This is a great little ambient light for a babies room. The lighting is dimmable, and several colors to chose from.The noise machine has several sounds to pick from, I have found it hard to turn off the sounds, "I end up working my way around pushing each button and finally it stops. There is a timer that I really don't like! It announces in a very loud but gentle ladies voice "timer is set for 10 minutes", each time you push that button she announces added on time. So the baby startles when the voice is accidentally pushed on.I haven't found a volume control. My fault, all the packaging went into recycle before I had a chance to read up on the machine.All in all we do use the sound machine and love the soft lighting every night.
