5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect white noise machine, December 30, 2007

By	Karen U "Mom of 2" (MA) - See all my reviews

This sound screen is exactly what I was looking for. I have trouble sleeping at night and in order to block out those night sounds I have been using a Honeywell HEPA filter on high all night long for the last 3-4 years. The problem is the HEPA filter is moving a lot of air and draws roughly 250 Watts of electricity, which is a lot to be running 12+ hours a day, ever day of the year. Also its not very feasible for me to take it with me traveling, which makes it hard to sleep on the road. Electronic white noise equivilents all sound very electronic to me and I can usually hear the point of repetition, which bothers me and keeps me awake.

So I asked for and received the Marpac 980 A for christmas - it is the perfect solution. It draws a lot less electricity, which was something I was looking for. It creates the same sort of sound the air filter or a fan creates - the dial allows you to adjust how loud it is and the type of noise - one way is a mostly rushing air noise, the other is more of a pleasant mechanical hum. It also has two settings on the on/off switch, low and high.

The sound screen is a lot softer volume wise than something like my air filter, when I first turned it on my husband remarked 'Is that as loud as it gets?', however, while my air filter sits on the other side of the room, far away, I put the marpac next to me on my nightstand and it actually seems about the same volume at that proximity. It's small size (about 4.5" diameter) means I can take it with me when travelling. I also liked that it has foam padding on the bottom so it will not scratch nice furniture it is set on.

It does let off a very very slight airflow out the holes, if I put my hand right over them I can feel it, but not enough to reach my face sleeping next to it and bother me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Loud Enough, December 14, 2008

By	Pierre "Pierre" (NYC, NY.) - See all my reviews

This is a good product but I found that the white noise simply is not loud enough to block out any sleep wakening sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars sleep machine, May 8, 2008

By	R. johnson (cleveland, ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We are very happy with this product. It is simple with no fancy sounds, just a nice whirring noise. You can adjust the level and we have never slept better. Great buy! It will last forever.
