Huge Variety of Sounds, Nice Clear Audio
This sound machine is truly impressive with the wide variety of sounds it makes. The instruction manual is detailed and accurate regarding which sounds are there, and in what order, something I don't often find with a sound machine and which I most definitely appreciate. There are six different categories of sound: ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response, which theoretically stimulates tingling skin and euphoria), Animals, Life, Babies, Nature, and Combination Scene. ASMR includes such unusual sound machine noises as eating potato chips and drinking water, as well as some music selections. The Animals category includes a cicada, pigeon, seagull croak, two different sets of birdsongs, frogs croaking, and crickets. Life includes flipping through a book, a campfire, drinking coffee, keyboard sounds, a train, and a ticking clock. Babies includes two music box selections, two songs being sung, a heartbeat, a lullaby, and ringing. Nature includes dripping water, two different wind sounds, two wave sounds, two thunderstorm sounds, a waterfall, and two rain sounds. Combination Scene includes soft background music (called leisure time), an urban street, a suburban pond, ocean waves, a seashore with playing children with waves and seagulls, an aircraft terminal, a coffee shop, a thunderstorm, sounds in the forest, a farmyard, muffled voices in a library, and something called life force which sounds like blood running though a vein as heard through a stethoscope. There is also a light that can be set at "breathing" (changing intensity), low, medium, and high. There is also a digital readout telling the temperature and the humidity at that location, be it indoors or outdoors. (The instructions do say not to use this sound machine in a high temperature environment, though). There is a timer button (the picture of a clock) with options of 20, 40, or 60 minutes, or continuous playback. There is also a volume button. Press and hold to increase the volume to the desired level, press and hold again to decrease the volume.  On it's own, the sound machine will play each sound one at a time through all the categories. Press the button with bars on it to change from category to category, and the button with musical notes on it to change from sound to sound within the category. If I find one I want to keep listening to, I can press the lock button to keep it set on that sound. It will remember the last sound played when it is next turned on. The sound machine has a battery, and charges via USB cord. The USB-micro USB cord is included, but not a USB to DC adapter. As you can probably tell, I really like this sound machine and all its many features. The original list price was $59.99, but it is currently marked down to $19.99. I think this is an incredibly good deal at this price.
