Adaptive Sound Technologies Sound + Sleep SE Noise Machine - White Noise Machine - Non-Looping Environmental/Nature Sounds for Sleep & Relaxation - with Timer & Headphone Jack - White/Silver

I bought my Sound+Sleep SE a bit over five years ago and it's worked great that entire time. However just recently it has developed a glitch where after playing for several hours it'll suddenly emit a fast stuttering noise and then power off. I contacted the company's support department and they immediately responded (within seconds) and their belief is that the memory card has gone bad and they are sending me a replacement memory card first class free of charge. I'm totally blown away by this level of support, especially as the product is no longer under warranty. I wish all businesses operated at such a level. Now as to the machine itself, I love it, which is why I've used it every night for over five years. My favorite settings is the "Meadow" setting with both "Selection" lights lit. I do hit the Display button to turn off all the lights though before I go to bed. But I just love the crickets in that particular setting.

This machine produces sounds that are far more realistic than units of it’s type, less canned, never looping, and utterly effective in providing layered, calming background noise for sleep or study. By comparison these sounds are so FAR supeior that they suspend disbelief! My husband wakes up sometimes to blurt out that it’s raining before drifting back off again, cute? You get 40 (FORTY!) easy to dial choices too! Tip: Take a cellphone screen shot of the menu or tape an index card of your known favorite settings nearby. There is such a broad range of choices I guarantee you will NOT like them ALL, (how could you, it’s variety) but you will have favorites. The machine remembers that you like Rain program 4 and Ocean program 2, so just because you turn to a new sound, your old settings per category will stand till you change them. If I go from 4the program Rain to 3rd program Meadow, then play with Crowds program 1 for awhile, when I go back to Rain again, it’ll be set at the 4th level where I left it! This company really tries to give us EVERYTHING! Like, perhaps Brown, Pink or Whitewash sound isn’t FOR everybody, so you can time it to send the baby to sleep but shut off before your spouse hits the hay. Push a single obvious button to select auto shut-off options after 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes OR you can let it just play indefinitely till you hit the on/off power key! The machine is lightweight for TRAVEL but still quality made and attractive and I like mine right next to my pillow! (Needs an outlet) I’ve tried several products (4) to reach this conclusion and I WON’T name them, they’re fine, but compared to THIS? They’re out of their league! If you buy a $19.99 unit you’ll GET a fraction of the AWESOME possibilities offered by THIS handsome beauty. This unit even has an ADAPTIVE option in which with one obvious button click activates a sound level sensor and your effects programs will swell or taper off in sync with surrounding ambient noise, so if a discussion gets ‘heated’ you won’t wake the baby, and the ‘nature’ builds and tapers back to normal as you do, Heck, you could even vacuum, and all baby hears is the wind blowing in the trees, (strong as it needs to to mute you out). Genius! It doesn’t have EVERY great sound effect under the sun, like windchimes and blizzards, distant droning lawn mowers, popcorn popping, cats purring... ah well. But I was SHOCKED by what it DOES include! A City Cafe 😃(omg) Passing Traffic 🚙, Fireplace Crackling🔥 and each VERSION of a sound type adds more layers! The first setting of Ocean is just waves smashing the breakwall, setting two adds seagulls & wind, setting three adds seagulls, wind, foghorns, passing boats and I forget all else, but each program lets you build on it. I enjoy falling rain, but I PREFER a cracking loud thunder storm and this machine provides these choices! LLove-Love Love-Love Love it! ♥️💗💕❤️

After a few nights of use, so far this is vastly superior to my old Sharper Image white noise machine that I've had for probably 20+ years. The high-quality speaker adds a lot more low-frequency to the sounds (I have been using brown noise), which enables it to mask a lot more ambient sounds that the older machine just couldn't. So far, it's allowing me to sleep without using earplugs. I probably wouldn't travel with it - it's just too big - but I can keep using earplugs when I'm in a hotel. It does take up a bit more real estate on my nightstand, but I compensated for this by upgrading to a newer and much smaller alarm clock. Time will tell about durability, longevity, etc., but for now, it seems like money well spent.

I purchased this sound machine about a month ago, and within two weeks the sound machine would just shut off after 15 minutes of operation. It was dead. It would not turn back on. I called the manufacturer, and they were very nice and replaced the unit within 1 week. I also received a return label to send the original unit. I received the new, and worked well....... for about a week. This time the shut down of the unit was different. The unit would shut down after 15 minutes, but I was able to reset the unit by unplugging the power source. This did not solve the main issue though of the constant shut down. I though the issue may have been the voltage fluctuation at the receptacle. The readout on my UPS battery backup showed a power fluctuation between 118 to 121 volts. So in order to correct this, I purchased an electronic voltage regulator to automatically adjust and maintain the voltage at 120 volts. After setting up this new auto voltage regulator, I pugged the sound machine into the auto voltage regulator, and after 15 minutes, the unit still would shut down. I then assumed that the line voltage signal was "Dirty", with noise. So I purchase a electronic line conditioner for a high fi system to clean the line signal. After installing the auto voltage regulator and the line conditioner filter in series, the sound machine still shuts down after 15 minutes. I suspect that there must be a manufacturers defect in the circuitry, since I experienced the same issues with the two units, with a clean and constant 120 volt power supply. I've given up on exchanging the sound machine with another replacement and have decided to take the loss, and just purchase a different manufacturer. This was a costly lesson. I do not recommend the purchase of this sound machine.

I love my Sound+Sleep SE. The sound is rich and natural — not harsh or mechanical — and it helps me fall asleep much faster. The adaptive mode is amazing: it adjusts gently to the noise around me and keeps the room calm. I sleep deeper, wake up more rested, and honestly consider this one of my best purchases for better sleep.

Excelente

Ich bin mehr als begeistert. Die Soundqualität der Geräusche ist phantastisch. Zudem können Boxen der individuellen Wahl angeschlossen werden. Es ist leicht zu bedienen.

La maquina perfecta, tengo el modelo antiguo y necesitaba otra para cubrir los ruidos,gritos y portazos de los vecinos. Esta teniente más sonidos y más reales, estoy muy contenta, sin estás máquinas la convivencia con los vecinos sería imposible.
