Dog owners have found the handy gadget helps those scared of fireworks or other loud noises – and it’s currently on sale
While many are looking forward to Bonfire Night or Diwali, there’s one member of the family who isn’t a fan of the fireworks – the family pet dog. As the nights draw in, dog owners find themselves trying to soothe anxious pups frightened by the loud fireworks outside.
However, this simple piece of technology could be the solution, with shoppers noting its effectiveness in keeping their dogs calm during firework displays. The Easysleep white noise machine can produce sounds that serve as background noise, helping to drown out external noises.
White noise has long been a tool used by parents to lull babies to sleep, and many people who struggle with sleep also find that white noise helps them drift off more easily. Currently, the Easysleep white noise maker is available on Amazon for £21.99, reduced from £24.99 – perfect timing for the ongoing festivities.
This device does much more than just emit white noise – it can also produce pink noise, blue noise and brown noise (all similar but with different frequency ranges), as well as fan sounds, water sounds, wave sounds and more, reports the Express. With 32 volume levels to choose from and a timer that can be set for up to four hours, users can programme the machine to run throughout the firework display and then switch off in the middle of the night.
The white noise machine also features light modes, with four different glows emanating from the base of the unit, which might be particularly useful in a nursery where a child might want a comforting light to ward off any monsters under the bed. It’s also available in black, white and wood finishes, with the option to purchase without the light.

The device offers various sound effects and 32 volume levels.
The device is compact enough for travel but requires mains power to operate. John Lewis stocks a similar gadget – the Zello Original White Noise Machine – which costs £29.99 and offers 30 soothing sounds.
Dog owners might alternatively consider this plug-in Adaptil Calm diffuser, priced at £18.40 on Amazon. It claims to create a ‘relaxing and stress relieving environment’.
The Easysleep white noise machine boasts over 14,000 Amazon reviews and maintains a 4.3-star rating. Pet owners have been eager to share their experiences, with one saying: “I bought this for the dogs to help them calm with fireworks etc. The timer is brilliant, and it fades the sounds out instead of stopping abruptly. It’s small and light, so it can be taken with you on travels.”
Another customer remarked: “I bought this product for my dog to help him with separation anxiety. And it works wonders! My dog is terrified by fireworks and thunder. Between CBD oil and the white noise box, our pup is more relaxed and calm in his crate. Great product, will definitely buy more as a gift in the future!”
Shoppers aren’t just finding relief from fireworks either thanks to the Easysleep white noise machine, as one noted: “Our dog has recently been waking in the night, alert to outside noises. The machine has worked a treat, and he is far more settled and sleeping well. Very happy with it.”
However, it’s not all praise. One purchaser shared: “The unit itself does feel very cheap and the plastic buttons are so loud – which is a nightmare for noise-sensitive babies.”
