Would this fan work well for white noise for a baby?

I suppose so, but it's able to move air in a rather lg. room- what about the breeze? they make white noise machines- ocean, etc. try those.

I have a heater and a humidifier in the room, low white noise and that doesn't bother me at all. I keep the volume at 1 or 2 bars and can still hear the babies just fine without much background noise. If it is a very loud white noise, I would recommend putting a white noise machine with the same volume in the 2nd room as well. Because you will hear the difference on scan (unless you keep it at the lowest volume level). There is also a quiet noise made when it scans from room to room which bothered me at first, but I have adjusted just fine.

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

If you use it for white noise it would be pretty good. If you need it quiet to sleep and just want the air, this might not be for you. It's not crazy loud, but it does make a little noise.

I think this would be perfect in a baby's room- you can adjust the level of volume. This has by far been the best sound machine I have used- it takes up little space but sounds like a much larger fan (without the breeze!).

No, it just makes white noise or various soothing sounds. That would help you ignore the noise from your neighbors!

if it's on LOW , yes....with MED and HIGH it makes more noise, but it's no louder than a small fan. You'll be ok.

The noise it makes is not very bothersome. It's like a fan.....white noise.

I wouldn't suggest this for a baby's room. Mine was filled with mold every other day and it's hard to clean. The DexBaby brand sound machine I have for our son is great! It's loud and works great! We've had it for over a year.

You can't completely filter out noise if you're going to move air. I sprang $300 on an Oransi, and it's only marginally quieter, but it is. This one seems to produce a lower white noise, i suspect from the fan/motor. We (9-year-old ears) can't detect any stand-out pitches.

Even though this is a 5 star fan I would not recommend it if you need to hear a baby if in a different room. I have to listen for my 93 year old mother in law and sometimes I don't hear her. She is just across the hall. Your age plays a factor also as you age you do lose some hearing and where you place the fan is another factor. If you place it somewhere in front of you it will cause some hearing interference. Otherwise i would not buy any other fan.

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.

Definitely not a quiet fan, so if you are looking for noise this should work. We take it on trips for the same reason.

One of the " white noise" settings does sound like a heart beat, similar to what you hear on an ultrasound and what the baby hears in the womb. We have had this machine for several months and love it.

I think noise levels vary depending on the individual's perception. I found the fan to be reasonably quiet and enjoy the "white noise" effect. Wouldn't it be nice if they gave us a decibel level in the description. Overall I am very pleased with this fan.

On the low setting it will be pretty quiet. On high there will be a noticeable sound. I like it on my desk because it muffles out other conversations sort of like a white noise. I like this fan a lot.

The fan has a notable and steady sound as you would expect from a high velocity metal fan. It is a white noise however and can easily be ignored. It is not as quiet as a slow speed plastic fan, but is not so loud as to drown out normal conversation in a living-room.
