What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, this 30-sound brown-noise machine with a 12-color night light is the unit r/NewParents commenters specifically name when asked for an affordable Hatch alternative. One thread features a parent who bought it for ~$17 and describes it as doing 'the job just fine' with soft, non-fuzzy white noise; another commenter in the 'Hatch and why I should have listened to Reddit' thread effectively recommends a unit like this one over the smart competitor. With 11,600+ Amazon reviews at 4.6 stars and refinery29 coverage describing the 30 sounds, 36 volume levels, and 12-color nightlight feature set in detail, the signal is consistent: this is a feature-loaded device at a price where expectations should be modest.
What reviewers liked
- 11,600+ Amazon reviews at 4.6 stars — strong verified-purchase signal at the price
- r/NewParents commenters specifically name this as their budget Hatch alternative
- Night light + 30 sounds + 36 volume levels is unusually deep for ~$20
- Refinery29 coverage corroborates the feature set
Where it falls short
- Reddit owners of similar cheap digital machines flag audible looping on the white-noise tracks specifically
- r/BuyItForLife threads on budget sound machines generally report rattling or failure after a couple of years
- No battery — needs to stay plugged in
- No high-trust independent lab measurement in the signals to verify loudness or sound quality claims
Across the reviewers we read, this 30-sound brown-noise machine with a 12-color night light is the unit r/NewParents commenters specifically name when asked for an affordable Hatch alternative.

With 11,600+ Amazon reviews at 4.6 stars and refinery29 coverage describing the 30 sounds, 36 volume levels, and 12-color nightlight feature set in detail, the signal is consistent: this is a feature-loaded device at a price where expectations should be modest. The night light and sound combo is the headline value — most competitors at this price skip one or the other.
The honest caveats: in a separate r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu thread, an owner of a similar Australian unit complains about audible loops in the white noise specifically (other sounds were fine), and r/BuyItForLife threads on cheap sound machines in general flag rattling failures after a couple of years. As a sub-$20 night-light-plus-sound combo, though, the trust-weighted consensus is positive.

Plays brown noise and shushing (either combined or separately) and also has a huge battery so doesn't need to stay plugged in and can travel ...
The white noise on the main machine is awful - I can also hear the loop and it drives me up the wall. The other sounds don't have obvious loops ...
