Do white noise machines have a different type of speaker? Why does it seem like the dedicated machines work so much better than my smartphone + jambox with a white noise app?
Placebo?

Maybe so. It seems like the dedicated machines are somehow better at making the sound fill the room/less directional

I have a noise app up in the windows phone store right now with a screamer hidden in it after 45 minutes. good fun

My white noise machine uses a fan instead of a speaker. You adjust the volume and the sound by changing the # of vents + diameter

Won't the reviews kill the surprise?

This. A fan or air filter is the best solution.
even if the smartphone will sounds the same ( and it probably won't, a $10 clock radio probably sounds better than your smartphone )
I feel like there's a certain sense of ritual with a dedicated device? you interact with your smartphone all day, so using it before bed isn't a really great way to get to sleep.
Climbing into bed and turning on a white noise machine with no display is probably a better way to get used to going to sleep.
I've yet to find a white noise app or machine that works better than just turning on a stand up fan and pointing it at the wall if you don't want the cool air.
My PC makes perfect white noise.
So nice to fall asleep to.

Almost as good as putting a CD in a music player at frys with 30 minutes of music then max volume porn noises. You put it in when you first get there and when you are near the front getting ready to leave, that's when it hits

Wouldnt buying a fan be cheaper?

If anyone wants to do it you make the regular music have low volume so when you put it in and crank the volume up on the device it sounds normal.

I already had all the jambox and extra smartphone

I'm using an extra smartphone hooked up to a jambox mini. Both are plugged into the wall so I don't have to worry about charging them
