Product Description
Marpac Sound Screen & SleepMate 980 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 dual speed 980 is made of durable plastic housing suitable for travel or use in the home or office.

 Can't live without it! March 9, 2010
David Hendrix (West Des Moines, IA)
I just bought my second SleepMate. The first one still works fine but I thought that after 16 years of heavy use it was time for a new one.(My wife and I fight over it when I travel). I'm a light sleeper so this machine has changed my life because it provides a soft background noise that helps keep me in my deep sleep. This is probably one of the best products I have ever purchased.
 It will wear out eventually... March 9, 2010

I am unfortunately always having to replace this product after a while as it wears out. I have been using one to help me sleep for the last seven years and I am currently on my third one. They always end up developing a "rattle" or "whirring" noise---and not the good kind of "whirring" but a distracting "something's-not-right-with-this-thing" kind of whirring, over time. Also, they really don't cover up noise, but rather help the brain into an alpha-wave state, which is associated with deep physical and mental relaxation. I still hear all kinds of ambient noise, even with it on. I also wish it had a lower tone, but it is the best one out there, so I will keep on buying it even though it ain't perfect. When you are sleep deprived, you'll take whatever's close enough!
 Not loud enough March 8, 2010
Mommy of 2 boys (Pasadena, CA)
This sound conditioner has a nice whooshing nice, but wasn't loud enough for us. Our goal was to cover the household sounds so our baby could sleep without disturbance, and this machine didn't produce enough noise for that. We have an inexpensive sound machine that we can turn up much louder.
Looking to Drown Out Loud Downstairs Neighbors March 7, 2010

I live on the first floor of a multi-family home and recently two people moved into the basement apartment below me. Since the basement is not insulated like it would be if it was between two floors where people are living (hence why it's an "illegal" apartment- no one is meant to live down there!!), the noise I hear from them is two times as loud as it should be. They are very erratic in their behavior- being up all night, tv blasting at all hours and talking and/or yelling at each other over it- that it was waking me up in the middle of the night AND preventing me from falling asleep.
After they have not quieted down at the multiple requests of the landlord, I figured that buying a white noise machine was my only option left to try and drown them out. The first night I used this- what a difference!! I placed it between my bed and my nightstand. I use it on the level I, which is the low level. The level II seems to be too loud for having it right next to my bed. It took me a couple days to adjust the top and the bottom to the right pitch to drown out the male voice, and now I can barely hear them when I am trying to sleep.
This machine is not meant to cancel out all sound, just the majority, which it does. I still can faintly hear them, but by no means as loud as before I had the white noise. I have not been woken up by them since I started using this! Give it a try if you have neighbors who are crazy like mine.
Great if you share room with baby March 7, 2010
R. Higby
The constant (non-looping) whooshing noise sounds womb-like but isn't annoying to parents who have to listen to it as well. We purchased this after trying several MP3s of ocean, stream, etc. but couldn't stand listening to it all night. We're very pleased with this little machine.
