I set the Hatch Restore 2 to play Brown Noise at night at 42% volume. Sometimes he’ll meow in the wee hours before settling into his favorite spot on the couch. I love my cat to bits, but he isn’t allowed in the bedroom at night, because he scratches the carpet and wakes me. The new model now has three speakers, as opposed to the first iteration’s single speaker-and the difference is noticeable. These include: multiple types of white noise, rain, the ocean, wind and a fan, as well as more obscure tracks like “Calming Singing Bowls,” “Evening Crickets” and even a dishwasher sound. The library of noises is expansive, with 21 new sounds. The Hatch Restore 2’s white noise features are also impressive.

It eases me from sleep into wakefulness, and makes me feel refreshed from the moment my eyes open through the rest of my day. ![]() The gentle illumination of the Hatch Restore 2 has done away with my dark and stressful mornings.
