Portable Sound Machine - 6 Sounds

Great machine to help you sleep, 6 different sounds with battery option in case power goes out.

Since the time our twins were babies, they slept in the same room. We used a music player and bought some "white noise" music so our kids could listen to some soothing sounds to help them sleep. After our twins got their own rooms, we didn't have another music player so one of our kids didn't have any soothing sounds for a little while. A couple months ago, my son said his room was too quiet so I just happened to find this sound machine really quickly. It was a great price and it seemed to be just what we were looking for so we ordered it. This sound machine is a great option if you simply want a sound machine for someone's bedroom or you want one to use for travel. You can even use it for both options! The actual machine is small and compact so it doesn't take up a lot of space. It measures 4 3/8 inches long, 4 inches deep, and 2 1/2 inches high. It's white and the front of the machine is the speaker so it projects a good amount of sound. There are six sound settings: rain, brook, thunder, white noise (aka static), ocean, and summer night. There are also buttons for power, timers (15, 30, and 60 minutes), and volume up and down. There are two options for the power source. You can either use the included AC adaptor or three AA batteries, the latter of which are not included. This machine is made in China. My son was so excited when this arrived! We just opened the box, took it straight to his room, plugged it in, and started testing it out. He's almost five so it's really easy for him to use because he can press the buttons himself and he knows how to use the volume and power buttons. We've tried out all of the sounds and he prefers "brook" best because it's just bubbling water sounds. The thunder one can be a bit loud and he's scared of storms so we don't use that one currently. Also, when that one is turned up louder, the thunder sounds tinny coming out of the speaker. The rest of the sounds are nice, relaxing, and sound natural. The other thing I really like about it is that my son sleeps better because of it! He wakes up occasionally during the night but he doesn't wake up scared because he heard a strange sound. At first I was thinking that we had to choose how long the sounds would play but we don't! The sounds will stay on all night until you turn it off in the morning unless you choose a timer. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase and the price was just what we had hoped to pay! Our son has slept better since we got it and it's easy for him to use himself. I love that it stays on all night and the sounds are soothing for him. It's also a great size for traveling so we can just pack it up in a suitcase to take it with us. We haven't tried out other sound machines but so far, we are very happy with this one and recommend it if you want a good, yet inexpensive sound machine!

We live with two cats and a dog in the house, a dog who stays on the enclosed back porch with a pet door, and two larger dogs who go to bed in a metal building with access to an outdoor pen. All of these friendly fur people create various noises throughout the night. The constant movement of the indoor animals, the pet door flapping and the barking alerts of the outside dogs when the country rabbits, possums and raccoons go marauding about, all attribute to an often interrupted night's sleep. Oh yes, and the husband snoring doesn't help much either. Therefore, I decided to partially mask some of the sounds, not all, but some. I still want to be able to hear if someone is breaking in or an animal is in distress. In reading the reviews of the sound machines available, I decided to purchase the Big Red Rooster. Rain is my dream maker and the rain sound on this machine is wonderful. The loop of playtime is not noticeable and a thunderstorm (without actually having to worry about lightening striking the house!) is soothing. It can be set for 15, 30 or 60 minutes of playtime but can also be left on all night if no time limit is set. The volume control goes from very very soft to louder than anything I would want to go to sleep by. It comes with an AC adapter which I leave plugged in but batteries can also be used. The box is very small and unobtrusive on my bedside table. I'm quite happy with the sounds and ease of operation. Update 4/18/17: I cannot begin to say how much I've enjoyed my little sleep enhancer. I've had it for almost a year now and use it every night and daytime naps. I think my cats are becoming addicted to it, too.

I live in an area where new train service recently started, with blasting horns reverberating throughout my neighborhood night and day. There were several times I was awoken in the middle of the night by the horns. AARRGH! That's never happened before and I even have hurricane strength, sound proof windows (or so I thought)! It looked like my only options were either moving far away from train tracks or trying one of those white noise machines. I asked a question here about whether or not these things would mask train horns but no one answered so I decided to gamble $20 on the Big Red Rooster BRRC107 Sound Machine, 6 Sounds unit and I am happy to report IT WORKS! I'm using the gentle rain setting and am able to get through a whole nights sleep without train horns waking me up. Amazing! I have no idea how this works because the sound is not really that loud. I'm guessing that my brain must tune into the particular frequency and rhythms of the "rain" and somehow blocks everything else out. I wish I had one of these years ago when I had a barking dog problem. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I originally bought it for the white noise setting and I didn't like it at all. I could not get to sleep with that sound which just seemed like buzzing. Some of the other sounds didn't help either, like thunder rain and crickets chirping. Do people actually get to sleep with those? But gentle rain did it for me and now I'm hooked. I plan on taking this unit with me on vacations to drown out hotel room noisy neighbors and hallway sounds. If you buy this I hope it works for you and my experience is not unique.

gets very loud, speaker is what you would expect for a $10 machine, it makes noise to sleep to does not need to be p-perfect quality in my opinion (your asleep).

Suena bien, cumple.muy bien su misión

6 easily selected clear sounds. 3 Sleep Timer selections, 15m, 30m, 60m. AA Battery powered with mains options. Included are 2 plug adaptors. 1 UK and 1 EU. 1 USB lead. Looks good and is compact. All in all good value for the price.

I was skeptical at first. Buying a Big Red Rooster White Noise Machine felt like a bit of a gamble. I was not sure if I was getting a peaceful night of sleep or something that just sounded like a broken fan from 1985. But this little powerhouse is so effective that I would not even think about leaving home without it. It is the perfect size for travel. It is not so big that it takes up half my suitcase, but it is not so quiet that I am still hearing the person in the next room who thinks midnight is the perfect time to rearrange their furniture. Why I am Obsessed: The Sound Options: It has six different sounds, and they are actually realistic. It is smoother than my attempts to explain why I need a specific coffee grind for my morning brew. The Sleep Quality: This thing masks everything. It is so good that I have slept through thunderstorms, loud neighbors, and probably a few alarms I should have listened to. The Portability: It is lightweight and fits right in my carry-on. It is a lifesaver for hotel stays where the walls feel like they are made of paper. The Design: It is simple to use. No more squinting at a tiny screen like I am trying to read a receipt. You just plug it in and actually relax. The Verdict: I am currently using it for every trip, and it has officially become a travel essential. It handles the noise of a busy hotel without making me feel like I am sleeping in a wind tunnel. If you are on the fence about getting a portable sound machine, just do it. Your sanity will thank you, and you will feel like a travel genius who finally figured out how to get a decent night of sleep on the road.
