help Marpac White Noise Machine FAQ
Does a Marpac white noise machine play a digital recording?
Classic Marpac machines such as the Dohm create sound mechanically with a small internal fan rather than looping a recorded audio track. Rotating the outer housing changes the tone and airflow openings.
What is the difference between the Marpac Dohm and LectroFan?
The Dohm produces fan-based mechanical noise, while Adaptive Sound Technologies' LectroFan generates multiple electronic fan and noise profiles. The Dohm offers a simpler, more organic sound, but the LectroFan provides more selectable variations.
Can a Marpac machine mask voices from another room?
Its steady broadband sound can make intermittent speech less noticeable, especially when placed between the sleeper and the noise source. It does not soundproof a room or completely block loud conversations.
Where should a Marpac white noise machine be placed?
Place it near the path of the unwanted sound, such as beside a bedroom door or window, rather than directly beside the listener's head. Use the lowest volume that masks the disturbance, particularly in a child's room.
