A built-in computer and microphone continuously “listen” for intruding noises such as barking dogs, automobiles, overhead airplanes, or loud roommates. In Adaptive Mode, the unit dynamically adds sounds to the SoundStory and automatically adjusts volume to offer superior sound masking or neutralizing capabilities. All that’s left to hear is a soothing natural sound that minimizes disruptions that disturb or interrupt sleep. As intrusive noises subside, the unit gradually and automatically returns to normal playback settings.

Sound and “white noise” machines have long been used to help people mask unwanted background noise. However, even leading brands fail to use the latest audio software and technology. Although more people are attuned to high-quality audio from experience with MP3 and CD audio players, home theaters and PCs with external speakers or headphones, sound machines largely ignore improvements in case design, speakers and other components that can provide the quality people now expect from audio products.

Unlike competing sound machines, the SOUND+SLEEP product family plays high-quality, lengthy, and primarily natural sound recordings. This reduces the annoying repetition of short sounds and the irritation of poor-quality, short or synthesized recordings that can actually raise stress and disrupt sleep.

Each SoundStory has a library of dozens of enhancing sounds. The “Richness” setting determines how many sounds are added to augment the base SoundStory. Real-time variations introduced when Richness is increased make each SoundStory seem nearly infinite in length.

Features like the ability to turn Adaptive Mode OFF and ON; sleep timers with automatic, gradual off; and the ability to turn display lights off make ideal for nighttime use.

SOUND+SLEEP and nomad leverage over fifteen years of research and breakthrough patents for its Adaptive Sound™ technology. The SOUND+SLEEP family are simply the best and highest quality sound machines available today.
