Lectrofan Review - Sound blocker with fan noises and white noise

[@susannorth8357]

I have been using this unit for 2 years and it is outstanding!! I travel and have never slept well in hotels. I'm very noise sensitive and this unit not only blocks out noises (even if I'm close to an airport!) it gives me fan/white noise choices that feel comforting. I am so grateful I found this.

[@PMDownUp]

And little did I know there was a community of fan noise lovers lol.

[@kimmypayne2559]

Must have fan on to sleep

[@astridjaye6224]

One simply does not sleep without a fan on

[@BradUNeed2CutIttt]

😂

[@oxymoron296]

It's called "loud neighbors syndrome"

[@justinw7323]

Isn't it just a mental thing say someone is revjng this loud annoying compressor across the street or near by and you decide to use a white noise machine just as loud but you don't wanna hear other peoples things just yours.

[@andrewnadal9927]

Woke up at 1 am and decided to finally buy this product. Hope it works. Between my kids waking up, the dogs snoring, neighbors tv, almost feel like im destined to never sleep again. Hoping things change once my Lectrofan comes in.

[@tiagocp2]

@Andrew Nadal, did it work?

[@gingerisevil02]

Andrew Nadal that's how I feel too. 😔 I'm too poor for a house. My neighbors slam their doors.

[@LokmanAfandy]

believe me, student dormitory is hell for light sleeper like me subwoofer blasting, party, people talking and laughing, Door slaming, etc

[@juanitasullivan3372]

I've been reading some reviews on this machine and it's not good. Just wondering how your machine worked for you.

[@tnezrose]

Juanita Sullivan I bought one because my neighbors would constantly have hot tub parties in the middle of the night and wake my entire family up. Ever since getting this I havent woke up due to the noise. My husband would agree that we will never go back to not having one.

[@robbabcock_]

Great review! I'm thinking of picking one up myself. I'm glad there's no LED on the front; light really bugs me when I'm trying to sleep. Gotta keep my room blacked out like a crack house. ;-)

[@LokmanAfandy]

i am light sleeper too and i need this

[@juanitasullivan3372]

I have tinnitus and get migraines so I keep my bedroom blacked out and keep a fan running all night all year long for white noise. Light isn't good for sleeping anyway. I've read many reports about NOT having clocks that are LED lite because of disturbing sleep. I do keep a very small night light on but I also keep it behind a chair so I don't actually see the light itself. Just enough light incase I need to get up at night without turning on a table lamp.

[@juliogonzo2718]

Juanita Sullivan I have tinnitus (I think, never been to a doctor) my ears ring like I just left an ac/dc concert all the time. I guess I shouldn't have cut my mufflers off and drove with my windows open when I was young and dumb. I haven't had a ceiling fan for years but it ran constantly when I did. I think I might get one of these things

[@juanitasullivan3372]

Julio, The reason I have the fan, (small table fan)is because of my tinnitus. I have that horrible constant ringing and can't sleep without the white noise to drown out the ringing. Where I rent I haven't been able to put in an air conditioner in the summer due to wrong style of windows. Portable a/c's too expensive. Before I moved back to Nova Scotia I lived in southern US states where it was always hot so I ran a/c's all year long. Never needed a/c here. Now with the climate change, a/c is needed. Landlord just had the bedroom window switched out and a/c will go in. But for now I use the fan. I have a backup fan for when the current one dies. LOL. That I will use in the winter.

[@juliogonzo2718]

Juanita Sullivan I've been to the airport in Halifax but that's it. Been to NL and NB. Greetings from nw ontario!

[@marydailey1568]

I've even been running a big fan in the winter. I just have to use more covers! I am going to get one of these!

[@Schmoityface]

I LOVE mine. It's heaven. And man does it ever work. Best thing I ever bought.

[@kneecool]

most of my life I've slept with a big ac unit right outside my bedroom window. now that I've moved to a less hot state, we don't have one anymore and i can't sleep at all when its too quiet. been using a fan but i think this would work better.

[@GreatValueBleach]

kneecool where did you move to?

[@shadow_finds_light]

This thing saved my life. Seriously. Great little machine that allows me to sleep.

