ABOUT
The Dreamegg D11 is one to consider if you're a parent looking for a low-cost and easy to use sound machine. It doesn't have a huge range of sounds, but the soft nightlight and internal battery help make up for that. The childproof lock are another hint that it was designed more for parents to play to their kids rather than use themselves.

I am one of those people that appreciate the going through the manual 😂 that's actually how I found your video. I have this model and I think your review is awesome and thorough. Thanks for reviewing!

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi Ka Lok. I'm very glad to hear the manual part was useful. I sometimes have my doubts that it's really worthwhile doing, so your comment helps!

[@j.pinkman6336]

I am watching this unboxing with my newborn, I like doing it cause I’m Italian and I want to make my baby listen someone speaking English since now… and that’s so funny that the video itself worked as white noise, my baby is sleeping now 😂 so, thank you for the review and for making him sleep 😂

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Amazing! I'm happy to hear my videos can be used as white noise in their own way:-)) You have also added to my ongoing thoughts about making videos in which I just talk slowly for people to listen to when sleeping.

[@j.pinkman6336]

@@nosleeplessnights1 oh wow!! Such a wonderful idea!! You have a beautiful, calm voice and pronunciation, I would make my child listen to you, maybe reading stories or something you think will sound good. Grazie! Ciao! From Italy! 🇮🇹 😊

[@caralee8039]

The best review video of white noise machine so far

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks for such positive feedback Cara!

[@Momandkian]

Hello this Portable D11 can be used for how much time continously? As you showed time is only 30,60 and 90 minutes. I want to use it for entire night for my baby. Is it possible?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi, yes you can leave it playing all night if you don't select a timer.

[@carolinegutman7112]

I gotta say that you know how to dose the progress on the review. I`m glad I found a youtuber that doesn`t need to appeal on those crappy mainstream tactics to clickbait viewers. Anyway I liked this product I`ll probably buy it for my kid. Thanks a lot!

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks for the positive feedback Caroline - I'm happy to hear you liked the way I did the review:-)

[@natasharonosulistyo6937]

Could you tell me what decibel is the halfway volume for the D11 white noise setting? I’m trying to decide what level is appropriate for my baby without destroying her hearing! Thanks heaps :)

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I don't have this machine with me at the moment to test it I'm afraid. It has incremental volume controls though, and the lowest volume is very quiet.

[@dartsstuff284]

We have acquired a second hand one of these... What is the port / hole in the bottom with 2 gold metal pins in it? Any ideas as I am stumped.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

They used to make a separate charging station that you could use instead of the cable. They discontinued that feature though.

[@dartsstuff284]

@@nosleeplessnights1 Makes sense. Was wondering if it was that. Or even to add it on to another product they had made like a projector light or something. Cheers.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

No problem. I wasn't sure what it was at first either!

[@DocRen]

I like this channel. I've been having trouble sleeping for the past few weeks because of noise. I really like how you go straight to the point in your videos. I see you've also improved in regulating the volume of your voice throughout the video (a small problem I've noticed in your 10 white noise machines video where your voice would cycle between quiet and loud ^__^"") Subscribed. Keep up the good work! ❤ Hoping to see more video reviews on things that help with sleep and relaxation. :)

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks for the positive words and for subscribing Ren. I do all the filming and editing myself, and have relied on tutorials to learn how, so I still have a very long way to go! But making the audio better was one of my main goals this year, so I'm glad you noticed an improvement. That's actually really helpful feedback, so thank you!

[@paulagarland1313]

I received the Dresmegg D11max - there is a cable for charging but absolutely nothing in box or manual about adapter. I would like suggestions to get one

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Did you buy it on Amazon? In the past, I know Dreamegg have sometimes sent people an adaptor if they contact them.

[@paulagarland1313]

@@nosleeplessnights1 yes. From Amazon

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Send the seller a message. I don't know if they still send people a free adaptor on request. If not, you'll have to get a refund or buy one separately.

[@wildfl0wer921]

Do you still happen to have this sound machine? The newer D11’s don’t have the brass prongs and aren’t compatible with the charging port. I’ve been trying to find a D11 that is compatible.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I do, but it's in storage! What were you wanting me to do exactly?

[@Miketheratguy]

Pretty cool that this one has the sound of multiple conversations but the voices sound distinct enough that if they loop, they'd get annoying quick. I like the cricket sound on this one though. Still think I'm going with the d3 pro.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Indeed, voices should be a jumble, not distinct because of the looping issue you highlight. The D3 Pro is a good choice.

