What does the white noise setting(s) sound like?

If you have hiked in the mountains, it sounds like a waterfall does a long ways off, when the sound is not distinct but is a low, steady roar. Another comparison might be if you have a newer car with a smoothly operating heater. When you turn the fan up on the heater it makes an increasingly louder, steady noise, but no rattles or anything like that. I hope this helps.

There are 6 white noise settings and 6 fan settings. For each, it's just a variation of pitch from low to high. The white noise is very constant static. The fan setting is more of a hum with just the slightest sound of oscillation. I find the fam setting more appealing- The lower pitch is sort of like sleeping on an airplane

We actually use the fan setting predominately. However, I was surprised that both settings allow tone adjustment up and down to find the tone that fits you best. It doesn't sound tinny like some do.

White noise. There are about 12 different fan noises but the white noise is just that.

There are many white noise settings. Each one is a steady roar at a different pitch. I find the lower pitches comforting but the higher pitches are irritating. I guess it is a matter o personal preference. We use the fan sounds mostly because they sound natural.

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

There is a white noise - depends on what level you put it on. The higher level the noisier it gets. Compared to others I've had in the past, it's pretty quiet.

Never used white noise. I am not home now so can not look at it but don't think there is a white noise. The sea surf sound is fantastic and the only one we use. We love it.

White noise is one of several choices for sound. It turns on with a simple combination on/off and volume knob. It stays on until turned off.

I see it as 'white noise'...I can't hear it over the tv in my bedroom and I have 'extra fine hearing', so I don't like anything that's too loud or noisy. This seems to be just right for me. Hope this helps you make your choice.

There is a slight white noise, but unless you're trying to focus on it, it really is quiet. That's one thing I NEEDED in a humidifier, the quiet. Too many I've had are loud and obnoxious. This one isn't.

it sounds like a coffee maker when running, after a while it became white noise to me. but my co-workers notice it and always ask "what is that?"

I know exactly what you mean. Yes, I think it would be the white noise you are looking for. It's not loud, but makes some noise.

It is very quiet! You can hear it but a white noise, not problematic at all.

I like in a VERY small 1 Bdrm Apt, 400 square feet in total, yes it does make "white" noise. I sometimes use my elec blanket, BUT on cold mornings I love the power if turning it in. Some don't like it beeps whenever they push a button, but I like the beep because it reconfirmed that I've pushed something, like occasionally I engage the oscillation.

The dialog is clear enough for me. I can hear things I couldn't before. But I doubt it does magic trick to equalize BG noise automatically. You may need some plugin (for PC in my case) to do the trick for you.

I don't notice any noise. I have had mine for about a month and I'm very satisfied.

It does make white noise but it is not obnoxious. It works really well if i leave it off overnight i can tell in the morning.

During the day It's fine, not too loud. Sometimes I turn it off at night to sleep, but I don't need to have it on 24 hours. This is a hard question to answer because some might like the white noise, but I'm very sensitive to noise. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

It does not sound like a regular fan. You can turn it low to high. To me, it's white noise, blocking out other sounds, but not annoying like a regular fan. It's pleasant :)
