As Guy Fawkes Night approaches, many pet owners worry about how the loud fireworks will affect their furry companions. Fortunately, a simple, budget-friendly device has received glowing reviews for helping anxious dogs stay calm during noisy celebrations.
The Easysleep Sound White Noise Machine, available on Amazon for just £21.99 (down from £24.99), has been praised for its ability to mask disruptive sounds with soothing ambient noise. Originally popular as a sleep aid for babies, white noise and other sound frequencies like pink, blue, and brown noise have proven effective in reducing anxiety and aiding restful sleep—and now owners are applying this to their pets.
This versatile machine offers 32 volume settings and a timer that can be programmed for up to four hours, allowing pet owners to cover the duration of fireworks and then shut off automatically. Additionally, it can produce a variety of natural sounds, including fan noise, water, and ocean waves, to create a calming environment.

Beyond sound, the Easysleep device comes in three styles—black, white, and timber—and offers an optional soothing light with four gentle color glows, ideal for comforting both pets and children during stressful nights. Portable yet mains-powered, it can be taken on trips but requires a power outlet.
With over 14,000 reviews on Amazon and an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars, the device has garnered enthusiastic praise from users. One dog owner shared, “I bought this for the dogs to help calm them with fireworks… The timer is brilliant, and it fades the sounds out instead of stopping abruptly. It’s small and light, so it can be taken with you on travels.”
Another customer noted significant relief for their dog’s separation anxiety, saying, “Between CBD oil and the white noise box, our pup is more relaxed and calm in his crate. Great product, will definitely buy more as a gift in the future.”
The benefits extend beyond fireworks stress. A user reported, “Our dog has been waking at night to outside noises. The machine has worked a treat, and he is far more settled and sleeping well.”
However, some users found faults with the product’s build quality. “The unit feels cheap, and the plastic buttons are very loud, which can disturb noise-sensitive babies,” one reviewer noted, echoing similar concerns from others.
Despite some minor drawbacks, the Easysleep White Noise Machine remains a popular, affordable solution for pet owners seeking to ease anxiety and promote calmness at home during noisy or stressful events.
