Adaptive Sound Technologies, the Silicon Valley, California-based company has become an innovative leader in the noise cancellation world with the creation of their own specially patented noise cancellation technology which uses special sound masking techniques - inspired oddly enough, with their founder's desperate attempt to find some way to silence his home after the completion of a highway which passed near his home.

Instead of moving, Sam Nicolino, Jr. decided to come up with a technological solution to his problem. In addition, through his own attempts, he developed the Ecotones Therapy Machine, which uses a patented noise cancellation technology, which has the ability to listen to the sounds in your location, adapt to them, and blend to them, effectively canceling out noises and other nuisances. In fact, what the sound machine does is replace extraneous, noxious noises with the soothing sounds of a rain forest, a babbling brook, calming waves and more - and it does so in such a realistic manner that it'll make the listener seem as though they were there. Because the machine works on the sounds in your room, mixing them with natural sounds creating an effect that is always fresh and never repetitive or mechanical.

The Ecotones Sound Therapy Machine thanks in part to its specially engineered speaker pair and tuned sound chamber produces the fullest range of sound (90-20,000 Hz) of crisp audio. In addition, the machine comes with a headphone jack, which allows for private listening as well as the ability to set the machine up with a larger speaker or stereo system - through the headphone jack. And speaking of high quality audio, the orchestrations are also high quality recordings of natural recordings with accent sounds a listener would expect in a live setting, such as an occasional birdsong near a babbling brook or a foghorn in the background of the ocean waves. The technology behind the recordings is so advanced that it exceeds the normal quality of CD files. But most importantly, you'll find the Ecotones Sound Therapy Machine to be a wonderful alternative to sleeping pills.

You'll notice that once you use the Ecotones Machine that there are three different settings you can use - adaptive, background and manual. In the adaptive mode, the Ecotones Sound Therapy Machine as previously mentioned, is best for masking irritating noises as the machine adapts and evolves to the noises surrounding your room. Whereas the background mode generates a pleasant atmosphere as the sound level in the room drops. While in background mode, the unit reduces its volume in response to a ringing phone or to conversation and then resumes it's operating volume when the noise levels become quiet again. And in the manual mode, the user can select a constant volume level. The unit still creates an ever-changing orchestration while in a constant volume. Not only is the Ecotones Sound Therapy a great way to rid your room of noxious noises while also serving a great alternative to dangerous sleeping pills and their side effects.
