Product Description
Marpac combines American ingenuity and craftsmanship to create a lightweight, yet durable appliance capable of many years of reliable service. These sound conditioners create a consistent, smooth sound of rushing air. The tone and volume of the sound are controlled by simply rotating the "cap" and "collar" of the housing. This "white noise" sound effectively masks unwanted noises and creates a sense of calm, making it easier to concentrate, relax and/or sleep. These sound conditioners are recommended for restless sleepers, shift workers, infants, children, students, apartment dwellers, office workers (for confidentiality) and many others. We offer the single speed model 580A or the dual speed 980A, both in a durable plastic housing suitable for travel or use in the home or office.

5 out of 5 stars sound soothing barrier for overstimulated and sound-sensitive people   November 13, 2008
Aylin Kay Guvenc (san francisco)
I bought the Marpac 980 A originally for my classroom. i work with kids that struggle with an increased sensitivity to noise. i also struggle with noise sensitivity. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! For the area that it was placed in (where the loudest and most sensitive child sat) it did its job. However, ideally i would have needed at least 3 other machines to create the noise muting environment i was looking for. After school it was a life saver for me, because it enabled me to work on paper-work with less distraction. Now (my buddy) the 'Marpac' is residing in my apartment. I live in a major city that is very loud. It effectively mutes (but not extinguishes) sounds from inside the apartment unit and in the hallway of the building itself (i have placed it right next to the door). I just bought another one for my 'studio'/sleeping/living room as the street noise keeps me awake at night. br /I know its tempting to buy the cheaper model... but the whole point of getting the more expensive one is that you have the option (which i have NEVER used by the way) of flipping the switch to the 'lower frequency' which is the frequency that the cheaper model offers. I am not sure why they even sell the cheaper model at all... br /Oh, and this machine has quite literally been ON 24/7 since January 08 (its currently November 08 and there have been no problems.


3 out of 5 stars I like it...but doesn't always cover the snoring   October 28, 2008

The machine does a good job of blocking out noise but doesn't always block out snoring, the reason I bought it. I still like it...but it hasn't totally solved the problem. Also, they didn't send the Nature noise CD with it...and I forgot to complain to get the Nature CD sent to me separately. If you can make that happen, that would be great!!! (There was also no coupon for the CD which I thought might be the other way they were going to handle the Nature noise CD.)


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good   September 15, 2008

It is pretty good! It isn't as loud as I would expect it to be, even on the highest setting.


5 out of 5 stars good product   September 7, 2008

This product has a nice tone and really covers up outside noise. I took it on a trip and it was very helpful in allowing me to sleep as I am a very light sleeper. My daughter got one too.


5 out of 5 stars really works!   September 3, 2008

this item really works for the application. I use it to create white noise to help with sleeping. I have used them in clinical situations before to mask conversations which it also does very well. Highly adjustable, pleasant sounding.