[@Fernando-ur7vf]

No LEDs for something in my room at night please! 4:49

[@Tomasquo]

Good point about what it cannot block. Footsteps in any direction travel well through the floors, walls, ceilings, etc. When your apartment is too close to the elevator, vibrations from the elevator shaft can easily travel into your apartment and the vibrations can be felt in your bed. I had to sleep with Optime Peltor earmuffs for years (really bad apartment), and they block most of the sound that your ears might hear. But they cannot stop shock waves or vibrations. And another thing you made me think of... I do like some of the real sleep sound recordings that you can find on youtube. This machine would take care of those gaps, for example, in a thunderstorm, when the sound abates for a bit. Nice review. Thanks!

[@joshuamoore2308]

Would this block out loud noises like a dog barking or traffic right outside the house?

[@daveheel]

i just moved to an apartment building that is right next to a busy street at an intersection. i have a marpac that can't drown out the big trucks and motorcycles. i hope this works better.

[@3dplanet100]

Thank you for this video, I was looking for a white noise generator for sleeping and this is the best, and am gonna buy this. Btw, you did a great job reviewing this: you did not include annoying music, nor screaming like other youtubers. I don't know why you have 112 dislikes. But you have 701 likes, and now you have 702 likes👍

[@lisalovecat9969]

thanks for your review/demo. I did try the dohm and found it too loud and was nto very adjustable. I am wanting to block out outside noise from traffic and have a fan going, but its at that point of the year that a fan gets too cold ! now I can hear what this sounds like and I am definitely going to get one..... I am also very sound sensitive and would probably have it going all the time.

[@concretejungle7513]

lisa lovecat I put a shirt over my fan in winter to block the cold air - and it actually makes it louder too.

[@brianrussel6012]

(guest) Lisa, I too am used to a fan going to mask outside noises, such that I don't like to sleep without it now! If the fan is blowing cold air, get a piece of net curtain , and drape it loosely over the fan, thus slowing the air flow, but you still have the sound. ☺

[@GregRickard]

The led's are left off on purpose as it would create light.

[@thevoid5811]

nice picture, monero is the true cryptocurrency

[@KandiKlover]

Yeah. Hopefully the people who make this fan don’t listen to that part of this video lol

[@MichaelCohen48]

Thanks ..Just decided on this instead of the Marpac Dohm DS Dual Speed Sound Conditioner due to your great review

[@davidng9015]

Can this small machine reduce foot step noise from above unit or maybe blend in

[@libarra426]

I ended up buying an air purifier and it works just as good, if not better. The air purifier gives out this fan noise that is perfect. And, it’s purifying the air at the same time.

[@08virgo26]

Which purifier did you purchase?

[@JayN4GO]

Les Ibarra which one

[@valshog4089]

I bought the Dyson one, it works…

[@barbarosa788]

Great video, thank you! You went over this really well. So far this one sounds the best. I’m not into the rain etc noises. And needless to say, it’s a lot easier than lugging around that fan that I’ve been using for a few years now. As well as space to put it. I started doing this during the summer because of the heat. But I really missed it when it was turned off. It was way too quiet.

[@unavitadellamusica]

thanks for the review! I'm also highly noise sensitive, and unfortunately also live in a corner house, where i get the noise from 2 streets, plus very noisy next door neighbours. I normally sleep with 2 fan heaters on (on cold - just for the noise, not for heating), but that doesn't always drown out really loud noises from out side. Another problem is, that I can't concentrate or even funtion, like doing normal houswork, or eating a meal, while outside my closed window children shout and scream for hours on end, grown ups make their phone calls (often on loudspeaker). rubbish collection lorries take half an hour banging arround, or supermarket delivery lorries bang their car doors and merchandise arround on the road, (my windows are always closed when those things happen, plus I have 3 fan heaters making a white noise, but it doesn't help), while my next door neighbour has music blaring, or his children or the adults are shouting or screaming through the walls . Would this noise machine really be able to drown out those loud noises?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Since you are already using fans to mask the noise and it isn't working well for you I doubt the Lectrofan would be any better for you. Unfortunately some of us are hypersensitive to noise. You might want to try some "noise cancelling" headphones" along with your favorite music to see if that helps.

