3 Steps to Make your own White Noise Maker for Free

Making your own white noise maker is easy: download a free white noise mp3 here, put it on your mp3 player or a CD, then play it for your baby.


Many (!) babies are easily soothed with a boring, constant background noise - or with a gentle nature sound. That's why white noise machines offer a good sleep aid and relief from baby colic.

If you want to avoid buying a genuine white noise machine - or test the effect on your baby first - you can easily make your own thanks to the free white noise download below.
