I guess this question could apply to all vacs - old and new.
When my cousin was a newborn baby, my aunt and uncle discovered that she was able to fall asleep and stay asleep more easily when they turned on their Eureka Mobile-Aire canister vacuum and left it on in the room….obviously without that noisy VibraBeat nozzle connected!!! I guess they also felt it was somehow cleaning the air in the baby’s nursery too. Have any of you heard stories like this? The hum of a canister cleaner calming a baby to sleep? |

My Son is one now and ever since he was three months old I had put him in his "baby holster" with him facing towards my chest and I would vacuum with one of my quieter vacuums like my Hoover Convertible 1010, Electrolux Model E, Oreck Dutchtech DTX1300 or my Kenmore Magic Blue and it would help him go to sleep. Here lately I'd hold him in one arm and use my Kenmore Whispertone Upright, Riccar Vibrance Classic or Panasonic Jet-Flo MC-6210 if he has trouble sleeping after he had nursed for the night. It works for us and even the hum of out Estate/Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer or the 1991 Kitchenaid Dishwasher in our kitchen is soothing to him.

Loved the sound of an Electrolux xxx as a young kid. I think this pic was taken in 1953, or 54.

Sleep sound therapy is a confirmed thing and it does help some people. There are many noisemaker devices you can turn on to make artificial noise to help you sleep. Everyone's trigger for "relaxing sound" is different. I think it might be tied to a childhood memory or some comfort subconsciously. With my Husky all I had to do was turn on a fan and after a bit he was out like a light. lol

Some friends of ours who live within earshot of a railway line, find it difficult to sleep if the trains are not running.
People often take a few days to get used to the quiet when they're away on holiday. Its just too quiet sometimes. I hadn't heard of the 'white noise' CDs before. But I do remember recordings of a busy office; typewriters, telephones... You'd play the tape just before answering the phone. |
