Love it.,
This is the second sound conditioner that I have owned. It cost more than the first one, however, it is worth every extra cent. It has a much richer and more soothing sound than sound machines that use a digital recording. I live in an apartment that is in a noisy business district with a 16 yr. old that stays up all night, yet, I sleep like a childless person who lives in the country. I love this white noise machine!

AHH…peace, at last!,
I think there is a contest in my neighborhood, that I’m unaware of. I suspect it’s designed to find out which homes can produce the most noise. My neighbors are definitely in on it. They’re probably in the top five! I surmise that when their dog isn’t barking continuously on its own, they’re standing in the yard yelling ‘speak’ and throwing meaty tidbits her way.
In addition, one child is always toting a boom-box, blaring rap, while the other is bouncing a basketball off the side of their house, sometimes for eight hours straight, often running onto my porch to impress me with his dribbling skills. I think the neighbor behind me is in the top five, too. He’s taken up drums, and on the weekend he moves his stereo, complete with auditorium sized speakers and sub-woofer, onto his patio for my enjoyment. Ah, yes—this is the good life!
Okay, okay…maybe it is just me, and this is the normal hum of ‘daylight living,’ from which I’ve become so removed. I do a lot of 12 hour night shift work, and I can’t expect the world to come to a screeching halt because I’d like a little sleep. But, something had to give!
Something did! My new Marpac 980 recently arrived and I couldn’t be more satisfied. It is small (and portable), but solidly built, with cushioning on the bottom to prevent vibration, or furniture scaring. The instructions are clear regarding how to adjust the volume quality, with the top rim and collar. It also has a low and high setting switch. I set mine on the highest level…remember, my neighbors are in the top five.
For such a small machine, the sound really fills the room and there aren’t any quirky artifacts, or rattles. The sound is consistent and pure. I quickly adjusted to this new, distraction from the madness, and found it quite comforting.
On the very first trial, a water main had broken close to my home. There were Public Service workers with their, noisy Bobcat, digging to China for hours. I could barely hear them. Ah, the sound of success.
If your neighborhood enters the contest, you might just want to consider one of these machines, too. Sleep deprivation is bad for both mental and physical health. Just ask me :-).
Update 11/19/10: My first Marpac unit is still going strong, and I have since ordered a second one. I think I’m addicted! I don’t only use them to sleep with, now. I use one anytime I feel like blocking out the outside world—like when reading, studying, or searching for a Zen moment. These units still receive my highest recommendation. I will never be without them, until they are extracted from my cold, lifeless hands.

GOD SEND FOR MOMs!!!,
Do you have a family member who is a light sleeper? If so, this sound machine will be a godsend for you. We purchsed it because my two year-old kept waking every time my husband or I would get up in the night to use the bathroom or get a drink of water.
Ever since we plugged this machine in, he sleeps through all of our noise. This is great for people who have smaller homes with hardwood floors, where the sound of footsteps can be disturbing to sleepers.
