The Sleep Mate/SoundScreen 980 - Dohm DS- White Noise Machine by Marpac creates the consistent, smooth sound of rushing air to help control unwanted intermittent or continuous noise, such as traffic, nearby conversation, snoring, or a ticking clock, so you and your little ones can sleep better. Experts recommend using white noise to calm crying and colicky babies as well. Also helpful during the day to mask distracting noise for anyone requiring concentration or relaxation, or to add noise to an area that may otherwise be too quiet. Individuals with tinnitus often find that a competing sound at a constant low level, such as white noise, may mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable.
You will no longer have to whisper and tiptoe around when your child is sleeping! Also useful when siblings share rooms or have different bedtime schedules. It can be placed inside the bedroom, or outside the bedroom door to provide generalized white noise in the quiet sleeping area.
Also useful for privacy: If you do not want someone to hear conversations inside a room, you should place the SleepMate SoundScreen directly outside the room so passersby will only hear the white noise, not the conversation.
Sound is fully adjustable for tone and volume and has two frequency levels for broader range. The dual speed 980 offers a greater range of tone and volume than the single speed 580.
We recommend the SleepMateŽ980 for larger rooms or when you need to mask louder noises. Browse our digital models as well, which provide even greater sound masking capabilities as well as soothing natural sounds.