[@unavitadellamusica]

Thanks for your reply! I'm generally speaking a highly sensitive person, not only to noise. I'm sensitive to heat, touch and some other things, too. Headphones, any kind, I can't have too long on my ears, because my ears get hot from it. Therefore - apart from their really high price for the good ones - I wouldn't be able to wear them all day, or even for few hours in a row, and what would I do, when I want to make phone calls? I would have to take them off anyway. Then I couldn't make the call, because of all the noise again. That's why I wanted a good device like a noise machine, that does all those things, that really good noise cancelling headphones do. Now I thought, that this device you reviewed here would fit the bill, but if you think it doesn't do more, than normal fan noises, I'm rather disappointed, and still looking for something really effective. In case you happen to find something for me, maybe you could let me know? Of course, I'm also looking arround elsewhere myself, but so far unsuccessfully.

[@Mysterium.C]

Good to take on vacation, does it also run on batteries?

[@LowerMyPressure]

No the Lectro Fan is AC only. The same company makes "Sound+Sleep Mini" which is a sound machine that can use both AC and battery power. The only downside is that I don't believe it has more than one fan sound.

[@gblargg]

Use a USB battery power bank to power it. Uses only 0.2W and lasts for days. I used it during the three-day power outage in Texas. Life saver.

[@StephenBeale]

I was going to buy this until 3:51 my problem exactly - upstairs neighbours in my flat walking over my bedroom at night. Anyone know of any similar product for that kind of sound? It's driving me crazy. Thanks in advance

[@LowerMyPressure]

Sorry - the only thing that blocks out percussive noise would be ear plugs. I found the wax-impregnated ones the best because I could make my own custom size. Best of luck!

[@StephenBeale]

thanks! Will have a look :)

[@eLicky]

I purchased this fan for sound masking in a unit block, its almost a good product but most of the fan sounds have an annoying 'hum' underneath the fan noise at different tones, not sure if they're trying to replicate an electric noise but it really played on my mind mentally, I ended up sending it back. it was handy just being able to switch it on/off though. What I find better is using a bluetooth speaker or something like JBL Link Music and selecting one of the many youtube fan sounds available, they run for 10-hours+, you can select so many samples or apps from the Google Play Store.

[@ernestinetiggs4404]

What is the differences. between the dohm and this machine I want to block out loud neighbor's. and people listen to conversations in the house.

[@LowerMyPressure]

I don't personally have any experience with the dohm machine but I do know that they are sometimes used in examination rooms in doctor's offices to keep conversations private. I imagine both the lectrofan and the dohm work well in these situations.

[@lisalovecat9969]

I found the dohm too loud and not very adjustable. I just ordered a lectofan :) it seems to have ore functionality to it. I have also used the conair one for white noise, but prefer the fan sound myself...

[@AndreyBassNotes]

I found Dohm from Marpac too loud even on the most quiet setting.

[@cricketlancaster3852]

thh

[@alexibranson3870]

I agree i don't know why but i found it extremely loud even on the lowest setting I've even tried muffling the noise since it actually keeps me awake even with ear plugs the dohm is too loud for me i may try the lectro to see the difference

[@musfiqniazrahman]

Great review and great device indeed! My 8-month old son used to wake up frequently at night but now he sleeps much better with it.

[@tonywhite6985]

I live in a very quiet area, but a milk truck wakes me most mornings around 3am, it's diesel engine revving up a hill very close to our house. Hope this unit works for my case.

[@PMDownUp]

Is this loud enough as the standard fan. Volume is key.

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes, the volume is pretty good.

[@campesino87]

[@Dan-ms4oq]

I'd seriously advise people to read into the science behind white noise, drowning out isn't really isn't what's going on. If you have a constant ambient sound, you have a reduction in sensitivity to sound in general.

[@dral22]

Dan Simpson what... you want people to deal with folks like you, making noise all the time. While your annoying pets won't shut up

[@oldmandave56]

Great review...I have been on the fence about this unit as I heard the sound of brown noise and this gets really really close...you did a fantastic review...no BS very well done... will be ordering today...Thanks, CigarDave

[@nowandaround312]

I'm very sensitive to noise and live in an apartment with thin walls. How much will the Lectrofan reduce noise from neighbors playing loud music and television, and outside noise? I have to keep a fan on 24/7 even in winter, plus earplugs at night and noise-blocking headphones during the day at home, and some noise still gets through when they really crank up their music, or if someone is using a leaf/snow blower

[@LowerMyPressure]

It does a good job with the music and television. A leaf or snow blower is really loud and it's going to make a dent but it won't totally block it out.

[@mrsmebeforeyou]

I work from home and live near a train will this cancel train sounds

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes to a certain degree but don't expect miracles. It won't help at all if the sound you are hearing is from vibration from the train. Best of luck!

