Research shows that your brain is designed to single out repetitive sounds and white noise masks these disruptive sounds. The Marpac Sound Screen 980A accomplishes this by creating a series of non-repetitive wave sound frequencies. After your initial few trials, you will not notice the output from your sound machine, but its consistent, resonating signal will effectively cancel extraneous noises. It would seem that a completely quiet environment in which to sleep is an illusion, so let sound become your ally.
The SleepMate 980A by Marpac creates a consistent smooth sound of rushing air, and you can control the tone and volume by rotating the cap and collar of the housing on this sound conditioner.
