You have a noisy neighbor who argues with his wife at all hours. Or you’re next door to a squalling baby. Or you have an apartment below you, full of crazy animals (not just the four-legged kind). The sleep help you’ve been looking for is here (and in the Dual Speed model, too).
White Noise has long been known as a marvelous aid to assist people with insomnia, with snoring husbands, dorm roommates and all the little (and big) things that take away sleep from an otherwise restful night. The Sound Conditioner creates a steady, humming whoosh of sound right in the room with you that literally takes over your ear and mind, so that you can fall asleep with background noise. It’s fully adjustable, allowing you to set the volume and tone of the noise itself, and comes in a dual speed model that can shift to a more powerful white sound if needed.
While it hums, it also acts as a “sound screen,” to screen out conversations, yells, barks, cries and interruptions. These intrusions are frequently erratic, and come at odd moments (if they were steady and humming, like the machine is, they wouldn’t bother you); the sound conditioner provides a continual sound “screen” against all these invasions into your sleep.
The screening feature, by the way, is something of an illusion—the white noise does not literally drown out sounds (the product would not work well if a stereo’s thumping bass were coming through your walls, for example). The point is that the white noise gives your mind something to concentrate on. That concentration, such as one might get from an absorbing book, is what brings on sleep.

What People Are Saying About The Sleep Mate White Noise Machine
Reviewers of the Sound Conditioner were generally thrilled with the results, giving the product a total of 4 and ½ stars out of 5. Some noted that it was the first good sleep they had enjoyed in a month, or a year, or several years, depending on their medical condition (one person with sleep apnea actually overcame it with the device) or living conditions (one reviewer whose neighbor had continually barking dogs nevertheless enjoyed contented slumber for the first time in months).
Most reviewers were extremely happy with the design, and the fact that the machine did not need to be placed right next to them in order to work—the instructions note that a central location works better, so the sound can fill the room. Consumers were also surprised that the hum of the unit wasn’t louder; one complained that it needed a deeper tone (which occurred to her once she woke up).
The general impression is that the unit is well worth the money (around 54.95) and does exactly what it’s supposed to.
