Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It is very likely this review will get passed up by the 900+ others, but it's important to realize this "Sound Conditioner" isn't for everyone. When I first purchased the SleepMate I was excited to receive it after reading the great reviews and watching a couple YouTube clips (which in hindsight only give you half an idea of what they sound like). When it was first turned on, it sounded like a mix between an old computer fan (specifically CPU) and a very quiet vacuum. There are two volume levels. It has basic "EQ"ing by cutting the higher frequency noises with a twist of the top or cutting mid frequencies with a twist at the middle; you can't control the lower frequency noises. When the mids and highs are cut all the way down you can hear the motor clearest. When twisting full open, you cycle through various 1990's PC fan noises--full open being the cheapest sounding PC of them all. I spend extra money buying quiet case fans for work to prevent hearing this all day. Why would I want to bring this sound to my home? If listening to a noisy PC is not your idea of a great night's sleep, then stay away from this. If you like the sound of wind blowing, then buy yourself a quiet desk fan or a larger one for big spaces. Have it face the ceiling and cover parts of it with duct tape or place various objects on or around it to get more EQing (if that's your thing). They usually have 3+ "volume" (aka speed) settings. If you're concerned about your room being drafty just place the fan facing an enclosed space, like in a far corner or under a vanity, to create a weak vortex. Your ears will thank you for it and you'll have more utility during the summer months.