[@keoughsanchez1329]

Hey wat about a wave that u can physically feel any help

[@GypsyWolfGina]

Question- does it get as loud as a typical box fan?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes. The top volume is actualy louder than a regular box fan.

[@GypsyWolfGina]

@@LowerMyPressure OH thank you so much for replying (and so quickly too)!!!! 💖

[@karr4291]

Is it different this machine from turning on a white-noise music on KZbin? If not, it's better to pay some bluetooth speakers with its much higher quality of sounds, and also will be used for other use. ?

[@LowerMyPressure]

You make a good point but I don't like leaving on my computer or phone. With the Lectrofan I can set the timer and forget about it.

[@amandabrown6851]

I love a fan vs a device with a speaker because I can hear that it comes from a speaker, I guess it’s the pitch. Do you hear that with this machine?

[@LowerMyPressure]

The speaker faces upward which causes the sound to bounce off of the ceiling, etc. It does a good job of fooling the brain into thinking it's a real fan. That being said, nothing is going to replace the sound of a real fan.

[@debrademler8357]

This sounds awesome getting it for my daughter in law... may get one for myself I sleep right now with a fan but seems to be great on the go! Thank you

[@greyl5728]

I so glad that I order my, I'm very sensitive to noises and sometimes can sleep well, hope this white noise machine help me, when it is hot I turn my fan on is the only thing it help me to sleep and it blocks noise, but unfortunately in winter I couldn't, so it is when the noises are more comun, beside that I love the idea that it not have lights, since I not like any ligths at night that distracted me very much, I hate any kind the ligths in my room through the night, and this machine does not have, how wonderful.

[@jessier.cardona6062]

I just bought it, and thanks to you, I’m unboxing this “holy grail” I really need this to work. The only part in the booklet, owners manual, is the noises list from brown to pure white? There is no color led light, to indicate colors ? Would appreciate if you can let me know. You were great with the fan sounds. Thanks and enjoy you 🛏 💤 😴🙏🌈💫🙏

[@juanitasullivan3372]

Hi, I'm just now (Jan. 2019) finding your channel since I'm researching white noise machines. I'm wondering if you're still happy with this machine? I really like the steady sound over beachy or wind or anything like that. I'm a very light sleeper and hear every dang thing in the world! Right now I'm using a fan but not fun in the winter time. I'm in Nova Scotia. This little gem seems to be the ticket.

[@mrhenryb]

Does this help drown out sound in an office so conversations can't be heard outside of the office being used 🤔

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes but it can't be placed in the office where the conversation is taking place. Take for instance a doctor that has an exam room next to the waiting room. If a unit is placed in the waiting room, it works well. If it is placed in the exam room, it doesn't work as well. Hope this helps.

[@mrhenryb]

Thank you that helps

[@corycg1956]

I have one and it does good at blocking outside noise but it still won’t ever block out noise like my 20 inch high velocity fan will that thing is louder but of course a real fan has a motor on it so naturally it’s going to be louder.

[@coyclown]

Thank you, I enjoyed this review. I have a Sound Soother by Sharper Image and I'm not happy with it because I turn up the volume and the thing shuts off. Sometimes it will stay on all night, but way too often I find myself needing to turn it back on several times. Not to mention it's white noise is looped sound.

[@justinw7323]

I live near two busy roads. Off and on again road workers and house renovation. I just wanna get away from pounding hammers and loud compressors. This tool helps me a lot. It's your own frequency that your brain has knowing you perfer and its not a labor worker machine. I recommend two of them if you live in an noisy neighborhood . i dont put it in a room where my dog is as she is only allowed downstairs yet since she is still technically an adolescent fully grown puppy(2 years old) i keep everything upstairs and doors closed and put it wherever the outdoor compressor problems would be.

Yeah, had this for a couple years now, and it's just the thing. SO much better than the couple of other jobbies I had before. In fact, I like it so much that I'm going to buy another, just in case they change the design or go out of business or some thing, and I can't buy one again just like this later one.

Hi how about blocking noise from foot stepping csn this small machine reduce the foot step noise from above

[@joelmiller3174]

No. It does not block out percussive noise like footsteps. It does a better job on sounds that float through the air like conversations or music. My doctor has one in his waiting room and it blocks out private conversations he's having with patients in the exam rooms that are close to his waiting room.

