Many parents-to-be are skeptical when they do a search for baby sleep sounds and they find vacuum cleaner and hair dryer sounds online. Heaven knows how much a vacuum cleaner or hair dryer hurts adult ears, so how does it help a baby?
These seemingly loud sounds are actually quite comforting to a baby: for nine months, “home” was the very noisy womb. Every minute of every day, the womb was surrounded by a symphony of internal sounds (mother’s heartbeat, blood flow, gurgles, burps, etc.) as well as the external sounds of mom’s everyday living, including conversations, household noises, traffic, etc. So you can just imagine how it is for baby to come from a noisy womb into a very quiet world!
That’s why these household appliance white noise sounds are particularly relaxing and calming to baby. It brings them a sense of comfort and security that’s probably hard for us adults to comprehend.
However, it’s not enough to run a vacuum cleaner or a hair dryer, since baby’s hearing is very sensitive. You can’t control the volume or harsh sounds that these machines make. That’s why if you find a baby vacuum cleaner or baby hair dryer sound online, make sure it’s been refined so that the sounds benefit baby without hurting their ears.
