The Jet Lag Plan

Product note

Portable white noise machine

Covers corridor doors, lifts, and early-morning trolleys.

Price band: Mid-range ($$), $35–$80

What it's for

  • Masking the unpredictable noises of an unfamiliar room
  • Giving your brain a steady, boring sound to settle against
  • Covering a partner's snoring in a shared room

Who it's for

  • Light sleepers away from home
  • City-centre and airport-hotel stays
  • People who dislike wearing earplugs all night

What to look for

  • True continuous sound rather than a short looping clip
  • USB-C charging and a battery that lasts a full night
  • Large physical buttons and a dimmable or fully dark display
  • A volume range that goes low enough to be soothing

Honest downsides

  • One more device and cable to carry
  • A phone app plus a small speaker does most of the same job
  • Fan-based models are quieter to charge but can rattle