[@user-wv2bn2cb1i]

I have one of these and run it constantly when my upstairs neighbors are home. Disclaimer- My neighbors are awesome and very considerate people and aren't noisy per se. It's the crappy bldg I live in and it seems like there is 0 insulation. So we hear everything. We can hear them blow their noses! , open and close cabinets, flush the toilet , hear the dishes clanging together as they wash them etc. It's not their fault. But anyway, this machine does mask some it it and can get loud but i still hear them so i also wear Hearos earplugs at the same time. Now my problem is hearing their old built in wall heater when they turn it on at 6 am. It makes this horrible humming sound. I moved the sound machine near the wall as close as i could get it but the plug wasn't long enough. It still woke me up even with ear plugs in. Am gonna have to get extension cord and then TAPE the machine to the wall. We can't move out . It's the cheapest apt we could find and took us a year to find it.

[@stephenfindlay6417]

Looks cool. I find computer-generated white noise isn't natural and leaves my ears ringing when I turn off the machine. I have the Marpac Dohm Classic and they have more of an analog sound. Simple and easy to use. Something worth comparing with this at a similar price point.

[@williamwatson7035]

Wondering how this would help tinnitus?

[@LowerMyPressure]

It might help just a little. You would basically swap an internal noise for an external noise. Your brain would concentrate on the louder external noise so, it could help. I have a slight case of tinnitus but I'm lucky in that it doesn't affect my sleep. Best of luck!

[@kalosagatoss1]

Hi and thanks. I have a huge problem sleeping as people step on the floor above me. Would it work?

[@LowerMyPressure]

It works best on "floating noise" such as conversations, TV, music, etc. Walking noise is percussive and transmitted by the floors, walls etc. So while the LectroFan will help a bit, it won't totally block out walking noises.

Looks like this product will help. I need setup advice though. My problem is that my downstairs neighbor in apts. bldg watches tv all night into morning in his bedroom under mine and sound is low, but for some reason in my bed I hear the low sound and it wakes me up, and my ceiling fan doesn't hide the noise. 1. How would I place the LectroFan (under my headboard area of my bed, or on my bedside table, or other choices?) 2. Would I use White noise or fan, I'm not educated on the effects of fan noise to verious sounds, Vs. white noise effects on various sounds, if you have a tip chart on this please let me know.

[@LowerMyPressure]

+Paco Hannigan I place mine on my headboard which is slightly elevated above my head. I think it may also work well on a bedside table. I think which noise you use really depends on personal choice. I happen to like the very first white noise sound but others prefer the fan noises. It might take a bit of experimentation to find the perfect combination - good luck!

Does this device block noises from inside as well? My dog howls a lot due to anxiety and I want to block her sound from my neighbors.

Can it simulate AC? I wish my AC box was in my room. It's the only sound that I don't mind. My neighbors slam their doors and I want to block that out. I hate the noise of fan minus my AC.

[@LowerMyPressure]

It probably won't have your exact sound of a particular AC unit. Door slamming is a percussive sound that is mostly transferred through structural elements as opposed to floating sound like music and conversations. A sound machine will only block a small portion of door slamming sound. I don't think this machine would be of much help to you under your particular set of circumstances - sorry.

How about snoring? Does it muffle the sound?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes it does muffle snoring to a certain degree. I had a snoring roommate in the next room and I positioned the Lectrofan on my headboard so that it was between the snoring sound and my head. Sometimes I had to turn it up pretty loud to drown out the sound but it did help. If the snoring person is in the same room, it's not going to work. Snoring is the worst - I'm glad he finally moved out! :-)

Actually it's weird and you wouldn't think it works but it does. The human mind is very good at playing tricks. When we hear conversations or other noises that are inconsistent, we strain to hear what is happening because we are curious by nature. When the sound is blocked out, we can relax and not have to waste the "bandwidth" trying to figure out what these distracting sounds are. At least, that's my take on it.

LowerMyPressure very strange how the brain works!

Does this unit have an AC cord???????? another reviewer stated it only has a USB connection cord which is not convenient to have to move my PC around or other electric devices would rather have one that I can plug into an outlet ?????

[@LowerMyPressure]

+The Dark Angel It comes with a converter that plugs into a regular wall socket, you can then plug the USB cable into the converter to power the Lectrofan.

