Our best-selling white noise machine now comes as a portable sound machine!
The Hushh is from Marpac, makers of the beloved Dohm-DS All-Natural White Noise Sound Machine. Hushh is a portable electronic sound machine designed to help baby fall asleep and stay asleep anywhere. The Hushh cradles your baby in soothing sound to create a comforting, consistent sound environment for sleep.
This compact portable unit comes with 3 sound options: choose from bright white noise, deep white noise, or gentle surf and a wide volume range. Hushh is powered by a lithium ion battery and recharges from a micro-usb cord (included). Throughout night time or naptime, it masks disruptive noises to promote longer, more restful sleep cycles. It runs continuously without a timer, and has an on/off button.
We've tested The Hushh to run for approx 12 hours continuously on battery power, when played on medium volume and without the nightlight. For more info, see battery info below. Hushh never needs batteries, so there is none of the on-going cost you get with all other portable white noise machines, shushers or other sound boxes.
And the continuous play means you can turn Hushh on at bedtime, and it will help calm and resettle your baby or child all through the night. No timers or need to reset, just lovely calming white noise all night.
If you are using this at home, we recommend choosing a plug-in model such as the Dohm or Whish. This model is not designed to be used continuously plugged in as that will in time damage the rechargeable battery.
Please note: if you have previously owned a Hushh, this newer version is quieter than previous models.
How does the Rohm compare to the Hushh?
-
Hushh has a tiny amber light on the side, which the Rohm does not have
-
Hushh has a plastic loop which you can attach to the buggy or side of the cot, whereas the Rohm has a little tie instead
-
All other features and functions are the same
Volume info
The Hushh has a wide volume range, giving you a lot of flexibility in terms of how loud you play it and where you use it. Most customers find low to medium volume quite sufficient and this will also mean that the charge lasts for longer as the higher the volume, the shorter the battery time.
We do not recommend having the Hushh close to your baby on maximum volume as it is very loud. It is different to the Baby Shusher for example, which is designed for use close to baby and operates for a limited time rather than continuously. The maximum volume would be suitable if you are using the Hushh plugged in across the room from your baby and only for short periods. If you're comparing the latest version of the Hushh to a previously purchased one you may notice that the 2019 Marpac Hushh has a lower maximum volume setting compared with older versions, however this is still quite loud and our recommendation is the same.
Battery power information:
The Hushh has an internal rechargeable battery which means you never need to replace batteries or worry about your child opening the machine and playing with batteries. The battery is charged using the USB cable supplied with your unit.
The battery can last all night, depending on a number of factors:
You will get the best battery life from your Hushh when it is used on medium volume without the nightlight and is expected to last 12 hours of continuous noise.
Basically the lower the volume played at, the longer your Hushh battery will last (and considerably longer when the light is not used).
The 'Bright White' (middlesound) has been shown to have the best battery time.
We recommend charging with a good quality charger, such as the good quality chargers supplied with a phone or a Balkin brand charger. Cheap phone chargers take much longer to charge and may not fully charge your Hushh.
The nightlight function and battery life
-
Hushh has a very small amber nightlight. If you are using battery power, use of the nightlight, particularly if also using at high volume, will cut the battery life down significantly.
-
Used with maximum volume and the nightlight, the Hushh battery will last less than 5 hours
-
When used on maximum volume without the light, you can expect around 10 hours
-
Volume also has a significant impact on battery life.

Some Marpac Reviews:
(10.26.12 walmart.com review)
Best item ever for a new baby — at least for the parents. This will put a baby to sleep in short order. This is our second Sound Conditioner in two months because the first one did such a fantastic job. The hospital should offer these with every delivery — gets the baby to sleep & lets Mom & Dad get some much needed sleep. Wish we would have had them when our kids were little — kids that are now receiving these as gifts. Love it!

This sound machine is exactly what I was hoping for. No lullabies, no forest sounds, no 10 minute shut off — just plain old, consistent background noise. I actually bought it for my baby.
I have a new baby as well as a 2 1/2 year old and it was getting really annoying trying to shush my toddler and anyone else in the house when the baby was napping or sleeping. Baby was a light sleeper and would wake easily when my toddler was running around, playing or laughing and such. This sound machine totally blocks out the house noises so my baby can sleep comfortably and everyone else in the house can talk, play, make noise without worry.

I love love love it! My baby sleeps through the night now ever since I put it in her room the first night! It is a life saver! I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a baby that is having problems sleeping through the night!!

I have a two-year-old and a six-month old. Each one has this product in their room. It’s amazing because it blocks out all other noise, including middle of the night crying sessions! I will even take this with me on vacation. A must buy for all moms!!!

Anyway, a friend recommended the Dohm/Marpac Sound Conditioner. I was skeptical.
Let me tell you, I have had it for one week now, and have been getting the best sleep of my life. It provides the perfect type of white noise to cover up any annoying noises that may have kept you from enjoying a full night's rest.

I was a bit skeptical about this device at first but after using it for a year or so, I have become a believer. The noise is neutral and constant. The only part I dont like is turning it off in the morning... it sounds so... quiet! So, if you are looking for a no frills noise making machine, this is a solid and functional option.

We were a little skeptical since our environment was more noise polluted than theirs, but I cant even explain how much this little machine improved our quality of life. We ended up staying in our lovely apartment and becoming good friends with the owners of the bar. ALL THANKS to this machine. If this little thing can block out the loud noises of New York city, Im completely confident to say it can work anywhere. Get one!

I bought this for travel and was initially skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product. It works very well, better than any other noise machine I've had. I like the ability to change the sound and I like the compactness for travel - it's my new and permanent companion. I highly recommend.

I'm one of those people who needs a fan/white noise to go to sleep, and I was a little skeptical about this machine. What could it do that my current fan or a white noise app couldn't? Well, I'm not sure why, maybe it's psychological, but this thing lulls me to sleep much faster and keeps me knocked out all night.

...Love the sound - doesn't sound like a radio station off the air like the one I used before.

...I would have died from sleep deprivation if it were not for my sound machines; I sleep between two sound machines.
Fantastic
