Our Methodology

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between white, pink, and brown noise?
White noise has equal energy across frequencies—hissy, like static. Pink noise emphasizes lower frequencies—warmer, like rain. Brown noise is lower still—deeper, like a waterfall. All mask noise; preference is personal. LectroFan offers all three; try different types to find what you prefer.
Do I need a timer?
Most people run white noise all night—no timer needed. Timers (1, 2, 4, 8 hours) are useful if you want to fall asleep to the sound but have it off by morning, or for naps. LectroFan EVO has a timer; LectroFan Classic does not. If you're unsure, a timer is nice to have.
Can white noise damage hearing?
At safe volumes (under 70 dB), no. Most white noise machines don't get that loud. Avoid placing them right next to your ear at max volume. 50-65 dB at the bed is safe and effective. If you have concerns, use a decibel app to check levels.