[@thejupiter2574]

LowerMyPressure You said the unit speaker is loud but do you think it's loud enough to fill a reg sized bedroom from across the room of does it have to be within a few feet away for best sound to be loud enough? Thank you so much for your post and answers, better than the feedback on amazon thanks :)

[@LowerMyPressure]

+The Dark Angel I personally place my unit closest to the sound I want to block out. I live in a condo and noise comes from a common wall that I share with my neighbors. They play their TV late at night and even though they do their best to keep the sound down, I still hear enough to keep me from falling asleep. I place the Lectrofan close to that common wall and turn it up just enough to block out the sound - this way I don't have to turn it up really loud.

[@thejupiter2574]

LowerMyPressure so, as you said the speaker is good enough quality to be LOUD enough without sounding like it's vibrating, it can fill the room or that half by the source then???? Next week, first week I'm trying to get one from Amazon like this one. I hate the environmental sound units and the white noise as I just lay there thinking of what each sound reminds me of ie. a babbling brook and stream only reminds me of a public men's urinal :) :) and rain drops spattering on a window reminds me of bacon frying in a pan :) :) and white noise reminds me of the machine that my mum was on in ICU that's how my mind works :) :) THANKS

[@LowerMyPressure]

+The Dark Angel I would give it a try. Amazon has a really good return policy so you would only be out return shipping cost if you didn't like it. Best of luck!

[@tiko257]

could this unit mask vibrations or low pitch sounds ?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Since vibrations are percussive as opposed to a "floating" sounds it probably wouldn't work. You can always get one on Amazon and return it if it doesn't work out but my guess is that it won't make much of a difference.

[@jony22555]

its not too queit?

[@pat9784]

Thank you Tim Robbins!

[@KandiKlover]

Nice I saw this on amazon. This video.

[@frankhannigan715]

thanks for the help

[@SlingbladeJim]

Has anybody who purchased one of these done a video of how far the noise carries? Every one of the future movie directors record right over the device so a true use in a standard size room is not available.

[@pandaprincess3065]

I wouldn't mind having to do alittle math as I'm pressing the 60 min button to figure out how long I have it set for. 😊

[@twinkp9324]

You generate one sound to block another. Great deal...

[@twinkp9324]

Ok, thanks for the Answer. Maybe I'll build a quiet one. Going to present it tomorrow in our lab. Wish me luck!

[@rocee1140]

the volume button gets stuck and goes loud

[@ryanliberato4930]

It's a mixed review. Most of the negative feedback related to it's durability. Max lifespan of this product is just 1+ yr. Can anyone confirm this?

[@LowerMyPressure]

I've had mine for five years - no problems.

[@hideouslyric6679]

Great, I couldn't find anything to make a fan sound.

[@blaskotron]

I just play some spotify white noise on a loop.

[@catherinerose5889]

Like that there is no led as that can interfere w sleep

[@LTDCrownVicFanakaRoyalTsnumber]

It sounds like your tuning a stereo

[@TheShadow-qz5pz]

Just get a normal Lectro 30cm fan. Doesnt blow any air even when clean. It really only serves as a white noise machine. $15 bargain.

[@cl9826]

I'm glad they never added LEDs on the front. That would be awful

[@rmfalco6288]

To be honest those noises are not conducive to sleep or rest. (Unless the fact that this is a youtube video and so sound is not that good). The sounds sound too 'hard'

[@gingerisevil02]

Can this block out neighbors who play their tv too loud? Can it also imitate the sound of AC? That's the only noise I like.

[@gingerisevil02]

Sorry I just realized I already asked about the AC one! I would like to know if it blocked out tv- once I lay down, I can hear my neighbors tv and I'm very noise sensitive. And next year, there will be construction early in the morning, and my neighbors stay up all night :/

[@LowerMyPressure]

Yes, it does help with TV noise. It won't totally eliminate it but it masks it enough to make a difference. It has many fan sounds, maybe one is close to your AC?

[@gingerisevil02]

LowerMyPressure oh that's good! Sucks cause they also make my bed vibrate, but the sound of the tv combined is just miserable! If it at least covers it up some that will help!

[@VoxDeiUniversity]

its amazing

[@ElMayo31]

Has anyone tried buying this for tinnitus?

