Adaptive Sound Technologies LectroFan Classic White Noise Machine - Global Power Edition with Adaptors for US, UK & EU - 20 Non-Looping Fan & White Noise Variations - Black

I love it! Perfect for travel!

I am nearly 70 and have always had good hearing, but over the past many years my hearing has become more and more sensitive. My hearing test last year rated me as A+. My hearing is so keen that I cannot tolerate what I call unnecessary noise. If I’m in church, people talking and babies crying irritates me to the point that I have to leave or move my seat. If I were relaxing at home, I would be angered by noise from neighbors. I have had to move into an assisted living center due to my old age complications, and the noise from other residents – TVs and music coming from their rooms – was driving me crazy to the point where I would honestly rather be dead than continue living like that. Worse yet, was the amount of noise coming from the working staff! Between shifts or on breaks, they could be heard whooping and hollering it up with rauckus laughter halfway across the building! They didn’t care that some of the residents may be sleeping or resting. They would even yell to each other up and down the halls rather than go closer to each other and talk in a normal voice. I can’t impress upon anybody how I hated this place and having to be here because of the noise. I did not like having someone else’s TV or music blocking my enjoyment of my own TV or preventing me from resting or sleeping peacefully.Then my brother Informed me of this wonderful, magical little machine. It is like the difference between night and day in my room as well as in my head! No longer do I hear even a peep coming from the hallway or from other residents’ rooms. I am in blissful heaven! The only sound I hear is a fan since that is the setting I have chosen. I can easily adapt to the sound of a loud fan in my room. It’s not the same as having total silence, but after a while I don’t even notice the fan sound at all. I have it on 24/7. I cannot recommend this sound machine highly enough for anyone who is trying to block out noise!It’s important to note, that the machine has to be set between you and the offending noise. I have it between my recliner and the door to my room, but when I’m in the bathroom on the other side of the room, I can hear the noise coming from the hallway. So, you may need to have two separate machines going if you have noise coming from more than one direction. It will be money well spent, though!

My sleep quality really sucked until I tried this sleep machine.. so many sounds to choose from fans to helicopter sounds.. easy to set the sound, turn on and off, night after night. Highly recommend

I haven't even used it for a full night of sleep yet, but I already love it! I turned it on and went through the sounds, and I really like that the sounds actually have some bass to them. I sleep in a somewhat noisy college dorm with thin doors and inconsiderate night owls who slam doors, so I need to use earplugs. But it gets a bit TOO quiet with earplugs. I like to hear the constant sound of a fan, or heating, or water pipes, or any constant sound that buildings make (and these sounds normally have some bass to them). Which is why I purchased this. I also like that it doesn't have any annoying lights that brighten up your bedroom. Another bonus: the sleep timer can be set for any number of hours, unlike in other machines where it's only 15, 30, or 60 minutes. My insomnia can be bad enough to the point that I take 3-4 hours after turning out the lights to fall asleep, so I definitely appreciate being able to set the machine for 5 hours or so. This was definitely designed thoughtfully. My only complaint would be that the cord could be longer, especially since my dorm doesn't have many sockets. But that's nothing an extension cable can't fix. I'll definitely be adding this product to my arsenal of supplies to combat insomnia! (Which includes earplugs, lavender oil, melatonin, diphenhydramine, and sleep sound apps – you can see how desperate I am to have a good night's sleep!)UPDATE: So I've been using this for a few days now. And it's great! Silence is obviously ideal, but if that's not an option, this machine works great to block out annoying noises. I've found it works best when you place it between yourself and the offending noise. It creates a sort of wall of sound, and it blocks out my dad's snoring at night as well as any outside noises like annoying car motors. It also works great when I'm just trying to absorb myself into a novel without distractions. The only thing i would like to see is a remote, and buttons to toggle back and forth between the noises, instead of having to cycle all the way through to get to a certain noise.
