Question 1

What is Savara

Accepted Answer

Savara is a baby sound machine designed to create a calm, steady sound environment for sleep. Savara focuses on simple, continuous sound designed to remain gentle and unobtrusive as part of a baby’s sleep routine.

Question 2

Why a dedicated device instead of just using Spotify or YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Savara is a dedicated sleep sound device: no screen, no notifications, no Wi-Fi required. Some sound machines solve this with a Bluetooth speaker built in, so you can stream anything from your phone. But that still means the sound depends on a phone somewhere: a battery, a connection, an app staying open. Savara isn't tied to any of that. It plays the same three sound environments every time, on its own. That consistency is part of the point. A steady, repeated sound as part of the bedtime routine is one of the more consistently recommended tools for helping babies settle. Press play, and it runs the same way, every night.

Question 3

Do I need an app or Wi-Fi to use Savara?

Accepted Answer

No - Savara is intentionally simple. It doesn't rely on apps, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth to function.

Question 4

Is Savara safe for babies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Savara is designed specifically for babies. General guidance recommends keeping sound machines at or below 50 dB at the baby's ear level — roughly the volume of a quiet conversation — and placing the device at least 7 feet (2 meters) from where the baby sleeps. If you're unsure, a free decibel meter app on your phone makes it easy to check. As with any sound device, keep Savara on a shelf or dresser rather than in the baby's bed, following general safe-sleep guidelines.

Question 5

Is Savara a medical device?

Accepted Answer

No. Savara is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. It is designed to support relaxation and sleep routines.

Question 6

Is white noise safe for babies?

Accepted Answer

White noise is widely used for infant sleep and many families find it helpful. Savara takes a different approach, designed for parents who want something that feels warmer and more intentional. The sounds are tonal rather than noise-based, built around 432 Hz frequencies, handpan and bansuri, and Tibetan singing bowls, which many parents find easier to have playing for long stretches.

Question 7

What's the difference between white noise and the sounds on Savara?

Accepted Answer

White noise is a broadband noise that masks other sounds. Savara’s sounds are tonal. They have warmth, resonance, and gentle movement, making them feel more like a calm sound environment than a noise blocker. Many parents find tonal sounds easier to listen to over long periods, for themselves as well as their baby.

Question 8

How loud should a baby sound machine be?

Accepted Answer

General guidance suggests keeping sound machines below 50 decibels at the baby's ear level which is roughly the volume of a quiet conversation. Savara doesn't cap its volume, so it can be used effectively in noisier environments like outdoors or on the go. As with any sound device used near a baby, parents should use their judgment and keep the volume at a comfortable, gentle level.

Question 9

Can I use Savara for older children or adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Savara is designed with babies in mind, the sounds work well for toddlers, older children, and adults who find tonal, ambient sound helpful for focus or sleep. Many parents tell us they fall asleep to it too.

Question 10

Why tonal sounds specifically — handpan and bansuri, singing bowls, and 432 Hz?

Accepted Answer

Each sound on Savara is built around steady, resonant tones rather than rhythm, melody, or noise. Handpan and bansuri produce warm, flowing tones that blend naturally into one another, one modern and percussive, one ancient and breath-led. Singing bowls create long, sustained resonance that feels spacious and grounding. The 432 Hz track is built around a  frequency that sits slightly lower than standard modern audio. Many people experience it as softer and warmer to listen to over time.Together they offer three distinct sound environments, all designed to feel calm and non-stimulating for longer periods of rest.

Question 11

What's included with Savara?

Accepted Answer

Savara comes with a USB-C charging cable. The device includes three sound environments (432 Hz, handpan and bansuri, and Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and chimes), a sleep timer, and a warm night light. Battery life is up to 24 hours depending on volume level and whether the night light is in use.

Question 12

Is savara portable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Savara clips onto prams and cots and is built to travel, for naps at home, outside, or wherever the day takes you.