[@anncampbell6766]

MY NEIGHBOR IS JUST IGNORANT. AS LONG AS I HAVE MY BIG STEEL FAN ON TURNED TOWARDS MY FRONT DOOR TO KNOCK OUT HIS SLAMMING, HE CAN HEAR THE NOISE SO HE DO NOT SLAM HIS DOOR. IF I COME IN MY APARTMENT HE ALWAYS LISTENS AND WATCH ME THROUGH HIS PEEP HOLE. WHEN I COME IN MY APARTMENT, HE HEARS MY KEYS RUNS TO HIS DOOR I KNOW IT BECAUSE I CAN SEE HIS SHADOW FROM UNDERNEATH THE DOOR LIKE I SAID AS SOON AS I ENTER MY UNIT AND THEN SHUT MY DOOR HE OPENS HIS DOOR AND SLAMS IT REALLY HARD BECAUSE HE IS A IGNORANT A HOLE AND HE IS VERY WEIRD. IF I GO TO A NEIGHBORS HOUSE ON THE 2ND FLOOR AND HE HAPPENS TO COME ON THAT FLOOR AND SEE ME KNOCKING ON NEIGHBORS DOOR, HE WILL TURN AROUND AND GO BACK THE WAY HE CAME IMMEDIATELY. HE IS SO WEIRD THAT IT WOULD BE SCARY FOR MOST BUT NOT FOR ME. HE'S MENTAL TO A PUOINT WHEREAS YOU SEE RED FLAGS AND HEAR SAFETY BELLS GOING OFF. I PUT UP WITH HIM ON A DAILY FOR LIKE 5 YEARS. BUT AS LONG AS MY FAN IS ON I CAN HEAR HIM CLOSING HIS DOOR GENTLY AND I WATCH AND SEE HIM CREEPING THROUGH MY PEEP HOLE AS WELL AND MOVING SLOWLY LIKE HE'S UP TO SOMETHING. VERY CREEPY AND WEIRD. BUT HE DONT SCARE ME AND HE NEVER SPEAKS AND ALWAYS KEEPS HIS DOWN OR LOOKING AWAY. IM ALWAYS UP AND ALERT ON HIM AND WHEN LEAVING AND ENTERING MY DOOR. WEIRDO DONT WANNA TRY ME! I WAITING ON ELEVATOR AND GETS OFF AND OPENS THE DOOR SO WIDE SO HE WOULDNT BY PASS ME AND ALMOST PUSHED THAT HEAVY OLD FASHIONED ELEVATOR DOOR THAT SWINGS OPEN ON MY 2 YR OLD NIECE THAT HAPPENED TO BE AT HOUSE. I WAS ALMOST READY TO MAKE A QUICK STRAIGHT LINE FROM FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. LIKE I SAID HE ALMOST CAUSE WHEN I YELLED AT HIM I STOPPED HIM FROM ALMOST SMASHING MY BABY. I REALLY PLAN ON MOVING JUST TO GET AWAY FROM HIM. POLICE CANT DO ANYTHING CAUSE HE HAVENT COMMITTED NO CRIME. AND IM TIRED OF THINKING ABOUT DROWNING OUT NOISE EVERYDAY ON ACCOUNT OF HIM. AND IM TIRED OF HAVING EVIL THOUGHTS BCZ HE IS MESSING WITH ME ON PURPOSE EVEN AFTER I TRIED JUST SAYING HELLO A COUPLE OF TIMES. I FEEL WE ALL GOTTA LIVE TOGETHER SO LETS GET ALONG. BUT THIS FOOL DON'T LET UP! HE SLAMS HIS DOOR, HE LISTENS FOR ME WHEN I LEAVE AND MY RETURN. I BELIEVE HE LISTENS AT MY DOOR WHEN I HAVE MALE COMPANY ALSO BECAUSE MY DOOR IS BY THE STAIR CASE THAT LEADS TO DOWNSTAIRS AND OUT THE BUILDING AND IF U WABT TO WALK UP INSTEAD OF GETTING ON ELEVATOR. I CAN FEEL HIM. WHEN I HAVE COMPANY OVER I GEAR HIM CLOSING HIS DOOR SOFLY😠 IM NOT SCARED BUT UNCOMFORTABLE AT TIMES. I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEAR LIKE HE HAS BUT HE IS JUST. HE KIND OF ACT LIKE HE BEEN IN A WAR B4 OR SOME. BUT WHO KNOWS, IM JUST TIRED OF THINKING ABOUT HIM EVERYDAY
