Dohm Classic Natural Sound Machine
The Dohm Classic is the gold standard for mechanical white noise, using a real internal fan to create an organic, non-looping sound. Unlike digital machines, it provides a physical 'whoosh' of air that lacks the subtle audio artifacts or loops that can disrupt deep sleep cycles.
Quality & Materials
Constructed with a high-quality, dual-speed asymmetric motor and a durable acoustic housing. Hand-assembled in the USA since 1962.
Evidence & Testing
Mechanical white noise has been the baseline for clinical sleep studies for decades. The Dohm is UL listed and specifically recommended by the National Sleep Foundation.

Value Assessment
While more expensive than cheap digital speakers, these units frequently last 10-20 years, offering the lowest cost-per-night in the category.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most competitors use digital recordings which have 'loop points' that the brain can subconsciously detect, causing micro-arousals; the Dohm uses a physical fan, eliminating this issue entirely.
