Thanks for watching so many of my videos! It's good to know my voice can be tolerated for so long:-) Those are both good white noise machines, so I hope you like them and that they last the test of time. Let me know how they work out for you - if you have a minute once you've experimented with them.

Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing!

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the reviews, and I really appreciate your kind feedback. It always helps motivate me to keep making these videos! Those three white noise machines are all good options. As for blocking the sound of your neighbors, it depends on the kind of noise they are making as to how effective they will be though. If you're looking for a specific purpose like that, I'd make sure you can get a refund before buying any of them in case they don't do the trick.

You're welcome. I hope you like it!

Hi, you're welcome - I'm glad it was helpful. I hope you like it and I'd love to hear your thoughts (as would other viewers I imagine) once you've had a chance to use it, both positive and negative.

@@nosleeplessnights1 After having it for a week I really like it. Its easy to operate and it sounds really good. Nothing negative to say about it.

You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful, and hope you like the Classic. Let me know once you've used it for a bit!

That's quite the compliment - thank you Ajay! Let me know which one you get, and if you like it once you've had a chance to use it.

You're welcome Daisy! I know some people prefer the sound quality of the classic. Personally I like both, but there is a case for the classic having a slightly better speaker perhaps. And thanks for the compliment by the way!

You're welcome - I'm happy to hear you liked it:-)

You're welcome, and thank you too for the kind words:-)

You're welcome! I've definitely heard that on several machines. I don't usually detect it with white/brown noise, but often when there is a nature sound like birdsong or gentle brook, I hear a sort of white noise sound that probably shouldn't be there. I don't think it happens with the lectrofan classic or evo.

Most fan sounds of lectrofan have an annoying (once you notice) underlying humming sound that "shouldn't be there". My guess is, that it is supposed to imitate a more organic (electrical) sound. But there are still 2 good ones. I am using only 1 fan sound that does not have that humming sound. I am sure everybody will find their favourite sound and only use that. The white noises of the lectrofan don't have any humming sound. That is my opinion. And i have to admit that i was a bit disappointed that most fan sounds are useless for me, because my brain will try to hear the humming sound. But I'm still happy with the purchase.

You're welcome - I'm glad you liked the video:-) Yes, it will remember those settings, as long as you don't unplug it from the mains.

Is that the same with the Classic?

Yes it is.

You're welcome, glad you liked it. I think it depends on the music, the volume, direction etc. Brown noise is good for masking music with heavier bass I find. One of the reasons I like machines with lots of variety though is that you can experiment with the sounds to find one that blocks the most external noise.

Thanks!

Thanks! You can have continuous play or a timer. It's your choice.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you liked the video. How loudly do you have to play it to block the sounds of the trucks? And good job on the bargain hunting - that sounds like a good price indeed. I hope they did a good job refurbishing it.

@@nosleeplessnights1 I play mine at full volume. I don’t hear the trucks going down the highway at all. I hope that the refurbished one works out. It is being offered by a top seller on eBay. I bought my first one from Bed Bath and Beyond. I have bought refurbished items before and I have never had a problem with them. I bought this one for a backup just in case and I have a travel van and I will probably have it in there to take it on vacations. When it arrives I will run it for several nights to be sure that it is in sound condition. It has a free 30 day return.

@@nosleeplessnights1 just wondering if you have tried refurbished white noise machines? I have bought refurbished items before and never had a problem with them. But there is always a first time.

Full volume all night - I hope it's not doing any damage to your hearing, because that's some serious volume for such long time periods. The LectroFans typically hit close to 80 dBA when I measure the volume on max, even from the other side of the room, which is very loud. I haven't bought any refurbished white noise machines before, no. Because I review them, I prefer to have factory sealed ones so I can see how they are right out of the box. I have bought them on eBay before though and haven't had any problems compared to those I buy on Amazon or the manufacturer websites.

@@nosleeplessnights1. I love the high volume. I don’t sleep extremely close to it. It more or less sends sound waves through the whole room. It takes quite a bit of volume to drown out the highway noise. Plus train tracks are on the other side of the highway. The Lectrofan has been a lifesaver for me. For years I used a high velocity fan to sleep by. I am thinking that they have discontinued the Lectrofan classic. I am sure that the Evo is as good or better than the original classic. I enjoy your channel so much and I have a lot of respect for you giving such honest reviews.

