I highly recommend this sound machine and am giving it five stars even though I had problems with it almost immediately — want to know why? Please read on. Before buying ASTI's Sound Sleep machine, I did my homework. My goal was to find the best sound generating machine on the market, hoping it could help my boyfriend who has bad tinnitus, frequent insomnia, and on top of all that, noisy neighbors. I also thought I might like it too, since I also have mild tinnitus, and insomnia sometimes, and I use a CPAP machine so any distraction from that is welcome, and also a construction project just started across the street from me (I also snore when I'm not using my CPAP machine, so I thought it might help with that noise, too). So, I researched professional product reviews of sound machines, and hands-down the Sound Sleep machine was the clear winner. The reviews placed it as the best, noting its superior sound quality, its realistic and nonrepetitive sound stories, its amazing adaptive sound technology that instantly responds to noises in the environment, its gradual soft fade out on its sleep timer, and its many other great features. I studied the website of the manufacturer (Adaptive Sound Technologies Inc.), which is "soundofsleep" dot com, which by the way holds a wealth of useful information, and from there I was directed to Amazon to make my purchase (you can't buy directly from ASTI). So, my next stop was Amazon. I read many great reviews, but I also made sure I looked at the "most helpful critical review," and its comments — I find that often the most helpful information is buried in all the comments to critical reviews, and in this case it was a gold mine of very useful information. In a nutshell, it was determined that a batch of the sound sleep machines had a bad memory card installed, and this was the cause of the small number of bad reviews. The manufacturer immediately responded to each bad review, offering to resolve each problem free of charge and replace each defective machine with a brand-new one, and also they unilaterally decided to extend their warranty to guarantee all of their memory cards for the life of the product, for all machines they have ever sold. They corrected the technical problem, and all the ones they ship to Amazon now have a good card, and they believe they've cleared out all the bad stock from Amazon now. Well, that seemed perfectly reasonable to me — even the best companies and the best products have problems now and then, and what really matters is how the company responds to it and takes care of it, and it sounded like they addressed the problem and were doing a great job with customer service. So, I bought one — ordered it last Monday, and it arrived the next day (Tuesday, November 3). I was delighted with it and slept like a baby with it on ocean setting that night, however I did notice a faint, brief crackle in ocean mode, on low richness setting, that I almost thought at first was just one of the sound effects. But then I noticed it for sure the following night, Wednesday, so then Thursday morning I listened to it carefully, and sure enough, there was an intermittent crackle. I realized then that I must've gotten one of the bad ones that hadn't been cleared out of stock yet, so that morning I emailed ASTI customer service (Jack Conway) and told him my problem. He responded to me right away and told me he would replace my machine with a new one. Now, I happen to be lucky in that I work not far from ASTI headquarters, so the next morning (Friday) I brought the machine in to work with me, called Jack and arranged a meeting, and that morning drove over to see Jack in person to get my new machine. I must say that he and everyone else there were so nice! Jack greeted me like Santa Claus emerging from his workshop, and immediately took my defective machine, and handed me a brand-new one, and then asked if I'd like to test it out. So right then and there, we opened the box and he plugged in my new machine and we tested it and it sounded great. He said they stand behind their product, and if I have any problems in the future, he said "you know where we are, and just let us know and we will take care of you." Now that's great customer service! So now, some words about the machine itself — and please note that I plan to come back and update this review as time goes on, especially after my boyfriend has a chance to use it, which he hasn't yet: When I got back to my office on Friday with my brand-new machine, I plugged it in at my desk and left it on for the rest of the day, and it performed brilliantly — no problems whatsoever, and not once did I notice any sense of repetition or looping. I think I had it on for about six hours, and it was just as if someone had gone out into nature and recorded six hours of sounds just for me. I tried out every single sound story and every richness setting, and the sound was so lifelike, so clear and amazing. Everyone who stopped by my desk wanted one! And, it responded well to surrounding noises — even a door slamming which I thought was pretty far away. I also found that it was very relaxing while working, which I hadn't even thought of before; it really made work more pleasant, so now I'm even toying with the idea of getting one for my office, too! At home, I find it's very nice to have on while I'm working at my home computer; it makes for very pleasant background noise, and I find it amusing when it tries to shush me if I sneeze or cough. :-) At bedtime, it is indispensable. I set the sleep timer and float away on