Marpac Sound Screen & SleepMate 580 combines American ingenuity and craftsmanship to create a lightweight, yet durable appliance capable of many years of reliable service. Marpac 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. The single speed 580 is made of durable plastic housing suitable for travel or use in the home or office.

Summary: Works as advertised to help sleep
Comment: Yes, this little machine has definitely improved my sleep almost from day one. I read another review that stated that you can hear a motor hum in addition to the "white noise" sound - it is true. So, I use the machine on full sound loudness, which drowns out the motor hum. Someone who wants a quieter white noise might have to put up with the motor hum, but some might not find that sound objectionable ... All in all, I am pleased with the product.

Summary: Not quite "white" noise
Comment: My wife wanted a white noise generator to drown out the early-rising birds outside our bedroom window. So I bought a SleepMate 580A about a month ago. It does cover-up the bird sounds. But as other reviewers have noted, it's quite loud - if I don't use earplugs, I wake in the morning with ringing in my ears. But my real dissatisfaction is that within the nice whooshing white noise, you can distinctly hear the hum of the fan motor (60-cycle hum). Maybe my unit is defective, or maybe I'm more sensitive to motor hum than most people. I'm going to try the Marsona 1288A.

Summary: Worth every penny
Comment: I absolutely love this item. I bought my first one 10 years ago, and spilled soda on it (sadly) and didn't waste a second replacing it.

Yes, a fan or a humidifier helps too, but really, I like that this can be used in all kinds of weather- and it travels so well!

The biggest thing I can say about it is that I love that it has a real motor- it's not a "loop" of prerecorded sounds. I can ALWAYS hear that little glitch when the loop starts over again- so annoying. The marpac product is so terrific- the real motor helps make natural white noise, and being able to turn it helps customize the sound.

You will NOT be disappointed.
