Marpac White Noise Machine
 The Marpac white noise machine is a small device that
generates a consistent sound of tranquilizing rushing air. The sound produced by Sleepmate sound conditioner
masks unhealthy noises very effectively and brings about a sensation of peace that makes it easier for you to
sleep, concentrate and relax.
The Marpac dual speed sound machine 980A is definitely simple to run. You control the tone and volume of the
sound by simply rotating the cap and collar of the casing to mask all those unfavorable and
disheartening noises that sound so loud when you don't want to hear them.
How sound conditioners work
White noise is a pleasant sound generated by any device, which was developed to dampen, mask or block out
unwanted noise.
There are basically three kinds of white noise machines.
- Digital white noise sleep machines with prerecorded nature sounds like rain, waterfalls, birds, waves, etc.
Unlike the Marpac white noise machine, they generally play a loop that repeats itself over and over,
which some people find annoying.
- White noise machines like the Marpac 980A have another approach. They generate a natural,
consistent, unobtrusive white noise that fills the whole room. The white noise it produces is a steady,
soothing sound of air movement that is ideal to fall asleep and stay asleep in environments with unwanted
background noises. Many parents report using the Marpac white noise machine to help their babies and
children to sleep peacefully if their kids are light sleepers.
- There are now white noise machines that can be programmed with nature sounds and smooth wind sounds, which
should solve the loop issue, but they are more expensive and difficult to operate than the Marpac 980A
Sleepmate sound machine.
Where do you place the Marpac white noise machine to
sleep?
This is very important. The general recommendation of the company is to place the Sleep Mate machine
between you and the noise, a little away from your bed or you, so that you have the feeling that it fills the room
completely. However, many people put it on their nightstand and love it.
As there are so many different noise situations, the best thing to do is to experiment with placement of the
Marpac white noise machine as well as pitch and volume controls until you find the position that
is ideal for you.
Do not be afraid to try the different placements for the Sleep Mate machine. It's the only way you
will find the best place for you.
It is also important that the Marpac 980A should rest on a stable
basis, otherwise it could vibrate and the white noise would not be so clean and smooth, which would defeat the
purpose.
It is the best gift you can give to yourself, an insomniac friend, a restless husband... The applications of
this smart Marpac white noise machine are many, all of them very helpful indeed.
