Experts' Expert: Marpac Dohm White Noise Generator

"Official sound conditioner of the National Sleep Foundation."

Ever been in a therapist's office?

No?

Then you must be the only person in the U.S. who hasn't.

But I digress.

Above and below, the Marpac Dohm-NSF White Noise Generator.

For a sec there I thought it said NSFW and wondered if there was something I was missing.

Which is a given — but again, I digress.

Though you'll note I'm not apologizing for the digressions.

Jack Kent Cook once said, "Never explain, never complain."

Where was I?

Ah, yes, the white noise machine.

I wonder if they make a companion hot air device for politicians to use when they're on voice rest.

Oops, looks like another one got through.

Darn.

Wrote Joshua Fruhlinger in the Wall Street Journal: "Marpac has been making what they call 'sound conditioners' for 50 years. These devices, called Dohms, produce a rushing air sound that creates white noise that drowns out annoying sounds like the din of traffic, barking dogs, or whatever it is that keeps you up at night. I live next door to a FedEx sorting facility where they like to cycle diesel engines all night, and the Dohm was pretty effective in giving me something else to listen to. If you live on a busy street, this might be the device for you."

The machines start at $44.95.

I'm betting you'll get a whole lot more sleep bang for your buck with one of these than from a Tempur-Pedic.
