White noise sleep

My 7 year old strongly prefers to sleep with white noise playing. She’s got a little machine that does it on a timer. Whenever she sleeps somewhere else, if she can’t bring the machine, it’s best to have another solution. YouTube has those 10 hour long videos that do it which I can just play on my plugged-in phone. I’ve run across a little website with just a button though, which: better.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing to sleep with white noise, but I’ve been doing it most of my life. We also have it setup for our kids with physical noise making machines.

My preferred app is Dark Noise. But I’m considering switching to Apple’s Background Sounds, which are free and don’t require an app download.
