The one we have, though it's an hour long (ideal), won't get loud enough for some reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916634 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:16:03 +0000 Freckles 916634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: @allison: That's what i used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916611 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:08:48 +0000 allison 916611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I'll try it out!

Even when the track is edited without one, the ipod leaves a gap when it loops.</p> <p>I'm wondering if I just edited the track I have (that fades out but not in) to not fade at all, if that would work. I think it's an hour long, so it wouldn't be very noticeable, probably.</p> <p>We have the added complication that it must work for ALL of us, because LO sleeps in our room. DH is a heavy sleeper, but I'm not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916517 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 15:36:38 +0000 birdofafeather 916517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: we edited the track so it doesn't fade in or out or have a pause! if it still has the pause, i would try to make it fade in! i think DH used garage band. we found a free trial track that was a minute long and then looped it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916429 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 15:05:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 916429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do this. But we have an iPod touch and downloaded a white noise app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916324 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:49:04 +0000 Freckles 916324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I edited the track so that it gets quieter about 1 minute before the end because there's like a 5 second pause at the end of the track. Editing out that last minute made a world of a difference and sounds much smoother. There is still a blip but nothing that would startle LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916321 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:48:28 +0000 allison 916321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: We're just trying to make work what we already have. It seems like we've bought SO much baby stuff lately! If I can't get this to work, though, I'll probably end up with a machine like that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916290 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:43:08 +0000 babynumber1 916290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: We use an ipod touch. But, if I were you I would get one of these sound machines instead of using the nano. If we didn't already have the iTouch then we would have bought this one. My patients use them all teh time and love them. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/homedics-sound-spa-relaxation-sound-machine/-/A-10121441?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&#038;AFID=Google_PLA_df&#038;LNM=%7C10121441&#038;CPNG=Health+Beauty&#038;kpid=10121441&#038;LID=PA&#038;ci_src=17588969&#038;ci_sku=10121441&#038;gclid=COepkcWVo7gCFcyj4AodSzcA3Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/homedics-sound-spa-relaxation-sound-machine/-/A-10121441?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&#038;AFID=Google_PLA_df&#038;LNM=%7C10121441&#038;CPNG=Health+Beauty&#038;kpid=10121441&#038;LID=PA&#038;ci_src=17588969&#038;ci_sku=10121441&#038;gclid=COepkcWVo7gCFcyj4AodSzcA3Q</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916267 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:40:22 +0000 allison 916267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: hmm. This might work. The alt. track we tried faded out at the end, but didn't fade in at the beginning, and it jolted LO awake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916262 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:38:53 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 916262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you mean when the track ends? The pause is so brief that it's never seemed to bother LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-an-ipod-for-white-noise#post-916260 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:38:53 +0000 allison 916260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: @coacheswife123: so y'all are using an iTouch or old iPhone?

We've tried using an iPod nano, but there's a skip when the track loops, and I can't seem to figure out a way to prevent that. I need the track to play continually all night.</p> <p>Help! </p>
