Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't even know how many stars to rate this. We bought it for the white noise to use for our newborn baby's naps and its the only noise we've used on the machine and I suppose it DOES produce a white noise but that's not the only thing. I hate to even write this and broadcast to the world that I hear voices but that's exactly what's going on. I didn't hear it for the first 3-4 days then the next night while I was falling asleep I heard a weird computerized faint voice-like talking under the white noise saying (and this is really funny) "eeeeeeggs...and pastrami" over and over. I can't remember what other strange phrases I heard for the next couple nights but I was reluctant to tell my wife about it fearing I would sound crazy, but the next day she asked me if I heard the sound machine talking! Just today as we were laying down to nap I heard it again saying "noooooo spitting" LOL. There's not always distinguishable words but there is always a ringing, clanking or chiming in the background under the white noise. It's a lot more hilarious than it is creepy and there's a lot more sinister things it could be saying subliminally than talking about breakfast and general public manners but I gotta say that its pretty weird. I don't post reviews very often but I had to on this one. I am going to try to record a video to see if the voices come through and if so I will edit and add that. I hope that it will record and get some public confirmation that it really is talking to us. We can't be the only ones hearing this. So, sounds machine talking to me = 1 star but if it wasn't for that it still wouldn't get much more than about 3 stars because of the following: -Very loud buttons. This doesn't sound like a big deal and would never have even thought about it if it was for myself but when you've just spent 2 hours getting your baby to sleep and you want to turn it on or adjust the volume the loud clicking makes you cringe. -Very large differences in volume on each click up or down. -Very obvious, short loops in sound -Bad sound quality over all. I actually would like to return this but I threw away the packaging after the first night thinking it would do the job but that was before it started talking to me. HAHAHA. I still might try though.
