White Noise Night Lights

A white noise night light plays a steady sound, such as rain, waves, a fan or a heartbeat, that masks the noises of the house and helps with settling to sleep. Ours add a soft light, and most have a timer that switches the sound off once your child is asleep.

White noise night lights compared by use

The table lists the features given on the product page of each white noise night light in the collection, sorted by use. Prices checked on 3 November 2026: if there is any difference, the product page prevails.

Which white noise night light to choose for each use?

The right model mostly depends on where the night light will be used: the nursery, the changing bag, the bedroom ceiling, the morning wake-up or an adult's bedside table.

For the nursery

For a night light that stays in the bedroom, look at the choice of sounds and the timer. The White Noise Machine & Night Light and the White Noise Night Light with 34 Sounds switch off by themselves after 30, 60 or 90 minutes; the Rechargeable 7 Colours model combines white noise and lullabies. The Jellyfish and the Campfire, made of silicone, focus on shape and light, with fewer sounds.

For the pushchair, the changing bag and holidays

Our portable white noise night lights recharge via USB. The Portable White Noise Night Light, as flat as a pebble, slips into a pocket; the White Noise Night Light with 20 Sounds has a strap to hang it out of reach, 23 hours of battery life according to its product page, and a mode that starts a sound when it detects crying.

For projecting onto the ceiling

The astronaut on its rocket projects nebulae over 30 m² and is controlled from your smartphone with a Bluetooth app; the musical projector displays 16 effects that rotate 360° and plays music over Bluetooth. For a starry sky without white noise, see our projector night lights.

For learning when it is time to get up

The bear and dog alarm clocks show a moon for the night and a sun for the morning, a cue that children understand before they can tell the time. They add white noise for bedtime and a dual alarm. More models of this kind are in our alarm clock night lights collection.

For adults

The Adult White Noise Night Light offers 32 volume levels and the Adult White Noise Alarm Clock Night Light simulates sunset and sunrise. Their product pages state adult use, to be placed out of children's reach. More models for grown-ups are in our adult night lights collection.

What to check on the product page

• Sounds: from 5 to 34 sounds depending on the model. Some only have white noise, others add lullabies or nature sounds.
• Timer: it switches the night light off by itself, so you don't have to get up. Check that it is listed on the product page.
• Volume: fine adjustment helps you find the lowest level that still masks the noises of the house.
• Power: most recharge via USB; the musical projector plugs in via USB, and the astronaut also takes AAA batteries.
• Age: every children's product page states "from birth in the bedroom", then the age from which the child can handle it: 3 years in most cases, 18 months for the Campfire.
• Certification: the CE and RoHS marking appears on the product pages of our white noise night lights.

White noise night light or musical night light?

A white noise night light plays a steady sound that masks the noises around your child; a musical night light plays melodies that mark the bedtime routine. Several of our models do both: the Jellyfish, the Rechargeable 7 Colours and the astronaut offer lullabies as well as white noise.

If your child mostly falls asleep to a song, a musical baby night light will suit them better. For older children, the other models are in our kids' night lights collection.

Frequently asked questions about white noise night lights

What volume should a white noise night light be for a baby?

Set the white noise night light to the lowest volume that still masks the noises of the house, never to maximum. Several models allow fine adjustment, such as the White Noise Night Light for Babies with its 15 volume levels. If you have any doubts about your child's hearing, ask your doctor for advice.

White noise or pink noise: what is the difference?

White noise spreads its energy evenly across all frequencies, whereas the energy of pink noise decreases towards the high frequencies, so it has less treble. Our product pages do not mention pink noise; they offer white noise and similar sounds such as rain, waves, a fan or a heartbeat.

How long should a white noise night light stay on?

The simplest way is to start the white noise night light at bedtime and let the timer switch it off once your child is asleep. According to the product pages, the timer ranges from 10 minutes on the adult alarm clock to 4 hours on the projectors, with settings from 30 minutes to 3 hours on the White Noise Night Light for Babies.

How far from the bed should a white noise night light be?

Place the white noise night light on a chest of drawers or a shelf, away from the bed and out of baby's reach, never in the cot or against their head: the further away it is, the quieter the sound that reaches their ears. Our children's product pages state use from birth in the bedroom.

Is a white noise night light suitable for adults?

Yes, a white noise night light also works for adults who want to mask noise from the street or a neighbour. The Adult White Noise Night Light offers 34 sounds, 32 volume levels and a timer from 30 to 90 minutes; the Adult White Noise Alarm Clock Night Light adds a simulated sunset and sunrise.