[@TeeAnn]

Hey, wondering if you know how you can tell it’s s charging? My indicator doesnt seem to change color or anything, Thanks.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Mine just has a solid red colour when it's charging. It changes to green when full.

[@TeeAnn]

@@nosleeplessnights1 Thanks! We figured it out, the type C charger wasn’t fitting correctly, hubby tinkered with the charging port and it works now

[@volkitsa]

Hi. I have a lot of trouble sleeping but I really like campfire sounds. I'm looking for a reliable gadget that can make bonfire crackling sounds, do you know any? Thank you a lot in advance.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Sure! The Yogasleep Dreamcenter and Duet, the Easysleep, and the Magicteam all have fire sounds. I've reviewed three of them, so you can check out the sound (briefly). I'm in the process of reviewing the duet, so keep an eye out in the next week or two!

[@volkitsa]

@@nosleeplessnights1 thanks a bunch!!! I'll make sure to check those out. You're a lifesaver.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome. I hope you find one that you like:-)

[@florit032]

Unfortunately we have this sound machine from almost two years now, loved it initially but it has started malfunctioning 8 months ago - it discharges quickly and it doesn't actually last much on battery anyway, so have to keep a battery pack plugged in all the time - also now the volume up button changes the sounds - sometimes it's something else, the light switches on when pressing the sound button - so unfortunately unreliable for long term use.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry to hear they stopped working for you. 16 months isn't great, but sadly it's not uncommon for budget white noise machines to either not work quite right out of the box or to break after a while. Cheap tech, so it's just the luck of the draw and how much you use it unfortunately! I don't use mine often, but it still works after all this time.

[@yaz7652]

I am shocked that you heard "no puede"... this is a TERRIBLE SUBLIMINAL, there should be none at all. I was about to buy this thing and now seriously freaked out and shocked! Can you somehow show this message is taking place, or could it be that you had an auditory hallucination while using this machine? do you speak or understand Spanish? I am just trying to understand weather its a manufacturing issues or something personal. Please, let us know! :)

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi Yaz. You can hear it yourself in the video when I play the sound. No auditory hallucinations here (I played it to two Argentinians to confirm the meaning in context). And I do speak Spanish, having lived in Spain and South American countries for many years in the past and studied the language. My best guess is that whoever made the recording either didn't realise what it meant, or decided it was unimportant.

[@michour6597]

So the down volume seem to be broken or something, were you able to completely mute yours? I think the music is way too loud but I am not able to reduce it to a desirable volume

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi Michou - that doesn't seem right. I was able to turn mine down very low. I would send it back and get a replacement or money back.

[@michour6597]

@@nosleeplessnights1 sounds good, thanks for your reply :)

[@uberuber9788]

Can you stay the machine connected to power outlet while operating?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Yes you can.

[@karolinawozniak681]

Which one would you recommend for baby dreamegg d1 pro or d11 please? Thank you x

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I think both are reasonable, so I would probably choose the one that's cheaper where you live!

[@Jk201]

Oh nice glad your alive friend .

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Yep, I'm alive - thanks for noticing I've been away! I had a break from making videos because the pandemic caused us some difficulties - as it has done with most people. But I'm back in action now:-)

[@Jk201]

No Sleepless Nights welp I hope everything works out 💪🏽

[@sniolek1280]

what are the two silver dots at the bottom of the machine for? 🤔 I bought it today and I have no idea what it is for and my child is very interested in them🙈

I never worked out what they are for! If your child has a theory, I'd love to hear it:-)

@@sniolek1280 this is a late reply but it’s to attach the sound machine to a charging station instead of using a USB chord. It’s a separate purchase.

[@myfakevanity]

Any idea how does this compare to Yogasleep Hushh?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I haven't tried that one, so can't help - sorry!

[@DocRen]

I forgot to ask this question in my previous comment ^__^"" How would you compare this with the Dreamegg that you reviewed in your 10 white noise machines review video? ^__^ Hope you see this!

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I think the key differences are that this one is smaller and has a nightlight, but less sounds and no headphone jack. I think both machines are good, but I would probably choose the D3 rather than the D11 if you're not going to use if with kids (unless you'd like a nightlight). If you'd like to compare more points, you can check out the summary section of each one on my blog: Here's the D11 from this video: www.nosleeplessnights.com/dreamegg-d11-review/ And here's the previous model, the D3: www.nosleeplessnights.com/dreamegg-review/

As in, a speaker that won't break when exposed to extreme noise from other speakers? ;-)
