Sleep music and white noise sound machines are used for sound masking, conventionally when having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, due to external sounds. There are several manufacturers on the market, with everything from cheapola white noise machines to fairly expensive machines which deliver quality sound, ensuring a restful good nights sleep for even the lightest sleeper.

The varied sounds which a quality machine can emanate can certainly be helpful in inducing sleep, as well as obstructing nighttime noises that can interfere with your sleep.

Another person who would desire these machines are those who have to sleep with one who snores. Despite many great products on the market today to alleviate snoring, it still occurs regularly with many people. A quality sound machine can mask such bothersome snoring sounds.

And yet another likely use for a sound machine is in an open concept office, where even low volume talking from co-workers several yards away can be disquieting to your concentration.

Of the machines we tested in our house, we found the EcoTones brand to be the highest quality units which masked extraneous noises. There are two models of the EcoTones brand on the market:

1. Ecotones Duet Adaptive Therapy Sleep Sound Machine
This is the least expensive of the two Ecotones units and is very well designed. It provides distinguished sound with a separate woofer and tweeter mounted on top.
The sounds provided are of admirable quality. Unlike lesser quality units, which typically use a recording that keeps repeating and soon proves vexatious, these recordings, which Ecotones calls sound stories, go on for thirty minutes before repeating. It is implicitly impossible to determine when a sound story finishes and then starts up again.
There are several different sounds to choose from including one called city… so a city dweller who is away from home can feel right at home! However, the ever popular meadow, brook, the crackling fireplace, waterfall, ocean, are all extremely comforting. For something different, try the train, or meditation. There also is a plain vanilla white noise setting, if you wish.
The response feature, whereupon the microphone picks up ambient sounds like coughing and snoring and adjusts the volume correspondingly, works extremely well.
A unique feature to Ecotones is the ‘richness’ setting. Adjusting this on your sound story will result in variations of your sleep music. A nice feature allowing you to customize your own personal sound stories.

2. Ecotones Adaptive Sound Therapy Machine
The grand daddy of all sleep therapy machines, this is THE most superior of all those we tried. This unit features twelve Sound Stories which include: Soothing Seaside, Calming Waves, Babbling Brook, Gentle Rain, Distant Thunderstorm, Nature’s Meadow, Crackling Fireplace, Warming Campfire, Relaxing Fan, Big City Background, Restful Train Ride and Pure Meditation.
The unit’s speaker pair and a 2.4-liter sound chamber have been tuned to produce a full range of quality sound that is simply amazing.
This unit, like it’s baby brother the Duet, features the adaptive sound technology that will step-up volumes to mask outside (interfering) noise. It works exceedingly well and is most useful if you live near a noisy street or even if you have a snorer in the room! But this machine also includes a manual mode (stays at user present level) and a background mode which comes on when the room is quiet and automatically dims when conversation is present. This is the “Cadillac” of sleep music sound machines!

So there you have it, the best of the sleep music and white noise sound machines. See detailed specs and prices, along with other owners reviews, at my website.
