Baby sleep white noise — is this normal, or should we see a specialist?

White noise (white noise) at low, steady volume can be soothing for many babies — because it reminds them of mom's heartbeat sound in the womb and masks sudden household sounds, which can make falling asleep easier. In this way, it's "normal" and common sleep aid.
However, there's a critical point: volume level. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends that white noise machines stay at 50 decibels (about soft rain or whisper level) to your baby's ear, be placed at least 2 meters away, and be used only during falling-asleep time, not all night. Loud or all-night white noise can affect hearing development.
So: low volume, far distance, and using it only at sleep transition is safe; if you're doing this, you don't need to see a specialist. If you're unsure about volume, you can download a decibel app on your phone and measure.