Hi! I'm happy to hear it was helpful. It's hard to predict if one will be better than the other, or if either of them can completely block out the impact noise from upstairs neighbours. Comparatively, I think both of them are good choices though. They both produce more bass/lower frequency noise than most other white noise machines, so if anything can help, hopefully the Lectrofan or Sony speaker can. If they don't block it completely, headphones would be my recommendation.

@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you!!

@@user-fv6ew3yp6v hey did the lectrofan classic block out footsteps from above?

Thanks! That's correct for both machines.

That's one of the main benefits of these devices - fan sounds without the cool air. I hope you like it - let me know!

Unfortunately, stomping noise from upstairs can be very difficult to block out, especially if the sound is travelling through the physical building and furniture rather than just through the air. I normally find brown noise works best for this, along with earplugs. Maybe you could try different/better earplugs? Which ones are you using?

@@nosleeplessnights1 I am using Mack's ultra soft earplugs. I think they are working because when I turn on the brown noise on the LectroFan to 60 decibels, I can barely hear the LectroFan's noises, but the neighbor's stomps and dropping sound can be heard through my earplugs louder then the LectroFan's noises to wake me up. I thought about turning up the volume higher so I could hear the brown noise more clearly with my earplugs on, but that would mean it would go up to 70+ decibels. I think it might work than but concerned if its bad for my ears to listen to sound that loud because I did it once and my ears hurt even with my earplugs on to reduce the noise.

I understand. It's a tricky balance you need to find between blocking out the sound you don't want to hear and replacing it with sound or using something like earplugs that irritates your ears and/or brain! Unfortunately, I don't have many suggestions for you. Keep experimenting and hopefully you'll find something that works well.

That sounds like a faulty machine to me. Can you get a refund or replacement? It really shouldn't do that.

In theory, it's possible they would because both machines are very loud on maximum volume. But...it depends on how loud the drilling is, how far away, how much of the noise is vibrating through the walls etc. Another concern is how loudly you'd potentially have to play white noise to block out all of the drilling if it's extremely loud. It's usually recommend, for example, to play white noise to youngsters as quietly as possible, for as short a time as possible, and to have the white noise machine as far away from where they're sleeping as possible. So while both LectroFans do a good job of masking external noise, getting the balance right between helping with sleep and not playing the white noise too loudly is the real question.

@@nosleeplessnights1 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with your thoughts, I really appreciate it.

No problem. I hope you find a good solution!

You're welcome! The difference is subtle, but there definitely is a difference in the way they sound.

That's one of the main reasons to choose the Evo - being able to use your own headphones gives more flexibility in how you hear the white noise.

They are very similar in volume. The classic may be a little bit louder if you use a decibel meter, but there's not much noticeable difference if you play them at the maximum volume in a small room.

Can I ask why you run it 24/7? Fair enough about the look. Personally, I quite like the curves of the Evo, but I can see how the Classic would appeal too as it looks sharper.

Out of any device, I would choose 'normal' decent speakers with good bass! Out of the white noise machines, either the Lectrofans or the Dreamegg D3 Pro probably.

Personally I like the Evo, but as I said, there's not much in it and both are great.

@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you so much:)

Hi David, thanks for subscribing! They shouldn't be able to hear the white noise unless you walls are very bad in terms of sound proofing, and the volume is on maximum. But I don't think it will be a problem.

I don't think there is any noticeable difference in how well they would help with that issue, so choose whichever one you like most.

The cost of electricity has supposed to have gone down compared to 11 months ago. It doesn't feel like it though, does it?

Good to hear it's been so robust for you!

@@nosleeplessnights1 i even ordered a spare. if it breaks i wont sleep. it was difficult to decide between the 2 but i went with another classic. i can work it half asleep in the dark.i have alway wondered if it helps block my noise from my upstairs neighbors?

The classic is sick. Mine runs nonstop too.

Does it prevent footsteps noises from upstairs neighbours?

Yes, that is possible.

The more I listen to them, the more I think you may be right - but the difference isn't so much in my opinion.

@@nosleeplessnights1 do you think the lectrofan classic sounds better than dreamegg d3?

For white noise and fan sounds, yes. It lacks the nature sounds, so there's no comparison there obviously.
