We first knew we had to do something when I was convinced that our upstairs neighbors had bought wooden shoes for their two children. We found that a white noise machine could make a world of difference and also protect us from much more noise pollution.
Noise is recognized by many people as one of the main problems of the 21st century. We all live on top of each other, so it seems like every little sound in an apartment is noise pollution for someone else in the building.
Noise is especially a problem when you are trying to sleep after a long hard day. We recently invested in a white noise machine to muffle noise from traffic and neighbors in and around our building.
The machine is easy to adjust and so light and compact you can also take it with you on holiday or that important business trip where you need to sleep well.
The ‘white noise’ effect creates a sense of calm by masking unwanted noise.
We bought one for our son to take to college, since his room was near a noisy stairway. The amazing effect created by this machine means he can focus and work, or relax and sleep in his room at the university. This works for him when he’s not among those running up and down the halls and stairs, or playing loud music late at night.
If you have a family member who is a light sleeper, or perhaps an elderly person, this machine makes a great gift to improve the quality of their lives. Lots of people have invested in hardwood floors these days and the “white noise” machine helps mask the pounding of footsteps from above.
My cousin works as a therapist in a small practice downtown and used the “white noise” machine in her office, to try to make sure that the things she was discussing with her patients couldn’t be heard by the next patient. , sitting nearby in the waiting room. When her office is as small as hers and is on a busy street, it can be a blessing.
We use ours mostly at special times of the year when our street is packed with out of town visitors and people coming home late at night. We also really appreciated when our neighbors had a baby last year. We were able to ensure a good night’s sleep, despite the crying sounds.
If you have trouble falling asleep, why not give this splendid machine a try? He could do for you what he has done for us.
