Snoo Making Clicking Noise (2024)

FAQs

Snoo Making Clicking Noise? ›

The clicking noise in a Snoo device is caused by not properly attaching the plate with the 6 screws. If these screws are not correctly placed, it will make a clicking noise when you turn on your Snoo for the first time.

No. SNOO is designed to give babies a mix of movement and white noise, just as your baby enjoyed in the womb. For thousands of years, mothers have noted that simultaneous rocking and shushing work best to lull babies into slumber.

HOW TO ACTIVATE: Select the Account icon, then go to Settings, then Preferences, then Sleepytime Sounds where you can set the time you'd like white noise to play before and after each SNOO session. You can pick anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours.

At its lowest level, the Snoo plays sounds between 65 to 70 decibels, and at its highest, it reaches about 86 decibels, according to Happiest Baby.

Should you play white noise all night for your baby? No. It's recommended that you turn the white noise machine off when your baby is asleep. You can either monitor your child or set a timer.

White noise may also block out excess stimulation and thus, reduce stress levels in babies. But older claims that white noise can reduce the risk of SIDS [7] need more current research.

Some babies do best when SNOO's motion and sound are locked on one level…all night. If your baby doesn't seem to like higher motion + sound, try locking SNOO on Baseline. If your baby is waking too often, they may need a little extra jiggly motion + sound... try locking on Level 1 or 2 all night for a few weeks.

The study concluded that regular exposure to these sound pressure levels may be damaging to infant hearing and auditory development. Based on the findings of the AAP, pediatricians recommend that any white noise machines should be placed at least 7 feet away (200 cm) from your baby's crib.

The award-winning SNOO Smart Sleeper was designed for babies up to 6 months old—or until your little one can get on their hands and knees. It's safe and recommended to keep your baby sleeping in SNOO up until either of those milestones happen.

Some critics suggest SNOO creates bad habits by causing babies to become reliant on rocking, white noise, and being swaddled, making it more difficult for them to fall asleep without these womb-like sleep cues.

What are the problems with the SNOO? ›

But if you're considering splurging on a Snoo, you should know that experts have raised concerns that the constant white noise may damage hearing, the swaddle may inhibit movement and development, and some babies may have trouble transitioning to a regular (nonrocking) bassinet or crib.

Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome

And parents can rest assured that the movements of SNOO were designed with a baby's safety in mind.

Yes, you can use SNOO without turning it on. However, for safety, you must always fully zip your infant in their SNOO Sack, place them on their back, and attach SNOO Sack's wings to SNOO's safety clips.

Every child is different. Some parents and caregivers wean their infant off white noise at two, three or four years old. However, white noise can be used at any age and some adults find it useful for sleep too. Always make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines and never exceed 50 decibels.

Babies might become reliant on white noise

Babies who respond positively to white noise might sleep better at night and during naps, but only if the white noise is consistently available. This could be problematic if your baby is in a situation where they need to sleep and the sound machine is not with them.
