Why it works: the womb was loud - a constant, rushing hush. Steady white noise recreates that familiar sound, which is why a vacuum or hairdryer can settle a crying baby almost instantly.
Why white noise soothes babies
Newborns aren't used to silence, so a quiet nursery can leave them unsettled. A steady white-noise hush resembles the womb and masks the household sounds - doorbells, siblings, TV - that cut naps short.
How to use it safely
Not louder than needed. A common guideline is to keep it around the level of a soft shower.
Across the room, not right next to the crib.
Comfort, not volume, is the goal - and check with your pediatrician if unsure.
Timing and timers
Many parents use it for naps and night sleep. Noizim's fade-out timer lets you set a duration that suits your routine, or leave it low through the night at a safe distance.