the ocean waves, my favorite sound story for bedtime. I fall asleep before it shuts off, so today before writing this review, I set the timer so I could check how it turns off: a couple minutes before shut off time, it starts to gradually get quieter and softer, until it gently fades away to complete silence by the time it shuts off. Perfect. I also love how I can turn off the display lights at night, so it's completely dark. And I also love how the speaker is on top, so no matter which way you face the machine, you are never turning the speakers away from you. But the adaptive mode is its most amazing feature, besides the incredible sounding sound stories: it literally responds instantly to sudden rises in volume in the room, and it doesn't just turn up the volume — it also dynamically can throw in things from its collection of sound story sound effects to create a natural sounding reaction that's very helpful in masking the sudden disturbance (for example: in rainfall, it might raise the volume of the rain and add a clap of thunder). Some tips on operation: if it seems to be having trouble hearing and responding to a sound disturbance, turn the unit so the microphone faces the sound, and if possible move it closer to the sound source. Also note that, if it doesn't seem to be masking a certain sound enough, try a different sound story, and/or try turning the volume up. For example, the other night a train went by rather loudly, and at first the machine didn't seem to respond to it, so then I turned the microphone so it faced the window, and I turned up the volume, and then it responded to the train so well, I couldn't hear the train at all. As for the sound stories themselves: Waterfall: at level I, this sound story is an electric fan, which is pretty intense and sounds more like a biplane to me. At level II, it's a thundering waterfall, very similar to white noise. At level III, they add in things like wind, splashes, and just a richness of sound to give it more depth and dimension. You really do feel like you're standing next to a thundering waterfall in the wilderness. Fireplace: one of my favorites. At level I, it's a steadily crackling fireplace, with the occasional sound of a log gently collapsing. At level II, it has more crackling and more logs falling, and the occasional soft distant sound of a tea kettle whistling, or cats purring. At level III, it switches to a roaring campfire in the woods, with lots of crackling and logs falling, and occasional sounds of wind whooshing through the trees, and occasional birds. Ocean: my hands-down favorite for going to sleep. At level I, it's ocean waves. At level II, they add in occasional birds and seals. At level III, they add on top of that occasional fog horns and buoy bells. Meadow: this sounds like a stream gently flowing through a meadow at night with lots of crickets chirping. (Note: when I met with Jack Conway, he said the crickets were recorded in his own backyard!) That's mostly what you hear, at all the richness levels, but with more richness they seem to add in wind through the trees, occasional birds, and rain, I believe. This one is great if you like to fall asleep to the sound of crickets, and of course the water sounds are very soothing, too. Train: you hear all the normal train click clack sounds, and with more richness they add in things like lonesome train whistles and bells. I find this sound story kind of ironic, since trains might be a noise you are trying to cover up! But it's a nice steady mechanical sound if that's what helps you relax. And I can vouch for its realism, because I hear real trains pass by my house day and night (as mentioned above). City: like Train, this one seems like a sound you would be wanting to cover up, and again like Train it is very realistic, with the steady hum of the city and other realistic noises thrown in. I'm not fond of this one myself, but then I have a coworker who grew up in the city, and when he heard this one he said it would definitely be one of his favorites, and would help him sleep. So, to each his own. Rainfall: this is a definite favorite (and Jack Conway's favorite, he said). The recording of the rain is so absolutely crystal clear, you feel like you're standing outside in a rainstorm. It is so realistic, with the rain, the occasional thunder, and other storm sounds like the rushing of wind, that it will be loved by anyone who loves the sound of the rain and a good storm. With increased richness, you get more depth and thunder, and vice versa. You can tell they used primo equipment to record all their sounds, especially the rain: my boyfriend is a professional musician with a home recording studio, and once he made a recording of rain outside his door, and he has the best recording equipment you can get, and I swear the quality I hear in this sound story is on par with the quality of my boyfriend's recording. Outstanding, and great for sleeping, and great for masking a wide variety of sounds. Brook: this is the wonderful sound of rushing water in a brook in the woods, with the occasional sounds of water splashing and birds and other nature sounds. This is one of my favorites for during the day. Could also be a great one at night, if you like that steady rushing and babbling water sound. My coworker friend who liked the City recording actually said that Brook would be his top favorite. It is very soothing and relaxing. With that steady rush, it would also be good at masking a lot of sounds, similar to Rainfall and Waterfall, but perhaps not as intense as those