what does a shusher sound like ?any way to hear it we have been using a hair dryer

It sounds like someone going "shhhhhhhhhh" in a long, drawn out way. There is a momentary pause between each "shush" so it is not a continuous sound like the hair dryer. When my baby is really upset, nothing is as effective as the hair dryer. Period. But the shusher is obviously more convenient--no cord, no blowing air, etc. I like the shusher but at this point, I use the HoMedics Sound Spa on the Go even more--the white noise function can be turned up loud and it's small enough to go with us anywhere. Plus, unlike the shusher, I can attach it to her car seat. And it's 1/3 the price. Just my two cents...

Yes. You can increase and decrease the volume. It sounds like shhhh shhhh shhh. It's effective.

It sounds like somebody is saying "shhhh". I like that it is portable and we can take it with us.

It's sounds exactly like someone Shushing your baby, a long shhhhhhhhh sound over and over.

I do NOT recall any such sounds. I use the unit only occasionally, last a few weeks ago.

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

I just received this hair dryer and can't seem to find a diffuser that works. If anyone can answer this question, I'd be grateful, otherwise I'll have to return the dryer.

Actually it is not that loud. The best description is a little louder than a blow dryer and not as loud as a leaf blower. I use it in my house. Hope this helps

No. I've had mine over 2 years and I've never heard anything like that. I only hear the fan and air blowing.

Compared to what? I don't know the decibels it puts out. I agree with "boots". "The hairdryer produces an average level of noise in the high position, and much less in the low position."

No, nothing like that. Just a consistent sound. Sort of like a window air conditioning unit sound, but it is constant, not like a fan where you can hear the blades vary

If anything two would be nice to have one in the car and one in the house. I think it will be hard to coordinate the "shushing" sounds in the same room...it may just sound like one constant SHUSSSSSHHHHH. Hope that makes sense. There is $5 app you can try also.

Hello Kitcat, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness! The VI-2500 does have a subtle whisping noise and sometimes you'll get what sounds like a crackling noise. Its not particularly loud but is some what noticeable. Most ionizers have the same type of sound. If its loud you may have a defective unit. Let us know if we can help. Thank you!

traditional dryers can easily get rattling noise if something small gets sucked into the filtering process... but This one I doubt that is much of an issue, I've had mine about that long, and I don't have a rattling noise. Try slowly rotating the inner drum, and see if something 'moves' inside (aka... drops b/c it was ontop of the drum or something else, or something inside the inner 'bumps' that push the cloths)

It's evidently not a sound audible to most humans. I can hear it. There's a very slight dry-rubbing sound caused by friction when it moves against different surfaces. I must have really good ears :P

I would not say this one is a quiet hair dryer. It is not horribly loud but just not quiet. If you find that special "quiet" hair dryer, please update me. LOL

It's about average it's not real quiet but I have had dryers that were much louder. I don't believe there really is a quiet hair dryer out there no matter what the cost is. I don't think there is any hair dryer out there that can really be quiet, there has to be a motor and fan.

What has Watts got to do with this? I was seeking "quiet". I had a dryer that was labeled and was quiet. When I wanted to get a new dryer, I sought the quietest dryer I could find and one that was endorsed by those who had purchased the same dryer. I did buy it and it was the quietest dryer. Both dryers, regardless of wattage, dry hair the same and there is no noticeable difference, and they are both quiet, the newest one the more quiet than the older one. And that's why I bought "this one".

No sound. It is soft to lay on and it comes out of the washer and dryer without any issues. I was on cold with bleach and regular (medium heat) dryer.
