Sometimes you just can’t choose your neighbors. You might have thought that everything was perfect when you first moved in. The dorm room is perfect, the rent is cheap and you get a good night rest. Everything is just like a dream. Then comes along this new neighbor (from hell) that moved into the empty dorm room, one floor above you.
You never took notice of them until they started their nightly party and it only ends at 3 am. Maybe you thought it is a one time thing but they kept throwing parties, throwing arguments and love to stomp around the room. You tried telling them to keep the noise down, inform the management and even send them a letter explaining their behavior. None of them just works. You are lacking sleep and it shows in your work and studies.
Maybe you should just move out for your perfect dorm room but you’re worried that the new place would have another set of troublesome neighbors. Maybe the other alternative that you didn’t think of is to buy a Marpac SleepMate 980A white noise machine.
Sound Conditioner? Sound is a hair that you put conditioner on?
Our brains are tuned to “hear” repetitive noises. That is why we are easily annoyed the humming of mosquitoes or water dripping from faulty taps. So what the Marpac SleepMate 980A Sound Conditioner do is it gives off a constant but non repetitive white noise like a fan that will help covers up the negative noise.
The first few nights you might not be able to sleep thanks to the new sound but after a while you will get used to it. You can adjust the volume and the tone of the white noise by rotating the cap and collar.
Other sound machine might not work as well as the Marpac SleepMate 980A Sound Conditioner because they are playing recorded sounds. After the end of the track is reach, the sound will just repeat itself and you will hear that repetition. There is no sound track or presets sound being played so there are no repetitions in the Marpac SleepMate 980A.
Another amazing factor about the Marpac SleepMate 980A Sound Conditioner is the size of it. It has a 5.75” base diameter and as high as 3.25”. This magic box is capable of giving you a good night sleep despite its small size. Thanks to it you can also bring it around when you travel.
The price is also another factor you should consider. Earplugs cost cheaper than the Marpac SleepMate 980A Sound Conditioner but it is not capable of blocking negative noise completely. A sound cancelling headphone might cost as much as $60.00 but how are you going to sleep with that thing on. And can you imagine the cost of moving out of your apartment? That would even cost more than $100.00.
For $60.00, it is a cheap price to pay when your sleep is at stake and you are running out of options.
You can even bring it to your study session and put it in the room. Your friends might find it a bit weird to see the Marpac SleepMate 980A Sound Conditioner in the study space but will be amaze by it because they are not disturbed by outside noise and can concentrate on their work.