two. Meditation: this is the steady drone of some kind of musical instrument, with sitars and other musical sounds thrown in with added richness. Personally, I am not fond of this one, but again everyone is different. Another friend at work said that her husband would like it, not for sleeping but for use in actual meditation, and she commented that the sitars sounded like whale song to her. So, I'm sure someone might like this for meditation and/or sleeping or relaxing. White noise: this has three different settings with different pitches: brown noise at level I, pink noise at level II, and white noise at level III. I am not fond of this one myself, but it would be perfect for someone who likes blank white noise, such as falling asleep to the television when it's just static. I'm thinking it might be good for tinnitus masking — I'll have to wait and see what my boyfriend's experience with the machine is. And there you have it — my first week's experience. In summary, I highly recommend this sound machine, and believe it is indeed the best one on the market, and great for a variety of uses, and the company itself has outstanding customer service with satisfaction guaranteed. I will update my review after I've had more time with it, and after my boyfriend gets a chance to use one, too.

I am extremely surprised by how popular this device is. The number of glowing reviews praising its rich sounds, smart features, and overall quality make no sense to me, because I experienced essentially the exact opposite. This noise machine puts out very low quality sound, and I can't imagine anyone actually choosing to use it. To start with... Device design/ergonomics When I received the item, I immediately realized how light it was. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but when audio is concerned, in general the heavier the device the better the sound. Amplifiers, speaker magnets, and insulation materials are rather weighty, so a lightweight product probably doesn't have a lot of those. The buttons and the dial on the front are of very low quality. When you press the buttons, the entire front face caves a bit, and the buttons don't pop back out evenly. There is a lot of play when pressing the individual buttons, and it makes it sort of difficult to have a tactile idea of when the button has actually been pressed. This is a problem for a device that you'll be using in the dark when you're sleepy. Turning the knob to change the 'Sound Story', you can feel a large amount of play between the shaft and the receptacle, and there isn't much delineation between the choices. I would have preferred a snap-to feel on the knob so that it's obvious that you've made the choice, but instead you really just get a light pressure to tell you to stop turning. These complaints may seem nitpicky (and they are), but the reason I'm bringing this up is because this device costs $100. For that kind of money I expect high quality. I would have been OK with the above sacrifices if they were made to get better sound quality, but... Sound Quality The sound quality of this device is downright awful. I cannot put into words how let-down I was when I first fired it up. The sounds themselves are well recorded and of high quality, but the hardware on the device is just not up to the task of playing them. The manufacturers of the device like to point out that the device has a tweeter (speaker designed to play high notes), and a subwoofer (a speaker designed for low notes) to help replicate real-life sounds. However, one look at the dimensions of this product should have told me that the 'subwoofer' is far too small to be of any use. There is positively no bass sound coming out of this device, which is a problem for three reasons. The first reason is that bass sounds are what add richness to what you're hearing. When you remove the bass, you remove the depth and immersiveness (probably not a real word) of the sound. You're left with a sound that doesn't sound authentic, and is missing key areas that convince your mind that you actually are next to a babbling brook or a real thunderstorm. The second reason is that most of the sounds you'll want to block out have bass components to them. If someone is walking around above your apartment, you're only going to hear the low, bass-y sounds of the footsteps. Since this device has no ability to make low noises of its own, the bass noises from outside sources will flow right into your ear without any impediment. Idling cars, loud music, footsteps, people dropping things, people bumping into walls, etc, are completely unhindered by this device. Finally, the worst offender is that fact that the recorded sounds themselves are almost all bass-heavy! Playing the babbling brook 'Sound Story', you hear a lot of rushing water along with the 'plunks' of the current. Unfortunately, those 'plunks' are almost entirely bass, and they are WAY outside the range of what this device can handle. The 'subwoofer' in this device bottomed out every time that those sounds played (and they played maybe 1-2 times a second). I could almost hear the poor speaker wheezing 'Why... are... you... doing... this... to... me...' as it tried (and failed) to reproduce the sounds on the 'Sound Story'. The result was a pitiful and extremely annoying clunk that occurred nearly constantly, which completely overshadowed the rest of the story. The tweeter itself is also a problem, but for the opposite reason. The tweeter is hyperactive and incredibly shrill, so the sounds of the water on the Babbling Brook or the drops of