Do you need the air flow? If not, you should get a white noise generator.

I grew up next to the railroad tracks. I can't sleep in total silence. I need a good solid drone and used to use fans.

I do need airflow since I live in Phoenix. It helps direct air towards our up-duct and helps cool our room better at night.

We also have a sound machine going but it's pretty quiet and not enough on it's own.

Move as close as you can to Sky Harbor airport. One of the most friendly airports in the USA!

The fan on my old ass ps4 is really loud. Just fire up Resident Evil 2 and it sounds like a harrier jet raping a tugboat

It says "Whisper quiet," but that's a ****ing lie.

Home Depot or Lowes. Big ass air mover. Loud as **** because it is made to move air, not be quiet. This isn't complicated. Not going to look pretty, but who cares.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7dcd5b9f25.jpg

You will notice the holes in the base. It's expected that you will secure that monster to the floor. Throw your sandbag on it.

Lol I just hosted a thread about sleeping and I too must have a fan for noise and air movement. The cheaper the fan the longer it lasts and the shorter it lives. ��
PS I now have a vornado. Small but moves air and makes sound and I can pack it when on the road.

Fits on a nightstand and has (3) speeds. You and your wife can each have one on the nightstand next to you for $30 total. I have had my for 3 years and I wash it in the sink when it gets dusty!

I have one on my office desk and at top speed it's a little beast

Most people usually just ask.

To answer your question, it cancels out the voices in your head that can sometimes join you in bed. Yea, that ****ing rhymes.

I'm a light sleeper, so little noises wake me up. The fan noise also calms me and helps me fall asleep quicker. I still wake up quite a bit but falling back to sleep is pretty easy.

The louder the better for me. I want it to drown out all noise. Moving more air is also a plus with our central AC.

KCTitus 10-07-2020 09:06 PM

I empathize with you...once I experienced a fan to sleep, I never looked back. I have a box fan purchased from Kmart in 1975 or 1976...It has a distinctive hum from the engine that is unmistakable and creates the white noise I desire.

I can appreciate the desire for this white noise and the older electronic engines have a distinct hum...

good luck...

Shiver Me Timbers 10-07-2020 09:09 PM

I use the radio with one of those speakers that goes in under the pillow. I listen to coast to coast. really some weird stuff discussed on that show.
have learned a lot about big foot.

Yeah I've used a fan all my life. I literally cannot sleep unless there is white noise. If we travel and we have a white noise machine, it's passable, but I always sleep worse than an actual fan going.

If we're driving to travel, you'll find a fan packed in the car.

Hmmm. Probably where it started with me. As a young child, I really couldn't go to sleep with my little Radio Shack transister radio under my pillow. Which my mom always heard, even when too low for me. Mom's, man.

Im starting to get so strung out, I need a fan running at all times...I might have an addiction.

For me, I'm so used to having noise when I sleep, total silence is actually LOUD.

It's not quiet for me until I have droning white noise in the background.

Have you been checked for tinnitus? Some have it and don't realize it.

No, I don't have tinnitus. I am hard of hearing in both ears due to recurring ear infections as a kid and had tubes put in about 15 years ago. I've had my ears tested dozens of times.

We lived on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in the heart of Hollywood for four years. There was constant noise 24/7 from traffic, police cars and helicopters, tourists, locals and partiers. The energy level was extremely high and never dipped. It was freakin’ awesome.

4 years later, we bought our house in the hills. It was so dead quiet that it took me more than 4 months before I was able to sleep through the night.

Buehler445 10-07-2020 09:53 PM

I’m with you. I hate being hot. ****ing cannot stand it. Currently my bedroom is 66 and that’s about right. I’d like another degree but my wife will dig a trench and declare war for that degree.

Anyway, as a kid my parents kept the house in the 75 range. So I dug around and got a fan and rigged up to be like 6” from my face so I could sleep. And it was an old 80s fan so you know that damn thing was loud. Went to college and gained control over the thermostat and made that thing the refrigerator it needs to be and slept better. Still had the fan for the noise. Got shacked up with the now wife and she caught me on the fan so it went away because the cold isn’t going anywhere. I got used to no noise still can’t sleep in the hot.

My position is that you need to lower the thermostat and not have. Fan. Temperature matters far more than noise IMO. Even my wife who hates the cold has come around and can’t sleep if it’s hot.

I know it’s Arizona but suck it up. You chose to live there. Crank that shit down and sleep like humans were intended.

DaneMcCloud 10-07-2020 09:53 PM

Lew, why not install a nice ceiling fan and get a loaded white noise machine?

When my ears give me shit, we probably have similar problems, I get tinnitus. If there is fluid behind the drum I get white noise then tinnitus.

I got evaluated for some. Haven’t gotten them yet. In 2014 I broke an ear drum 3 times in 2 weeks and decided to make an appointment. Actually got a good rec from this place.

Sounds like you need a shop fan.

Oh we have ceiling fans in every room and our bedroom one is on every single night, even in winter. Just not the same sound as a fan and doesn’t help move as much air in summer out of our southwest facing bedroom.

I have a ceiling fan and an old Alexa that I use for white noise. Works great. Can choose your sound of choice and have it play until you tell it to quit.
