We sometimes use the pedestal fan, turn it on high, but face it to the wall so we don't create a wind storm in the bedroom ) - it drowns out noise well (and is free if you already have one, or most dept stores eg Kmart sell them for about $15)
We used either a CD alarm clock with 'Music for Dreaming' or a Fisher Price aquarium toy which made ocean sounds. They also brought out a jungle one which had a creek noise and crickets.
We got ours as a gift but they sell them at the shaver shop or I have also seen them at tandy. They are by homeped (sp?) and have all of those sound options and a light show which is optional.
Thanks Alibaby - just checked out the Homedics Lullaby SoundSpa online - what a ripper product. Bit more than I wanted to spend, but I may be able to convince DH....
