There are those of us who have a multitude of issues getting to sleep when it’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Sometimes, it’s just easier to snooze when you’ve got something making a modicum of noise in the background.

That’s where this selection of white noise makers come in. When you don’t have the space (or desire) to leave a fan running all night, they’re lifesavers. Offering a wide variety of different noises and levels of space-filling ambience, these five white noise machines have everything you’re looking for in one of these bad boys and more.

If you’re looking for something to help you make your space even more chill than usual, or just a simple way to get more shut-eye, these are some of the best options out there.

It’s great for traveling, and even comes with a special companion app for your phone or tablet. The app provides a remote control, lets you program the device for automatic on/off scheduling, a night light, and even nursery calibration to help ensure your baby’s ears are nice and protected as they fall into a deep slumber thanks to the machine’s masking of sound.