rain on the Thunderstorm are extremely intrusive, and truly sound terrible. Furthermore, high-pitched sounds are very easily deflected and very directional, so if you move our head at all, the entire profile of the sound changes dramatically. I was listening to the Thunderstorm while lying on my back, and I was acutely aware of the fact that my right ear was getting much more sound than my left ear. After a few minutes I managed to acclimate myself to this, and it went from 'annoying' to 'nearly ignorable'. However, I rolled over on my side, and the sound profile instantly changed! Now my right ear was getting the full force of the sound and my left ear was almost completely blocked by the pillow. This dramatic change in sound profile shocked me awake, and it took a few minutes before I had acclimated to the new sound profile and was able to try to sleep again. If I moved or turned AT ALL, this process had to be repeated. Had the device had a strong bass component, and had the tweeter been turned down 20-30 notches, this would not be a problem. The sad thing is... The Sound Stories The 'Sound Stories' are actually all very high quality... when they work. You can attach headphones to the device if you want, and when I ran the sound through a decent amp and into some decent headphones, the 'Sound Stories' came alive. The deep bass is there, the highs are nicely muted and vibrant without being distracting, and the mids are immersive and clear. The sound quality is just not reproduceable by the low-quality components used in the product. Also, I must add that my unit had 2 definitely defective 'Sound Stories' and a few more that were likely on their way out. The Waterfall story was completely unusable. There was a loud hum present throughout the entire story, and it oscillated in a way that completely drowned out the actual waterfall. The 'Brown Noise' sound also kept getting infected with the cricket noises from the Meadow story, which was mildly amusing as well as distracting and unusable. I also had a few stories that sounded like they were going to have issues sooner or later. The Train seemed to buzz and hiss at random intervals, and the ocean had large periods of silence (sometimes 2-3 seconds) in the middle of playing. Finally, the sound stories themselves don't seem to be particularly well suited to a sleep machine. Many of them have large gaps in their frequencies that make it very easy for intrusive sounds to come in. As above, not having bass means that eternal bass sounds can come in. However, many of the sounds are missing large chunks of the mid-range frequencies that make them almost completely unsuited for blocking out any real noise. The Train story has almost nothing in the frequency range of human voices, so even relatively quiet talking cuts right through the story. The Meadow has nearly nothing between the asthmatic bass and the sharply shrill cricket chirps, and I honestly do not see how that would ever help anyone get to sleep unless the room was already silent. The Richness setting allows you to add additional sounds to each story, but instead of filling out the frequency range, it just adds random sound effects to the story. For instance, the Ocean story has a foghorn and seals. Maybe this helps some people, but to me it just made the sound story busier and more difficult to get lost in, which again completely goes against the purpose of this machine. The last thing about this machine is... The adaptive volume This was just comically bad. It's advertised as a way to have the device automatically increase its volume in response to external sounds, and it does technically do that. But the effect is that the device sloooooooooooooooooooooooowly fades-in the volume, meaning that the intrusive sound is going to do its damage and be done long before the device has had time to react. I had a loud diesel truck drive by my window, and the device didn't even start increasing the volume until the truck had passed and jolted me awake. Then, the instant it got to full volume, it realized the truck was gone and then slooooooooooooooowly brought itself down to regular volume again. It's like those videos you see where a parent pitches a ball to their small child to hit, and the ball whizzes past the kid a full 3 seconds before they swing. To be fair, I'm well aware of how hard it would be to make a device that can detect a sound, calculate it's volume, and increase it's own volume all before the original sound had time to reach the listener. However, just because something is difficult, doesn't mean we have to accept it when it's done poorly. Final Words The device was one of the most disappointing things I've ever purchased. The quality, quality control, design, output, capabilities, and overall ergonomics were nearly universally bad. I guess maybe sleep machines just aren't made for people like me, but it is truly surprising to me how positive the overall opinion of this product is. I would have expected the average person to be turned off by a device like this. At best, I would assume the overall impression would be grudgingly accepting. Instead, it seems like everyone genuinely loves this product. Granted, mine did have defects, but the defects themselves were only a small part of the problems that I saw. Most of my complaints are endemic to the device design, which is going to be the same for everyone. My advice would be to try to listen to this device in real life before you buy it. I'd wager than within 15 seconds you'll know without a doubt if you'll like it or not.
