Aussies: Can any of you recommend a white noise machine? It’s odd; despite our bedroom being farther from the street in the new house, I get woken up by noise a LOT more than I used to. (I think it’s because we have a window now, and the sound bounces off the outside wall of the old place.) During the summer it wasn’t so bad because we kept a fan running, but I’d prefer not to do that in winter. Any suggestions?
Also, nothing makes you feel older than bitching and griping about the sound of the neighbours’ party — and then realising it’s only 9:30pm. On a Saturday night. Which is a perfectly reasonable time to be having a party. A party that sounds pretty fun, actually. Grumble, grumble, grumble…

Believe it or not, the best range of white noise machines will be at a baby store, like Babies Galore or the such… 😀

I was kinda guessing that. I remember my sister had one for Penn last year…

Yeah the worst thing about parties like that is that you don’t get invited!
As for the noise, i use ear plugs.

He still uses it! Funny, we’re planning a trip to Target this afternoon to pick one up for Indie. Sometimes you can find a good alarm clock with nature sounds that will have a water/white noise-ish track. We picked one up this week though and all the nature tracks had freakin’ birds and stuff periodically bursting in on the peaceful sounds. So you gotta watch out for that!
