White noise does not send a baby to sleep — it masks the sudden sounds that wake them. Tymi generates sound on the device itself, in white, pink and brown, and lets it drift through the night instead of looping one file. Nothing to download, nothing to stream, and it keeps playing with the screen off.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between white, pink and brown noise?
White noise spreads energy evenly across all frequencies, so it hisses. Pink noise softens the highs and sounds like rain or wind. Brown noise pushes further into the low end and resembles a distant waterfall. Many parents find pink and brown gentler at night.
Does white noise help babies sleep?
A steady sound can cover household noise and act as a bedtime cue. It replaces neither tiredness nor a consistent routine. Standard pediatric guidance points to moderate volume, the device well away from the cot, and use limited to settling.
How loud, and for how long?
Stay below the level of a quiet conversation, and keep the phone away from the cot — never inside it or attached to it. A timer avoids leaving sound running all night; Tymi includes one and keeps playing with the screen off to save battery.
