Perfect for me
Quite simply, this product works very well for an apartment dweller, person who enjoys quiet or a grad student. If you enjoy or need white noise or the sound of a fan to focus, but you lack a proper sound system and a fan would be too chilly in the winter--try this product.<br /><br />I recently moved into a very old apartment building where the walls and windows are extremely thin. I listened to my neighbors shout and others manage to sound like a full-on zombie chorus until I could not take it anymore. I was rescued from the chaos of the cafeteria, shopping mall and frat party to relax in TRANQUILITY at last, for $40!<br />-------------------------------------------------------<br />My personal experiences in detail:<br /><br />What the Dohm-SS does not drown out:<br />My neighbor's noisy truck or its beeping sound, neighbor tramping up the stairs, slamming doors, sirens (obviously and fortunately!)<br /><br />What the Dohm-SS DOES drown out:<br /> outdoor voices, indoor voices, outdoor college parties 1200 yards away, my downstairs neighbor's techno music, most construction sounds<br /><br />Keep in mind that I can hear everything that my neighbors do, especially if it involves the stairs, but at least now their ruckus is silent or muffled.<br /><br />If I were to purchase 3 of of these they would totally block out all noise, if that were my objective. As it is, one Dohm-SS is sufficient to provide solace for a moderate sized bedroom. I position the Dohm as far away from me as possible at night, either near the door or the window. I am a fan of peace and quiet and now I've a much better option that wearing ear plugs--hooray!<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------<br />Good for: dorms, apartment dwellers, people sensitive to noise, students, test taking, privacy, people with attention difficulties<br /><br />It's easy to set up. Plug it in and adjust the holes on the top so that the sound is pleasing to your ear.<br /><br />In short, I do not regret spending my hard earned cash on this sound conditioner. Enjoy the wave of tranquility it brings and kiss goodbye the majority of the discordant shrieks, moans and raucous noise of your neighbors!
