Sleeping Soundly Now The Sharper Image Sound Soother is exactly what I needed to block out neighbors noise through thin apartment walls. It really has made a big difference in my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. Great Gift I gave this to my brother for his birthday. He has a lot of trouble falling asleep.
