sound machine

White noise generator

A sound machine is a device that produces ambient noise—white noise, nature sounds, or other soothing audio—to mask disruptive sounds and promote sleep or concentration: The baby sleeps better with a sound machine running.

Some models offer varied soundscapes: rain, ocean waves, forest sounds, or simple static hum.
