms for sleep. The best part is on this model there are no batteries to replace. And the best part is there is a timer function but we needed it to play continuously through the night with no breaks in the loop which some apps and white noise tracks do which can cause a pause to wake them. This machine has continuous play back option as long as you need it. Great machine. (Posted on 17/4/20 )

It's hard to tell from the videos but the sound quality is really good. That was my greatest reservation about buying but no regrets here.
We have a creaky house, so take helpful to get our kid, who is a light sleeper, to sleep tight the night.
Recommended! (Posted on 15/4/20 )

We love this machine, it's simple enough that our 5yr old can operate it and I love that its plug in. (Posted on 13/3/20 )

Purchased the Marpac Whish Multi-Sleep Sound to use as a 'white noise' device in our clinic waiting room. The addition of music and chimes and nature sounds is an added bonus. Now we don't need to worry about changing CDs and the sounds are generic enough to be enjoyed by all, melodic enough to not feel repetitive. Very pleased with purchase. (Posted on 21/11/19 )

Amazing selection. This would be 5 star if the USB cord was longer. It is way too short and limits where you can put the unit. (Posted on 19/11/19 )

Very happy with this product. Sooths my anxious mind. Only negative is I would prefer if the plus and minus on the volume control were more prominently raised so I could feel them in the dark to adjust the volume. (Posted on 4/11/19 )

Fantastic product. Several sound options to choose from. Very easy to use and provided a smooth transition as my sons started sharing a room. Would recommend this product. (Posted on 30/9/19 )

Just the thing for noisy neighbours. Just use the sound that suits you. (Posted on 19/9/19 )

Cannot recommend this Marpac Whish enough. Such a great product.
We are using it for our newborn and she is sleeping much better since having it. We are enjoying the white noise so much we will have to buy another marpac whish when she moves out of our room. So many sound options as well. I also really like that it looks nice on the bedside table.
Cord could be a little longer but that is only a minor issue. (Posted on 27/8/19 )

The features are great. So many sounds to choose from. It is light weight and compact. No more sore ears from earplugs. (Posted on 13/8/19 )

I bought 3 Whish to counteract the noise from a nearby nightclub. My partner tried one at home and ordered 2 more. We demonstrated our Whish for a neighbour who has difficulty sleeping due to a medical problem and she ordered one immediately as she was so impressed.
Working off mains power means that the machine can be used all night without running down batteries. The controls are simple. The choice of tunes is perfect.
I highly recommend this product. (Posted on 4/8/19 )
