They are quite loud, the mechanisms to maintain heat (and humidity in more advanced incubators) create a low hum. However they are much quieter than previously. Incubators also allow bright lights in, this can be rectified with incubator covers. They can also be too big for the baby, making him or her feel uncomfortable and 'lost'. This is fixed with soft boundries or nests around the baby so he or she feels like they are still inside their mum.
