 Average product, not a panacea. August 21, 2008
doinel (Mountain View, CA)
This sound conditioner came with glowing reviews on Amazon, so I may have expected too much. This system is essentially a small fan, with a limited variable speed setting, but it's not more than open holes (pictured) with sliding closures, and is somewhat disruptive (a humidifier, for example, would serve a similar purpose). It is good in canceling out potentially distracting sounds, but I can't honestly say it's better than relative silence. It's fairly priced, and is compactly designed, but I was hoping for greater variation in tone and speed. For me, it does not drop to a level that creates a more soothing tone, so I'm considering not using it at all. Also, though slight, this unit may be less effective in the winter, when the fan may decrease actual room temperature slightly.
 Sleep more soundly August 14, 2008
Mr. Lyons
I now sleep much more soundly at night.
I have two dogs that will sometimes become restless in the middle of the night. Either I'm no longer hearing them, or they're sleeping better, too.
Highly recommend!!! Love it!
 Not loud enough August 3, 2008

Would be fine, if it was 4x louder. Will only mask very quiet sounds. Not useful for most situations.

I just bought this machine to drown out the sound of my neighbor's loud thumps/doors closing at 3:30 a.m. Unfortunately, I am hearing impaired and can barely hear this machine. I do not recommend this machine if you are hearing impaired. It is not loud enough.
WASTE OF MONEY July 29, 2008

Does not block any sound. The volume is so low it doesn't help at all. Would have been nice if there was a jack for external speakers.
