One of our children is a very light sleeper and in a poorly insulated old house you can hear everything. Any small sound, such as a door opening or closing (quietly), a cough or a low-toned conversation would wake her up. And no matter how hard I used to believe that all kids just get used to noises and learn to sleep through them, it just wasn't happening with our daughter.
On a particularly hot day well into the first year of our little lady's life I bought a heavy-duty fan to cool down our bedroom. It was quite loud and efficient and I realized that our daughter slept like a baby that night.
So I set out to search for a device which was essentially as loud as our fan but without the fanning effect. Quite a few mothers recommended the Marsona and said that it had made their babies sleep through the night without fail. In fact, one nice mother in our community gave me hers and wished me many sleepy nights moving forward. This is exactly what we got from then on.

I know that there is all sorts of research for and against using sound machines, but in our case we'll have to cross that bridge when we get there. We try to not always use it. But the main thing for us is that it drowns out all the other noise in the house and our little lady sleeps better, and so do we.
I'm endlessly grateful to our Marsona and the mom who gave us hers. In fact, we like this machine so much that we ended up getting the Marsona travel version (Marsona TSCi 330) as well. I also got it for a friend of mine who suffers from tinnitus, and she also sleeps like a baby now...
So, in my humble opinion...
Pros:
- This electro-mechanical sound machine actually creates the white noise (just like a fan). It's not a recording of white noise.
- For a fairly small device it is very powerful.
- The 980A has two settings and you can adjust the "tone" of the white noise from high to low.
- Will absolutely drown out noise and make a light sleeper (or just a poor sleeper) sleep better.
- Fairly low cost for such an effective device (around $65)
- Seems to last for a long time (we got ours used and it still works just like new).
Cons:
- I'm trying to come up with something here but I have no complaints about this one.
