Canopy Sound Machine + Aroma first impressions

I live in New York City, so you’d think my sleep is interrupted by loud noises all night, but I actually have the opposite problem. My street is incredibly quiet overnight, which means any time there is a noise — like my upstairs neighbors’ creaking floorboards — I’m super aware of it. I can’t sleep in dead quiet, so I’ve used different sound machines for years (my Echo Spot, and more recently the Babelio sound machine).

I’ve only used the Canopy Sound Machine + Aroma for four nights, but I can already tell it’s going to earn a permanent spot on my nightstand. I prefer brown noise to white noise, and the Canopy’s brown noise setting is perfect. Some of the programmed sounds are definitely geared toward babies, like shushing and lullabies, and I don’t see myself ever using those. But there are enough white noise and nature soundscapes that I will use to justify the device’s price.

I have a Vitruvi essential oil diffuser, which I love, but it’s not the quietest while running. So I’ve been enjoying the absolutely silent aromatherapy from Canopy. I just squeeze a few drops of my lavender and peppermint oils, and the scents are diffused throughout the night.

I’m not a night light gal, but I do like to wind down the evening with soft, dim lighting. The red and white built-in lights are soothing and not at all too bright. You are able to adjust the brightness as well.

The 15-hour battery life means I get two nights’ worth of use out of the Canopy Sound Machine + Aroma before having to recharge. I can also leave it on the charger overnight to avoid a lapse in my precious brown noise.

It’s only been a few nights, but so far, I’m impressed. The Canopy Sound Machine + Aroma is stylish, portable, and packed with great sleep tools. I would absolutely spend my own money on this.
